NESN Jack Edwards

[Fenway]

 

[TD Charlie]

I thought his favorite call might have been “THE POINT OF THE DAGGER AT THEIR THROATS THEY RIP IT OUT AND KILL THE BEAST!”

 

[PB37]

Loved that call.... for me, it marks the return of Bruins hockey after a couple of really hard years.

But for me, there's a bit of a Mendela Effect going on here because I thought this call happened after the Sturm goal. I must have lived in a parallel universe at the time.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Watched his call of the Frederic vs Tanev fight. Very well done. He still has it when he isn't openly excited by the other team or selling the product as the best game of all time during a dreary game vs Arizona.

 

[Aeroforce]

I miss Jack and have numerous favorite calls of his.

My absolute faves are his " SAVE BY THOMAS!" exclamtions, as he sounded as amazed as we fans.

By the way, with the season over is he done for the year? I know the logistics of this unprecedented playoff will be difficult, and teams are limited regarding personnel.

But it would be great to hear Jack and Brick even if only for the round robin.

RSN's are contracted for the first round of the playoffs.

NESN will carry the tournament for seeding and the first round. Jack and Brick may have to call the game off a monitor in Boston but Sophia will be at the venue.

I also thought that the vibrating comment was after the Sturm goal, so I was in the same universe.

As to the bolded, for me it happened after Savard's OT goal in game 3 that year (honorable mention to Peter Shaefer). Everything felt 'different' after that....

He's leaking oil badly. It's painful to listen to. Barring an unforeseen resurgence, it's time to pass the torch. Listening to that call of DeBrusk's second goal last night turned a thing of beauty into a borderline tragedy.

 

[smithformeragent]

The entire broadcast could use a shot in the arm, but it feels as though they’re content with it.

They being Tom Werner.

Brick’s long since lost his fastball.
The grab assery between he and Jack is cringey.

”Brick, some good late summer weather to get out and play a few holes.”

“He he he he he he....”

Dave Goucher would've been perfect. Freaking vegas.

Goucher only went to Vegas because NESN wouldn't give him the job here. He wanted the NESN job for years.

 

[CharaBadSenyshynGawd]

I am totally content with Jack and Brick.

Vegas scored. He's fantastic. I hadn't realized it because I never listened to B's games on the radio when I lived there. He's very sharp and he has that excited voice octave too. He's popular out here.

 

[LSCII]

Still a clown. And his schtick about the guy on the canes getting what he deserved when he got hurt was garbage. He's f***ing embarrassing....

That's great...except he didn't say that.

Paraphrasing, but what do you think he meant?

“What NBC hasn’t shown yet, regarding the unfortunate injury to Svechnikov: the Carolina wing playing hobby-horse, riding Chara on the back apron of the goal,” Edwards tweeted shortly after. “You poke the bear, you take your chances. No one wanted to see Svechnikov hurt, but he bit off more than he could chew.”

Claiming another angle will show Chara was the victim is a qualifying statement. Playing hobby-horse riding Chara further qualifies how he feels about it, no? You poke the bear you take your chances. He's blaming Svechnikov and saying he got what was coming to him, basically implying it was karma. I mean shit, do we really have to split hairs? Everyone in the world knows what he was implying.

But hey, you believe whatever you want. The guy is a f***ing clown, IMO, and just having the team associated with a Grade A tool bag like Hack Edwards is cringe worthy.

 

[DaStinger]

Used to be a huge fan of Jack. He has lost a step with his play by play over the past few years. Jack fit the team in 2011, now however I feel it's time for a new voice.

 

[RoccoF14]

What is it about Carolina that brings Jack Edwards to a completely new level of idiocy? Is it just me or doesn't it seem like some of his most stupid comments seem to occur whenever we are playing Carolina....

I still can't get over the "stripped the whale of its blubber" comment after we beat Carolina 2 years ago. You'd have thought we'd just won the Cup with the way he was carrying on.

Jesus what a d-bag.

 

[The National]

I could see a replacement coming. Although he still stirs the pot well with his ridiculous statements, which brings some views I’d assume.

Can we convert Don Orsillo to hockey? Miss that guy.

Because it’s the old Hartford Whalers. Sore point with him. He lives in Ct.

Jesus Christ, that was 23 years ago.....He and maybe 4 other people are still hanging on to that? They've been in Carolina longer than they were in Hartford.

They aren't even owned by the same people who moved them to Carolina...

 

[The Andrew Peeke Fan]

Best in the game, baby.

 

[BlackFrancis]

I'll never get the desire for a Bruins PBP guy who makes you proud to socialize on twitter with 10 million misanthropes.

He's a cringe factory. He might be getting worse as he ages. I will still always love him for delivering Bruins fans from the horror of Dave Shea and the paint drying boredom of Dale Arnold.

To me, all he's saying is that it was an unfortunate outcome for going to war with a much larger man. He dressed it up and I can see how it's insensitive to the more sensitive types, but all he's doing is pointing out the painfully obvious, which is what he does. I don't see why this got the attention it got, especially if you're familiar with Edwards.
