Jack Edwards call on Oshie

[Halakitlikethat]

He seems to have got worse this year. Is he going senile?

Yeah he’s losing it a bit for sure, pretty noticeable. Mispronouncing names, stumbling and fumbling over words, but still as unhinged as ever.

All the more entertaining as far as I’m concerned.

Well I also think Mr. Edwards tends to try to play into this role of villain but often ends up looking like the jester.

I won’t argue the point. He’s an ass, and unfortunately us bruins fans or any fans don’t get to choose our teams pbp guy so we are stuck with him. My only point in this entire thread was the op was pretty disingenuous in how he framed his clip, but that’s what he’s known for, he’s the Jack edwards of hf.

 

[LGBlues]

One thing I give him credit for is his real time call on Chara injuring Pacioretty - even him, and the league discounted it.

 

[discobob]

Ill give him credit for sharing part of his name with Jack Daniels... but that's it

Edwards is employed by NESN to be a homer.

What does thay have to do with the irony of you disliking whiners and temper tantrums yet defending Jack Edwards?


It doesnt

 

[Anisimovs AK]

They do? Last I checked they only do it for the defending team if the player isn't in danger of being shot at.

If I recall the event you're taking about, Werenski was up high, play went down low and he didn't lay down on the ice. People talk down embellishment, but the reality is you need to act like you got shot for the Refs to care.

He was in the high slot. Layed on the ice for 6 seconds before getting up from a blood puddle large enough to be visible from the broadcast camera. He had about 3 seconds of skating off the ice (leaving a trail of blood) then the Pens scored

 

[Halakitlikethat]

It’s interesting cause Edwards is insufferable but I used to be able to tolerate him. I think brickley is fantastic though .

 

[Yackiberg8]

Seemed like a good call to me. I assume this is a local broadcast? Enjoy homerism on a local call.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Anyone have his call on this play?

Had you read the thread you'd see someone asked last page and it was answered. They laughed because it was funny. It was funny.

Jack Daniels isn't very good...George Dickel No 12 is a much better Tennessee whiskey.

i watch a bunch of different sports and i havent found anyone as annoying and absolutely disgusting as this guy. a complete and absolute tool

People don't seem to understand that local broadcast are for the fans of the team. Their job isn't to neutral and call the game down the middle.

Edwards is annoying but I get it. I get his shtick. And obviously it's what the audience wants if he's been on the air this long.

Edwards is in his mid 60's. He's definitely lost his fastball but i wonder how much of that is from having to do the PbP on a tv screen and not from a booth. He's behind the play a lot, stumbles over words, and loses his train of thought a lot more than in recent years.

 

[Paperbagofglory]

I love it when he sticks it to the Habs organization. Very much like the Boston tea party where the Bruins beat the Canadians in a blowout to decide the American revolution.

Yea, doing PBP remotely is incredibly difficult.

 

[RogerRoger]

Yeah, if there are two broadcast for every game, guys like Edwards are not an issue.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Reminds me of my brother shouting at the TV during the game lol!

 

[Bread and Circuses]

I think brickley is fantastic though .

Brickley is very good at pointing out the stuff that happens away from the puck that matters.
