[The Hockey Tonk Man]

I realize Edwards is a homer for the Bruins, however when he makes a complaint like this is why I can't stand him.

 

[McRpro]

Great news!

 

[Il Stugotz]

Perfect match between fan base and announcer

 

[Keith Sweaty]

That's unfortunate

 

[Paperbagofglory]

This guy is the voice of every inner monologue for schizophrenic people.

 

[tom leafers]

for some reason, that is not what i expected Jack Edwards to look like lol

 

[Habitantpeasoup]

I miss Fred & Derrick calling the games, especially when they played the habs some great battles back then..

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The problem here is retaining Alex Kraemer.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Great news.

 

[GodEmperor]

Great news for Boston fans, unfortunate news for the sane world.

Many don't recall the era of the Bruins having Ned Flanders call the play-by-play. "Saku Koivu enters the Bruins zone and Brad Stuart tries to pokely-dokely the puck away."

I'd rather the game be called by five Steigerwalds than ever listen to Dale Arnold again - Nyquil in human form.

He's a major goof, at minimum, but far from the worst.

As long as when fights happen he and his partner just dont talk about it ever on brodcast sure. His job is to be biased but sometimes its to much to here about how a bruin clonnered a guy after landing no pumches and being knocked out. I WANT TO LIKE THE BRUINS SO BAD!!!! Just trade Marchand and get a new broadcast team =(

Who did she make a good impression on? Everyone here, including myself, seemed to think she was awful.

Yeah but have you seen her.....hockey insight??

There is a difference between being a homer and an out and out liar.

There is a difference between being a homer and an out and out liar.

Doesn't Edwards fit into both those categories?

Jack is the best pure play-by-play guy in hockey 99% of the time. He's more prepared, knowledgeable and passionate than anyone out there (h/t to the LA guys). But 1% of the time he's a crazy homer and those are the clips on youtube that everyone judges him on.

ROFLMFAO.

You got your percentages backwards, also Jack Edwards and best don't belong in the same sentence unless it is something like
"Jack Edward is not the best.. "

I mean, he gets worked up whenever there is a physical event, whether excited or upset. The guy is clearly passionate about the game, willing to give the opponent their due when deserved, and has a great voice for the game. But he certainly is one of the kookiest announcers in the NHL right now.

Best

ever.

That he does. The homerism is not so bad though he just may be the worst at it but the out and out lying about things is deplorable.

 

[unicornpig]

was his job security in question? not even a bruins fan and i think he's great.

 

[boredmale]

NESN needs to ban him from using the word lanes

 

[Bank Shot]

Why is this on the main boards?

Seems like something only Bruins fans care about.
