I will not be moved from my position that prior to his illness, Edwards was one of the top PBP guys in the league on a technical level, and happened to have a performative homer streak which made him unpopular outside his home market (which was the only one he cared about).

By far the most infuriating broadcasters to listen to if you’re the away team, and I mean that entirely as a compliment. Enjoy retirement.

 

[Mr Kot]

Shame, I did like the guy, was an exciting announcer.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

No surprise there.

 

[ricky0034]

best of luck to him

he's the only teams announcer that I know the name of off the top of my head(other than the Wings which considering i'm a Wings fan obviously I know them)

that says something even if it is mostly because of people complaining about him

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Great decision. Happy retirement.

 

[GKJ]

This guy was there 20 years???


I remember him on SportsCenter.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Yes!!!!!

 

[Ace]

20 years too late

I watched Bruin home games on mute if I had to watch the stream. Not because he was bad just a Homer.

If I was a Bruins fan I would have had him blasting.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Was a fantastic broadcaster when he didn't get too invested in the stakes of the game, but had some pretty hilarious bits in his time.

Boston will surely miss him in the booth.

Good riddance, this guy was a total buffoon.

 

[Jacob]

The way he sounds on broadcasts this year is genuinely concerning.

 

[57special]

good riddance.

 

[Bocephus86]

Love ya Jack, enjoy retirement my man. Legend.

 

[BB79]

"SAVE. BY. THOMAS." is forever etched into my brain from this man. I'm not surprised with his health issues that he's calling it a wrap.

 

[5 Minute Major]

A good run. He said things that infuriated me at times but he loved the Bruins and hockey.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Happy retirement but this is good news for hockey. Nothing wrong with being a Homer announcer but he was just objectively bad at his job. No matter who you cheer for it’s just a simple fact that he was awful.

 

[super6646]

Not surprised at all. He sounded rough the last few seasons. Wish him the best in retirement.

I remember him on SportsCenter.

I remember him on channel 5 here in Boston in the 80s when I was a kid

 

[FinlandPanther]

BEST NEWS EVER!!!!

 

[TimeZone]

He really, really struggles to put together sentences now, it's tough to listen to.

I do hope he figures out whatever is causing this and gets back to normal.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Good riddance. f***ing hell did I hate this guy, worst in the league for neanderthal takes for sure.


That said, still hope the best regarding whatever medical situation was causing his issues in recent years that was still undiagnosed as of a couple months ago I believe.

All the best to our Bruins legend.
He made so many memorable calls and pissed off so many other team's fans.
