Cup driven
The last 10 or so games of Brett Ritchie (before he was waived) featured Jack and/or Brick going on long diatribes about his “effectiveness” at least once every game.
I thought the over the top love affair with Chris Kelly from the broadcast booth was bad years ago. The Ritchie agenda blew it out of the water. Especially considering his level of play.
On the topic in general, I do find Jack grating but he calls the play well when he’s focused on doing the meat of what should be his job. He says a lot of really stupid things though, and I find it silly that so many fans just can’t seem to admit that. In terms of dumb exclamations, Jack is at the top. Brick tows the line that’s asked of him (Ritchie is the prime example), but he’s one of the better analysts knowledge wise IMO.
There are guys out there who may not belt it out as loud or obnoxiously as Edwards but take just as skewed a view. Go take a listen to the Leafs radio broadcast of the Wingels/Kadri incident from 2018 playoffs. It’s scary stupid.
Also, yes the presentation on NESN sucks. That’s been the case for as long as I can remember. It feels like a company trying to present in a “high tech” manner that runs their ship as cheaply as they possibly can.
Spot on man, spot on.
