from Andrew Marchand of the New York Post,

NBC plans to wait until later in the NHL season before deciding who will follow the legendary Doc Emrick as the TV voice of the Stanley Cup, The Post has learned.

The leading candidates are Kenny Albert, Brendan Burke and John Forslund. Mike Tirico, who is the face of NBC, still can’t be ruled out as he has done games, but with the Summer Olympics scheduled so close to the Cup Final, he is not the favorite at the moment.

If Tirico wants to add the Stanley Cup to his resume, he probably could make it happen.

As it stands, the situation is in flux for a variety of reasons as NBC formulates its plans.
