NESN is not traveling with the Bruins, and Jack Edwards is frustrated: 'They know I’m not going to like it'
When this happens at TD Garden, Edwards, from NESN’s booth on the ninth floor, can describe the play perfectly. Because of his panoramic view, Edwards sees the entire ice plus both benches. Player identification comes naturally.
But on Wednesday, if this sequence occurs during the Bruins’ road game against the Panthers in Sunrise, Fla., Edwards will be as limited as every NESN viewer. He will be in Watertown at the network’s studio, calling the game off a monitor.
“Guys, all the time, skate into the frame at 15 miles an hour and crack a 90-mile-an-hour one-timer,” Edwards said. “And I have no idea who it is.”
This season, networks have the green light to travel for road games, but there is no consensus around the league on whether to do it.
