Is this scrub finally getting called out by others in the media now? My god hes embarrassing

 

[Peasy]

Only a matter of time before he says something so stupid it'll cost him his job (just like it did with Don Cherry). Doubt this is the comment though.

Everyone knows hes a clown of a commentator.

 

[Arpeggio]

I have to say, this doesn't seem that bad lol. I'm sure Pat will make it through this.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

He seemed so normal back in the day on ESPN but he's a lunatic on NESN.

 

[beedee]

Jackass Edwards.

 

[Breakers]

I love how the play has gone up and down the ice like 5x, and hasn’t addressed a single moment in the game.

He is just obsessed with trying to get this joke out.

 

[Ceremony]

40 seconds of play, no description of anything happening on the ice.

 

[Forge]

Listening to that, I'll be honest, I had the same thought as Frank. I really thought Jack sounded drunk.

 

[TheNumber4]

Sounded like nothing but Pat Maroon is a big boy jokes and he ends it with appreciation for his Cups. Complete nothing burger. Outrage culture these days is the bigger controversy.

I am by no means a Jack Edwards fan, but if this actually offends you then you are soft as baby poo

There's a thread on the Bruins board about how off Jack has been this year (and actually for the past few season).

I don't think he's drinking on the job but something is definitely off. He's 65, I think his age has caught up to him.

 

[SoupNazi]

Does he have something against calling the game? I don't hear any game commentary in there.

 

[HBK27]

I don't like Jack Edwards, but these are nothing comments.

He was trying to make a joke and it fell flat.

More cringe is Seravalli accussing him of "fat shaming" an NHL player...ugh. How will Maroon ever recover?

Dude is a big time homer, he’s probably just drunk off all the Bruins wins.

 

[Wierzbowski426]

This guy is a complete tool. Not sure how B's fans can stand him tbh.

 

[PB37]

Pretty soft to get offended by a light hearted comment that's followed up by praise for the same individual for being a winner.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I really don't care about the comments I am sure Maroon gets called fat on a nightly basis...his 3 cup rings help I would assume. Edwards does sound....off there though.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Won't somebody think of the multimillionaire professional athlete???

 

[WhatTheDuck]

He's an embarrassment to his profession and I hope other media members continue to call him out for it more often moving forward.

He sounds like a drunken idiot fan in a bar. Not even doing his job, there is live play going on, upon which he's paid to commentate.

I'm sure Maroon won't really give a crap about the supposed "fat shaming" and I don't care about that either. This is supposed to be a performance based business though, Edwards is terrible at his job.

 

[Mosby]

He's said far stupider shit. This was nothing.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I'm sure Pat has heard and given out worse chirps than this.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Dude is a big time homer, he’s probably just drunk off all the Bruins wins.

No we think he’s drunk off schnapps. In all honesty he does get a bit slurry at times.

 

[TheNumber4]

I think I’ll be more of a Jack Edwards fan after this “controversy”. And less of a Frank Serravelli fan.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

For years, Jack Edwards has been the worst play-by-play announcer in all of hockey. That has nothing to do with last night's comments.
