Jack Edwards call on Oshie

[max21]

Remember when Chara was fighting someone on Tampa I think it was Coburn? He said something along the lines Chara is going to take him to the afterlife? He’s comically bad

I can’t stand Jack edwards as I have to listen to him night in and night out, but you set this up purposely deleting key pieces that remove all context. They were bitching about blowing the play dead when the bruins had an odd man rush, then didn’t even call a penalty. The high stick came from a bruins player falling on his ass after checked from behind, and wasn’t even facing oshie!

So you are saying it wasn’t a high sticking penalty?

 

[sufferer]

I dislike Edwards but I feel like he's a necessary evil.

He may call for the injury of players, but at least hes entertaining!

 

[sufferer]

He's just a homer fan caught up in the emotion. It isn't that deep.

All in all this a pretty misleading crap thread posted by hf boards leader in crap threads.

The rule says you are responsible for your stick at all times

For someone who can't stand Jack Edwards, you sound an awful lot like Jack Edwards.

NHL refereering is indecipherable, for sure. Nobody can figure it out. Stuff like this is happening every game, it seems. That is one issue. Edwards being a total tool is another issue.

If that happened to the fans of any team not from boston, fans will think, "huh, dodged a bullet on the double minor but we lost the odd-man rush. oh well, probably worked out in our favor." Why folks from boston with all their city's championship successes in recent decades still have that damn chip on their shoulders is beyond me.

its not that deep for me either I just dont like em

 

[ViD]

Well, good thing I never watch Bruins games

 

[tarheelhockey]

Maybe it’s just me, but in recent years Edwards seems to be noticeably slipping from “passionate fan with an unapologetic bias” toward something more like “whiny shit-stirrer who always has some grievance to bitch about”.

 

[A1LeafNation]

At this point you have to laugh at his stupidity. He has to talk down to his audience I suppose...so there's that.

 

[Svechhammer]

I mean its not like the guy melted down over the sight of an opposing player wearing his own number playing for his own team in a retro jersey.

Jack Edwards ≠ Bruins Fans, and not all Bruins fans like Jack Edwards. I seriously think 50% of the hate on here for Bruins fans is people who attribute everything Jack Edwards says to the whole fan base. It's infuriating.

except in follow throughs?

Meh. Like the Leafs your more vocal fans are unbareable, they also tend to defend the joke that is Jack Edwards. Unfortunately the rest of the fan base gets looped in with the loud mouuth morons, happens to all fanbases and the more you have the worse it looks.

Exactly. All fanbases should understand this phenomenon, as all are guilty of it, but alas this is the internet.

I just make liberal use of the ignore function. It's clear when people don't want to have honest discussion, and I have no time for people like that.

 

[Adrianopolous]

Every fan would react the same way if you hear a whistle on an odd man rush. It wasn't even a penalty called against the Bruins so why did they blow the play dead?

 

[Unspecified]

If anyone else needs to be Don Cherry'd it's this POS.

 

[Sheppy]

The ultimate heel.

 

[bobc222]

INB4 Bruins fans come out of the woodwork to deify Edwards and Marchand.

"if he was on your team or your commentator, you would love him"

 

[pman25]

i think if you see blood its probably good and fair for refs to call the play dead

Looked very minor. Oshie certainly had the ability to skate off but made the smart play of staying one the ice to get a call.

Lol.

You mean some jabroni in the stands a few beers deep? Yeah, I'm sure they would.

Edwards its a broadcaster and professional. The guy's an insufferable tool

It did, but those kinds of things can always be deceiving, depth of cut etc can be hard to judge, better to stay on the safe side. I agree he made the smart play.
