I can understand announcing a game on the local cable channel, you naturally are biased toward the home team, but Jack Edwards is awfully one-sided when he calls a game.
Jack Edwards incites Bruins towards violence. When I hear of a Canadiens fan getting assaulted in Boston after a Bruins game, I point the finger directly at Jack Edwards. The assault is a direct result of Edwards cowardly attacks on the opponents.

Jack Edwards is to sports announcing what Fox News is to responsible journalism.

Edwards is a Bruins kiss ass along with Brickley.
Bring back Dale at least he had the balls to tell it like it is.

Bingo game, see your local tick, tack ( not tock dumby ) senior center Jack.

I wished something like a puck flying up and nailing Edwards in the head ala the organist in Slapshot. He’s a total homer without adequate knowledge of the game of hockey. That voice has got to go. He’s like the Marv Albert of NES> Please get rid of him, it’s obvious Brickley cannot tolerate him. Listen to Brick’s humoring laughs to Jack’s lame insights.

A complete idiot. He is the BRUINS announcer and should be biased for them ! Everytime he screams “He SCORES” when the Bruins are scored on I want to puke. It’s like he has never seen a goal before. Just is bad is him trying to create a catch phrase “Saved by (insert goalie name). Just shut up

The following is a true Jack Edwards in game moment (make sure to imagine his loud inflection, and over-exaggerated, announcer guy voice)…….

“THAT PUCK WAS BOUNCING AROUND LIKE A MEXICAN JUMPING BEAN ON SPEED!”

I can’t get it out of my head, it’s like a bad dream…. please make it stop.

I agree with Brian. Edwards sometimes gets a little to over-the-top with his positive outlook. However, anyone who “disapproves” because of his hockey “lingo” is someone who jumped on the bandwagon of this team after Game 6. Those are the type that have no clue about the game or they’d realize there is no other way to describe a soft pass, laid out perfectly over a defender’s stick, other than “saucer pass.” You guys aren’t Bruins fans (except when they are heading into a Game 6 or 7) and you clearly don’t know much about hockey. Edwards is a very good announcer and works well with Brickley, who himself is by far the best color man in the business.

Edwards’ passion for the sport of hockey is genuine. People who complain about his use of terminology during Bruins telecasts don’t understand the game; they should just stick to bouncy ball and any other sports they follow. And I don’t even root for the Bruins. Approve. Anyone who claims Dale Arnold was a better hockey announcer is on crack.
