Jack Edwards is an idiot and half the announcer Goucher is.

That's all it was. Edwards trying to sensationalize it a bit but it's clear he wasn't saying it was karma. That's just wishful thinking from people who already hate him.
If you get into a net front battle with Chara, you won't win. That's the point and it's true.
Yes, Jack is annoying more often than not these days. He isn't intent to injure dumb.

On top of that, it wasn't Svechnikov "playing hobby horse" behind the net, it was frigging Aho. Even when trying to be edgy, Jack screws it up.

What he said was f***ing stupid.
And no, I’m not “outraged”. I’m just calling something obvious for what it is, as others have.
I understand that some people like the guy’s goofy (I prefer “clownish”) personality or his strong fandom, but it’s pretty sad when he doesn’t get held to anything resembling any sort of professional standard.
Call me a bleeding heart, or whatever, but seeing a young star player f*** up his knee doesn’t put me in the mood to have a laugh or “gotcha” moment mere minutes after said player has been assisted off the ice with what could possibly be a career altering injury.
Not to mention that Jack’s whole “point” was not only insensitive, but factually incorrect, as the player he was referring to behind the net was Sebastian Aho.
It’s just an all around idiotic comment and decision to make it, whichever way you slice it.

Goucher had the no iconic call from the B's 2011 Cup Win
"Get the duck boats ready"
I can only imagine what stupid thing Jack would have said in the same situation.
I get chills every time I hear it.
I also love his 98.5 bit Goucher goes to the movies

Toucher and Rich had some good bits with him.
There was one where they had him call play by play for classic television moments like Marcia Brady getting hit in the nose with the football.

I forgot about that one. I think his best ones were Karate Kid and Olympic speed walking

Why does Edwards assume we are all thrilled when NESN gets to broadcast a game and not NBC? When Edwards is focused he's a very good play-by-play guy, but the quirkiness and the yapping can get annoying. John Forslund, the Toronto NBCSN guy, is just as good at play by play with none of the annoyingness. That, coupled with the lack of the extremely irritating sports scroll, makes me vastly prefer the NBC broadcasts to the NESN ones. Also, though I like NESN's in-studio crew, it's good for a change to hear what others outside the Boston bubble have to say about the game.

Judd Sirott. Nice enough guy but very monotone, almost robotic.
I find it much harder to follow the play on the radio with Sirott.

The play by play of the crane kick in The Karate Kid he did for them was hilarious.

Yes he is. Polak incident ring a bell? He’s an embarrassment to the organization. Anytime an opponent gets hurt he runs his karma, or poke the bear BS. His play by play has been equally as horrible as well

Plus the "He Scooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooores" goal call is terrible. Just terrible. Not every goal is a 7th game OT goal.
I’ve been watching nbcsn coverage and I’m finding the playoff games much more enjoyable without jack
People do realize that Jack has to call the game from the TV feed right. This has to be a lot different from calling live from the arena.
It took me a couple years to get used to Jack, at first I thought he was awful compared to Dale Arnold. Ever since then, I think he is great. I enjoy his call on the game much more than national broadcast, and I actually think he is far better than Arnold was.
