Isn't he under contract to Las Vegas?Maybe they can pluck Goucher.

And rightly so. Doc has had a long and successful career. But he can’t keep up with the play. It’s really tough to listen to him do PbP these days.I wouldn't be surprised if this is Doc's last playoffs. He's been relegated to third string, he's in the Western Conference when he usually does the East, he's not even broadcasting from the arena, and it's obvious NBC is giving the Forslund - Meathead - Bouch team the prime spots.
I actually like Milbury as a color announcer, even if he says outrageous things......He is blunt and unafraid to call out players for mistakes..........
Something about Jack I like. I know how absurd he is but its funny most of the time. He can’t control himself which in a way is hysterical. Its almost like having an ex. You know you shouldn’t go back to them, but something about them brings you back.
Did I just say Jack Edwards is my ex? Oh well
I think the comment about "women aren't in the bubble" has to do with certain players being distracted with going out and trying to pick up women. You see it more with other sports stars IMO but if this took place in 2013 I think Seguin may still be here. He was young, handsome and athlete and wild and obviously wanted to enjoy all that life had to offer without really thinking about what it meant to his teammates and his chance at winning a cup.I actually like Milbury as a color announcer, even if he says outrageous things, like his harsh comments about Tuukka (which certainly were representative of an unfortunate segment of Boston fandom). He is blunt and unafraid to call out players for mistakes, but also quick to praise, and he has a pungent humor that makes for good listening. The comment about women in the bubble was an attempt at humor (and a little truth) that backfired, but it's certainly not worth canceling him over.

I don't know his contract details, but he sure sounded like he was done when Vegas wrapped up their first round series.
He wouldn't come back East for a radio gig, and I doubt he would come back for anything but hockey, with how long it's been his sport.
That leads me to believe he's gonna have the Bruins TV PBP...
But the Bruins already have a TV PBP guy, like him or not. Not familiar about Jack’s contract but I have not read that either NESN Or the Bruins are displeased with him. Just a few fans.I don't know his contract details, but he sure sounded like he was done when Vegas wrapped up their first round series.

most likely Goucher simply cannot be allowed to leave until the season is over, Fenway did also state that could Delaware North sell their stake in NESN and then try to leverage that into NBCSB....Googling it got me this:
Jack Edwards to remain with NESN as Bruins play-by-play voice | Boston.com
Jack signed an extension in 2018 to take him through the 2021-22 season.
I think @Fenway said that Goucher got some kind of offer back here, but Goucher also went on some Vegas radio show a couple days ago to debunk the idea that he's leaving, so who knows? I'd certainly love to see him back here as a Jack replacement.

Dave Goucher had a very emotional sign-off at the end of the Golden Knights/ Blackhawks series. This sign-off lead some fans to believe he was leaving Vegas and heading back to Boston. Dave joined the show to clear the air and his broadcaster partner called into join the fun. PLUS - we get exclusive Dave Goucher Karaoke.
Dave Goucher and Shane Hnidy Interview
I like Jack as well and love GouchetI love Jack Edwards. In world becoming more edited, sanitized, and homogenized with each passing day, I love his unbridled enthusiasm. Enjoy it while it lasts; cancel culture loves to stalk prey like him.
At the same time, NBC Sports Boston is struggling with only one team. NBC/Universal and the Celtics are said to be willing to offer Jacobs 40% of a new revamped NBC Sports Boston and the Bruins moving. to the station. Jacobs could then sell his 20% of NESN to the Red Sox which is worth at least $200 million and perhaps as much as $300 million.
NBC has done a good job producing local hockey in Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Jose and NESN has fallen behind the other RSN's around the NHL.
I’d likely never watch NESN again.The wrinkle in this is what is Jacobs going to do with NESN? Crazy as this sounds Jacobs needs CASH as his business worldwide has been slaughtered the past 5 months.
