NESN UPDATE - NESN’s Jack Edwards announces retirement

[Bocephus86]

Love ya Jack, you're a legend. Hopefully he has a long fruitful retirement with his family, and witnesses many many Bruins Stanley Cups.

 

[TD Charlie]

As much as I wanted this, I’m sad. More than I expected.

 

[Scotto74]

Wont be the same without him. Enjoyed his love for the Bruins during that 2011 cup run. Wouldn’t have been as fun without him.

I really hope the next pbp has a personality and isn’t dry and boring

I already miss him and hope to run into him and buy him a beer someday

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Sorry but I'm sad. It's a sad day. Will always love Jack Edwards and I'm gonna miss him. Even a very good replacement will never actually replace him.

 

[ranold26]

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

 

[YukonCornelius]

All the best, Jack!

 

[GatorMike]

Man, winters around here are gonna sound very different next year without Jack and Mike Gorman.

 

[Clode]

Bittersweet day. I was 12 when he took over the PBP gig full time and will always be the voice of the Bruins to me but as the days have gone on its become more and more clear that his best days are far behind him. Big shoes to fill for whomever gets picked for the spot next whether its Faust or someone else, I don't think Jack in his prime will ever be topped. Enjoy Retirement!

 

[sooshii]

Thank you Jack!
God bless & Godspeed!

[Dellstrom]

Knew it was coming but it hits different seeing it. He’s broadcasted so many incredible memories for so many people.

Very well deserved retirement. If ever gets bored, I’d love to see him in a guest role in some capacity. Think he could still do really well in pre/post/intermission segments. I’m sure we’ll hear him again, but hope he takes some time to relax and enjoy life.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Underneath all of the "over the top" things Jack would say, Jack was a damn good PbP guy before his decline. It doesn't get said enough.

He was the voice of the Bruins' "return to relevance" in 2008 and was damn good at capturing some great moments over the years, obviously including some great playoff runs.

All the best to him. I've never been one to shy away from complaining about him when he goes over the top, but I will miss his call.

 

[dugg133]

Voice of my childhood, took over full time as the bruins announcer when I was like 9. Will always have love him and his eccentricities. But it was time, and I'm happy that even jack seemed to recognize that. Hope he has a healthy and happy retirement and knows that Bruins fans love him.

Also if NESN wants to give him a segment during their studio show akin to coaches corner where he can rant to his hearts content, I would not be opposed to that. He clearly still has the passion, just can't quite keep up with the pace of play anymore.

 

[Gee Wally]

I thank him for the years.
I wish him nothing but good health in his retirement.

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

Sad to see this happen so suddenly. Best wishes to Jack in retirement. He was never my cup of tea but had many iconic calls.

 

[McGarnagle]

Thanks for the memories

I'll always love Jack

 

[22Brad Park]

Enjoy your retirement Jack & thankyou !

 

[Bleached]

Somebody needs to tell Jack to make an account here. I'd love to still be able to hear what he thinks about things

 

[Gee Wally]

Volume on

 

[ProdigalFan]

I had a feeling he'd retire after this year and that he wanted to finish his career doing the centennial season. It was a struggle, but I'm glad he was able to do it. He will be missed.

 

[Kate08]

Man, Pat Maroon gets into a game and Jack retires.

I kid.

All the best to Jack in his next steps. Best wishes for a long, happy, healthy retirement with his loved ones. Thanks for the memories (and awesome cameo for our wedding from our STH crew, before cameo was actually a thing back in 2014)

 

[McGarnagle]

Faust is probably the heir apparent, no?

 

[Save By Thomas]

As much as I wanted this, I’m sad. More than I expected.

Losing Jack Edwards and Mike Gorman in the same year is really hard on the emotions

 

[DiggityDog]

During my college years I was a freelance journalist covering the Bruins for a bunch of magazines.

Had the opportunity to talk to Jack a few times after a practices and he was so kind and generous with his time.

Regardless of how you feel about him he loved this team, and the game.

I hope he enjoys his retirement. Thank you for the memories.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Faust is probably the heir apparent, no?

That or maybe Dave Goucher returns to take over.
