Jack Edwards call on Oshie

[Xirik]

This cat can't spell yet has the audacity to say other people are uneducated. My man, you're so off base here.

 

[txpd]

Jack Edwards is awesome. The hate from non Boston fans kind of proves the point. That said, his call on the Oshie goal last night was killer.

 

[Fisticuffer]

It’s Jack.
Just be thankful he doesn’t call your teams games.

 

[Senor Catface]

It's already 7 pages deep, but I'm curious how Bruins feel about him in general. Mixed bag? Mostly love? Mostly hate?

 

[Oddbob]

He was trash before this, and trash after! Worst commentator in the history of sports!

 

[Moose Head]

He can be nails on the chalkboard at times but there is talent there. IMO, He missed his true calling, the WWE.

 

[Power Surge]

Sounds like just the type of personality ESPN will be looking to hire.

Please no.

 

[Power Surge]

I hope not...I enjoy his banter...Cancel culture these days leaves far too many dry/boring stiffs behind the mic.

nah, keep him he is entertaining and fun. Plus cancel culture is a stain on the planet.

Jack Edwards isn't culture nor is he "a culture"

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Jack's job isn't to make you feel good. It's to be honest and give a telling of the game in real time. Something he does.

BULLSHIT! Hahaha

I don't mind Bruins fans liking Edwards, but there's no way in hell anyone can describe what he does as "honest". He says what Bruins fans want to hear, plain and simple.

If it works for them, cool. But it ain't honest.

You’ve determined this how?

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

I feel bad for Bruins fans. They were raised by his commentary and it obviously shows.

In Canada, I wrote to SportsNet to stop using the NESN Feed for their out-of-market games. If they keep Edwards on their feed, then they are responsable of anything he says

 

[Neil Racki]

Its the Bruins feed .... let the guy say whatever he wants, I dont hear it unless it replays online.
I do like listening to some of his calls for homer outrage. Its funny. Let the other regionl guys be robots.
If I was a bruins fan .. might be hard to listen to game after game, year after year.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Every single team has their own regional cheerleader in the broadcast booth.

Edwards, Mishkin, Jeanneret, Bowen, the list goes on.

Edwards just seems prone to whiny outbursts, more so than the rest, so he gets the spotlight more often.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Edwards is like that embarrassing uncle you have that makes you cringe anytime he opens his mouth in public. Except somehow he gets handsomely rewarded for it.

 

[Dicky113]

Edwards is a clown. I don't know how even Boston fans can stomach that much homerism.

We can’t.

 

[Yeti of the Flow]

We can’t.

We can.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Edwards is the kind of person who would be the first man thrown overboard during a mutiny.

 

[rocketdan9]

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

Exactly... mild compared to...

-Opponents score: he scores zzz
-Sabres score: result below....

 

[FMichael]

I'm also guilty of liking Rick Jeanneret.

You do realize that your TV remote has a mute button.

It’s an international board. Maybe English isn’t his/her first language.

I’m going to just give that poster the benefit of the doubt.

 

[RickChartraw]

jack edwards is simply a tool

 

[Anisimovs AK]

Then Edward’s was right they shouldn’t have blown the play dead

Except for the fact that they blow plays dead for head injuries (specifically if the player is bleeding) regardless of possession. Besides for Zach Werenski in 2017 against the Penguins

 

[Anisimovs AK]

except in follow throughs?

Good thing it wasnt a shot follow through then, eh?
