I think he's been on TV before right?

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Haven’t heard too much of him, but the little bit I have heard, I liked his call.

A lot of people complaining about his goal call. He seems to have two. There’s one that is a high pitched “they scoooooooooore” and then there’s the louder, more gutteral “THEY SCORE”. I’d prefer the latter.

Yes, this is very serious business.

I prefer neither. But he's better than the buffoon we had before.

 

[Rebels57]

Congrats to Bruins fans and honestly, all hockey fans, for not having to listen to Edwards anymore. I wish him well with his health, but he was the absolute worst.

 

[JPT]

I'm sure going to miss the performative patriotism after a game against Montreal that Edwards could bring.

That's bad enough, but at least the Bruins don't officially liken their team to soldiers in a famous WWI poem, even writing that poem on the locker room wall and reenacting said poem before playoff games.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

He’s got tiny shoes to fill.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I liked Judd when he was here in Chicago.
I'm sure he'll do well as the TV guy in Boston.
Congrats to him.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's a perfectly competent play by play guy. He'll do well Judd languished in the AHL too long.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Safe pick. No issues with it.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I feel bad for him in some ways because coming right after Jack will make people always compare him to Jack and that's an unfair comparison. An elephant couldn't fit in the shoes that Jack left and that's okay.

I'm optimistic about him. I like the snippets I've heard from him.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Congrats to Bruins fans, anything is better than Jack.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Is he going to watch the games while he calls them or just free style like Jack?

He's got the easiest job in broadcasting. Edwards sucks regardless of if you are a Bruins fan. He was bottom of the barrel type garbage at his job

jack was a sack (of shit)

 

[Sol]

When will these announcers start moaning in the mic to add some more sizzle to the sport

[BruinsFan37]

Been listening to Sirott for years on 98.5. He has a similar voice to Jack (before he started slurring his words) so the transition shouldn't be too bad. Never been a fan of his "goallll" calls though.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Can’t be worse than Edwards

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

Some of Jack’s calls made him sound like a real POS. I’m sure he’ll be easy to replace.

No, Edwards only compared the B's beating the MONTREAL Canadiens, who are from QUEBEC, to the American colonials beating the British and good'ol King George in the American Revolutionary War.

Both are frigging stupid.
