Jack Edwards is like an 8 year old, tells stories that have nothing to do with what was happening/being discussed, doesn’t know how to pronounce anyone’s names, cries when things go against his team and bursts out uncontrollable laughter in excitement when his team does good things.

Oh Jackie.....
I'll never forget the time you compared the Bruins beating the Montreal CANADIENS to the United States beating the British Empire.

Who is Adams and what do they have to do with this thread?
The hate some guys get is amusing. I’ve always liked him - an entertaining homer.
Agree...people can listen to radio feed if they want..he sure gets people triggered.. lol

That was the single most asinine moment in the history of sports' broadcasting.
(Well, other than the Penguins' guy making that joke comparing a Pens' player falling down to Hobey Baker's crashing to his death in an airplane.)

Jack Edwards has said some bizarre stuff over the years but tonight in a game also seen on NHL Network he said this
"Reminds me of the summer I grew to be bigger than my older sister and I pinned her to the ground and said 'I've been counting'." - Jack Edwards...followed by absolute dead silence from Andy Brickley.
Dat silence after.

If I'd ever contemplate becoming a Bruins fan, Jack Edwards would prevent me.

He's obnoxious, loud and unashamedly biased. I'd say he's a great fit for his market.

That’s the problem with hiring fans to broadcast. I just like a nice unbiased opinion when I watch the game

This anecdote, and the fact that it's important to him today, explains his entire personality (disorder).
Thanks for letting us into your head, Jack.
I'm old enough to remember when Jack Edwards broadcast non-Bruins games

Him saying about 11 times during the goalie interference review today that the puck is fair game in the crease was indicative of how big of a Homer he is or how little he actually knows. That’s not exactly how it works jack

It'd be nice if Edwards would say something really offensive and get himself fired, so I could go back to respecting and enjoying the Bruins' franchise.

Watching the SOTY from today and he doesn't even mention blackwood at all... all he cares about is the call on the goal. What a homer.

Great Dane! Love that Eller feller.
Oddly enough, he actually gets excited and shows a pulse when the Bruins give up goals.
Look at how he calls these MTL goals from 2011 G7:
Jack Be Quick
Hasek Is Right
5,000,000 games announced and he can't figure out how to hide his grotesque homerism on a national broadcast nor figure out how to pronounce Kulikov or Subban? I'm almost surprised he didn't refer to Kyle as Poolmary.
Him and the troll sitting next to him also apparently have a poor understanding of the rules and regulations of our beloved sport.
Jesus christ, at least give me Jim Jackson.

If a local commentator, who is employed by the team doesn't show bias they're not doing their job. Their job is to sell the product (the team they're calling the game for), not to call the game down the middle with no bias. If you don't like a commentator, switch to another one, there's a least four for every game (home/away and tv/radio) and likely more beyond that.
Edit to add: Edwards hasn't done a "national" broadcast in over ten years, since he became the play-by-play man for the Bruins in 2007. NHL network/center ice showing the NESN feed does not count.

His job is to be an idiot? Seriously if I was a Bruins fan I'd watch the other team's broadcast.
Also I can't escape him when watching Boston home recaps on youtube. The only solution is to mute sound.

Bruins,Sabres game, he was actually making fun, laughing at Sabres players and to their current situation.

Edwards has always had a man crush for Stamkos too. He can be trashing Tampa players all game but as soon as Stamkos scores he's loving life.
