GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 I can't believe this idiot is actually an NHL announcer. I realize teams often hire homer announcers for play by play, however, Edwards undermines the purpose of play by play announcing. It's one thing to overhype players and complain about the refs, but it's another thing to not call fights the way they happened. A disgrace to his profession. This was from earlier tonight. Great fight, btw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCi2Z1AUKuM I could compile a list of similar Edwards BS over the years. Here's another one I like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJXs5AaWIbY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 Assaulting his knuckles with his nose Huh His obsession with Lucic is disturbing. I wonder what he'd say if Lucic got KO'd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylee 727 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 Yep, Edwards is a blowhard joke of a PBP guy. Thank God we have Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond. They aren't perfect but they're far better than Edwards and others of his order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 This is not news, unfortunately, and I feel sorry for those of you who may have to listen to the Boston feed. He is by far the worst or worst next to Bob Errey and the other Penguins announcer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 Jack Edwards has always been an over-the-top moron; no news there. Reminds me of "Another right by ROY! Another right by ROY! Uppercut! Uppercut! Bicycle kick by ROY! Piledriver! Another right by ROY! ROY summons strength from his ancestors for a fireball! Finish him! Fatality!.... Osgood with the takedown" 2 Internet.Unknown and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opie 308 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 The thing that makes Edwards even worse than he already is, is the fact that he replaced Dale Arnold. Think Doc Emmerick with less catch phrases. The guy did an amazing job calling the game, after the whole NHL leaving ESPN fiasco the B's decided to grab Edwards from the ESPN ranks and get rid of Arnold. I guess the wanted more emotion less intelligence in the booth. I do think Brick does a real good job as the color guy though! Apparently they have a thing for announcers with First names for Last names! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted September 24, 2013 Meh, I actually kind of like him. He has a few facepalm worthy moments, but for the most part he calls the game pretty fairly and gets just as excited when the opposing team scores as when the Bruins do.
