Jack Edwards being Jack Edwards

[pvr]

Jack Edwards is the Rene Rancourt of broadcasters. Bruins fans love them but they are both horrible.

Can I like this one five times?

At least one is retired. Can’t be soon enough for the other.

I read this whole comment in a completely obnoxious caricature of a Boston accent and it was funny so I did it again. "my brothers and I still..." "FREAKin' brawdcasta" "new invention PEOPLE..."

It's so good, I can't stop.

well I’m glad I could bring some joy into someones life!

That's still not how you use an apostrophe. Contractions and possessives. Not plurals or any random word ending in "s"

In more on-topic trains of thought: Jack Edwards continues saying dumb hyperbolic stuff. In other news: water, wet. Sky, blue. More at 11.

Was being sarcastic, Nem. The silliness of pluralizing by adding an apostrophe and an "s" at the end of a noun is a pet peeve of mine.

that's what the sarcasm smiley is for.

But I'm right there with you.

A couple years ago I used to drive past a store that sold cowboy/equestrian supplies (riding gear, clothes, cowboy hats/boots, etc) and they had a sign hung on their fence out front that said:

Trailer's for sale.

After a while I felt like I wanted to stop in there and tell them what they did wrong.
I didn't, but they eventually changed the sign and removed the need for the apostrophe.

But there’s no shortage of pro-Oilers bias in Jack Michaels’s calls either. Then again, I’d want little to do with a Battle of Alberta called with neutrality.

Speaking of misused apostrophes, you don't use 's after a name ending in s.

The correct usage would be "... Jack Michaels' calls..."

Source: I have a name ending with an s.

Jack is the GOAT because all announcers are somewhat biased but Jack's bias has a bit of wit while all the the others seem to be serious idiots.

I feel like I need to keep repeating myself everytime there is an Edwards thread.

Jack Edwards would be a legendary wwe commentator. I don't think there's a job that suits his talents more than that.

I was taught both Michaels' and Michaels's are acceptable although the latter looks f***ing horrible.

Edwards is the biggest idiot of all, but hey, you’re a Bruins fan, so you don’t care.

bit of wit? Hey you wanna see the afterlife? Yeah, real f***ing witty.

^mad online about regional hockey announcer

 

[blazenlo]

I love when the Bruins are so good that the jabs move their way to the staff! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Edwards has passion! He could help some players....

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Colour commentator... those words dont mean what you think the mean.

Hes a play by play guy. Brickley does the colour.

I can see this convo with Don Cherry
net work exec:"umm Mr Cherry why did you say that?"

Don:"I am a color commentator"
exec:"I think we have had a fundamental miss understanding on what commenting on color means Don"

Yep, and a fan reply don't mess with Rene. Thats what it is. Rene was horrible but an icon for the B's franchise.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Not a Bruins fan but I enjoy Edwards biased commentary most of the time. He's a homer. So what.

He’s a lunatic with a microphone.

 

[sr edler]

That afterlife comment with Maroon and Chara, it sounds like he's pitching the broadcast/game to 7 year old boys who wants a sports substitute for their action figures. It's corny but also a bit entertaining in a dumb way.

 

[BostonBruins11]

He probably knows more about opposing teams roster/depth/prospects than any other announcers, his knowledge is on point.
He's constantly gushing over other teams prospects/players.

Disagreed. The apostrophe outside of the ‘s’ infers possession by more than one.

“The puck was in the players’ bench”.

Rolling your way doesn’t make this distinction.

Key word in my statement was "name."

 

[DaStinger]

You think he's biased? Go listen to him when the opposing goalie robs a Bruins player. In all seriousness though, I loved Jack at one time... he's past his prime now though.

Hmmmm. Fair enuf.

[OKR]

Do you wanna see the afterlife? I'll take you there''
followed by Chara getting thrown around lol, but yeah Edwards would be okay in my books cause he is easy to hate because he is such a homer, but you would think someone so passionate about hockey would understand even a bit of the sport.

Incorrect

you've actually never LISTENED to him. Probably only a handful of cherry picked instances from haters.

Your hate is the BS

 

[RedMenace]

Hmmmm. Fair enuf.

One of the big reasons people hate learning English: All the stupid, one-off rules.
