Jack Edwards needs to be stopped.

[FelixPotvin29]

Are we really going to pretend a guy falling awkwardly after a collision is in the same league as a guy getting hit in the neck (or face) with a puck?

Leafs fans are taking this really personally. This is on the refs, not the Leafs. The Leaf player was hurting, there's no doubt about it. But it wasn't significant enough to stop play while the Bruins had the puck, especially given that it wasn't significant to stop play while the Leafs had the puck.

It was poor officiating. It happens all the time. Instead of justifying it because you're from the opposing fan base, why not just admit it? Some Leafs fans already have, and that's great. But snarky replies about the whistle being blown for a guy taking a puck to the neck demonstrate clear bias.

Jack gets paid to call the games the way Bruins fans like to hear them. Was he over the top? Sure. Was this a botched call? I'd say so.

The irony is your pages and pages of arguing is that Boston was lucky the refs didn’t call Marchand for interference (accidental or not).

He literally took out the legs out of an opposing player on a potential scoring chance rush.

Instead your bickering in hindsight what level of perceived injury constitutes a a blown play.

Something is in that Boston water alright

Hes a regional broadcaster employed by the Bruins.

Hes supposed to be biased.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Jack Edwards is a f***ing clown.

 

[Yeti of the Flow]

You know, you guys don't have to watch NESN. Meanwhile, Jack is absolutely one of the most talented PBP guys in the game. He brings excitement, hilarity, ridiculousness, and top tier lines.

Anybody who'd prefer the alternative PBP guys that can call Boston games (NBC) is objectively wrong. Doc is a bad PBP guy. He brings no joy to the game, no affection for the sport, and sounds like a muppet. Unless you like being reminded that Zdeno Chara is 6'9, the tallest NHL player, so that means he also gets the longest stick!!!

Oh, and he's 100% right. Calling that play dead when they did is a farce. Based on that precedent, any time the opposing team gets possession, it'd be wise to flop on the ground and groan for a stoppage. It was an objectively bad call.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

People all over the world will rejoice the day Edwards retires.

... and gets inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame for being the best PBP guy since 2000.

[oooooooooohCanada]

Genuinely curious as to what his reaction to the whistle getting blown when McQuaid took a puck to the face earlier in the game when Toronto had offensive zone possession.

Injury to the head / neck of a player who goes down immediately to not get up.

"Injury" to a player who goes down after some contact to flop around and is clearly in a safe place when his team recovers the puck with a chance to blow the whistle but the refs decline to as it was seen that the player, correctly, was fine, only to blow the whistle incorrectly when the opposing team gains possession back.

One whistle encourages flopping, the other doesn't. These two instances are not the same.

Was there a bone sticking out of McQuaid? Was he conscious? That's the criteria according to Jack Edwards.

 

[valet]

hahaha, that might have been unbecoming but he wasn't wrong

It's amazing that HFboards, home of the AINEC threads, still can't comprehend hyperbole.

 

[Bramskii]

Just came in to say I love Jack Edwards. Wish we had more play by play guys in the league with his passion. Too many robots announcing games now, *cough* Jim Hughson *cough*

 

[Yarborough]

Not going to lie, Bruins play by play is one of my favourites. There’s is something so Boston about them, and that makes games they announce that much better.

The fact that Marchand should have been called for a penalty has been brought up many times including by myself earlier in the tread, but for some reason Boston Fans seem to ignor it and just seemed to be focused on an apparent late whistle.

 

[Cappuccino]

Not a Bruins fan by any means, but love this guy as a commentator.

Johnsson didn't flop, Marchand took out his legs like the dirty f***ing rat he is. Bet Edwards wasn't complaining when whistle was blown after McQuaid got hit in the throat with puck.
What a loser Jack Edwards is. Anyone got video of Edwards from last 2 mins of Game 6 in 2013? Would love to see his reaction. Clown.

 

[Dr Pepper]

I can almost hear Jack screaming "You can put it on the boooooooooard......YES!"

 

[Love]

There is NOTHING more cringe than seeing a grown man act like he's 8 years old.

 

[Razz]

Marchand tripped Johnsson in a dirty play because he wasn't going to win the race to the loose puck and the refs never called it because, playoffs. They had no choice when Johnsson was hurt and the Bruins got possession. That would not have happened if there were 2 Leafs skaing up ice as there should have been if not for the Marchand trip.

Edwards is a moron.

 

[AvroArrow]

Well said

Those whiney Broons fans support this rat and act like Nazy tried to hurt Wingles. Anyone who has watched Kads since his days in London knows he's very athletic and was trying to jump over him not hurt him.

I'm going to be pissed if game 5 the Bruins fans serenade Kadri. If I'm him I skip the handshake line Saturday.

Jack Edwards, Marchand, and Bruins fans - they need to be put on an island with no cell phone service so no one can hear them

wtf are you even talking about LOL

Love it we can work Marchand into any thread

Stick salute

Go Leafs!!!!

How can he face his own children after this

Shocked & chagrined

This is beyond childish. It's not a Marchand thread.
