TB's Paquette learns the hard way, don't start **** w Chara

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Listening to their commentary during the Brown-Krejci scrum... Sweet Jesus, spot picking. Where have I seen spot picking before? A scrub going after a talented player on another team... hmm.

Starts at about the 1:40 mark.

Thanks for posting this... The double standard of Bruins commentary is ridiculous. Nobody gives a s*** if Krejci lead the league in scoring in the playoffs TWICE, Jack. The game is getting chippy and I'm sorry, there's plenty of time for Krejci to just skate away instead of mucking it up with Brown. Same for Paquette with Chara. ...but of course, that's totally deserved.

"Writing checks" and "Spittin' chickets", eh, Jack... Brickley?

Whatever. You two are the absolute worst.

The rest of their commentary throughout the rest of the game was despicable.

Once he realizes that he might get back on the ice... you can hear Edwards salivating at the prospect of JT Brown getting his comeuppance.

He's the "hack", not Brown.

Are you sure it wasn't because he was on waivers?

No, it's most definitely waiverzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I don't really have a problem with Edwards' homerism. He's not a national announcer, there's no need for him to be unbiased.

I do, however, have a problem with how blatantly, and non ironically, he panders to the lowest common denominator (read: Bruins fans). It's like he knows all the worst things about sports fans, and targets those things in the dumbest possible way. Fans don't like refs? He'll ***** about the officiating endlessly. Goal waived off? That's precisely the one that changed the course of hockey. Don't like rats? They're ruining the game (except the ones employed by the Bruins). He specifically targets the dumbest, most ill formed, laziest, points of view, and then repeats them back at a higher volume.

In short, if you like Jack Edward's act, or agree with the things he says, you're stupid. And it's because you're stupid that he's saying those things.

It's still Mr. Rocket to you sir

Or you can call him Mr. The Rocket. Your choice really

LOL, you guys immediately reminded me of the time Archie Bunker got dressed in a suit to write a letter to Richard "E" Nixon and addressed it Dear Mr. President, Your Honor, Sir,

So, basically, there are a few regular posters here on LGWs that have helped make Jack Edward happen. :lol:

I'm not going to personally attack anyone. Or even allude to it.

What I will say is, there are plenty of dips***s holding the "Boston point of view", and it's because of people like them that Jack Edwards calls games the way he does. If fans held themselves, and their home announcing teams to a higher standard, then Jack Edwards would be in Southie, drinking himself silly after a long day in the garbage truck, bitchin' about the smarty pants' with their fancy math stats, and the decline of the enforcer, and the overall pussification of America.

Don't you mean, 'Murica.

Either way... Preach on, Brother Kip!

That's cause you lack Big Beastly Bruising Bad Bear Bruins Ballz.

Apparently you never heard Mickey Redmond in the late 80s/early 90s whenever Probie, Kocur or Mac dropped 'em.

If so, Redmond's adapted to today's game while Edwards still thinks Cam Neely's about to take the next shift.

Also, apparently you've never noticed that Ken Daniels doesn't call other team's players "hacks".

Hey, if you think Mickey and Jack Edwards are similar that's fine. I disagree.

I never said they were similar, but Mickey loved a good scrap, enthusiastically; and if you listen to him, he subtly mourns the lack of team toughness without coming right out and saying the team is soft.

Mickey has sorta been forced to. He calls Red Wings games; not a lot of hitting (at least on our part) or fighting. But when one does happen (rarely), what does he always say? "Attaboy! Not one person in their seat! They love it!", to paraphrase. He loves old time hockey as much as the rest of us neanderthals.

I agree that Redmond likes "old time hockey". If I had a dollar for everytime he bitched about hooking penalties and soft calls I'd be able to afford a new everything.

But none of this means that he's remotely in the same league as that Beantown Rat, Edwards.

You didn't have to. You made a direct comparison between the two. The fact that you're reneging on it now doesn't change that. You compared them, probably for arguments' sake. That's fine.

But he's the first one to talk about how bad checks need to be taken out of the game, the only time I hear him get riled up about a fight is when its warranted...

Maybe that's because were watching the weakling wings, and fights are so few and far between that its easier to recall his reactions to fights back when the team was stacked with guys who were fighters.

Most of them, if not all had a scoring touch.. and very rarely attacked a player unwarranted.

Plus back then the knowledge of concussions and the effects it has on people quality of life was basically nonexistent...

And now that its been brought to the forefront and the science behind it all is coming along you can hear him changing his stance on it.

Slowly but surely.

And its not because hes been forced to change because of the way the wings play the game, its because he's smart, and doesn't want to see these kids suffering permanent brain problems because of stupid shenanigans.

He says it time and time again how the games gotten so fast, the players have gotten so much bigger, stronger, and faster that its infinitely more dangerous..

I've never heard him say atta boy to a bad hit, whether it bw from behind, or a hit to the head.

He says the same stuff about our team when they do it.

Like with Jurcos hit last year, he didn't defend it, he called it how it was.

I was comparing a similar aspect of younger Mickey and JE, but I was more or less referencing your line about fans "holding their announcing team to a higher standard". Because 80's-90s Mickey, though less whiny, was as enthusiastic as JE about a big hit or scrap when he called games, and when someone went after Yzerman he would reference retaliation, and there usually was some. Obviously Redmond and Edwards are not very similar these days, because they call two very dissimilar teams. But Boston is actually not so different from Detroit's back-to-back teams of the 90s, probably even softer AND cleaner, but it's a different game.

Doesn't the fact that he's largely stopped being so horrible only lend credence to what I'm saying about having standards?

Edwards is a jackass. But if Boston fans didn't like idiotic jackasses, then Edwards would change or get fired.

I never said Mick condoned dirty plays of said attaboy to bad hits, just good scraps. Mick loves big clean hits as much as the next guy (excluding a few people here), but he does from time to time talk about giving another player a face-full of lumber, again, paraphrasing. So it's hard to say that he's got it all out of his system.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but again, they call two very dissimilar teams. Mick was never as big of an ******* as Edwards, but I can't say he'd be so different in terms of enthusiasm for the rough stuff if Detroit had a similar team to Boston, which they did throughout the 90's. He'd just have a less annoying voice.

You're misunderstanding what I have against Edwards. I don't care if he likes fighting. But it annoys me when Jack Edwards manipulates his fans' love of fighting, in order to justify Boston douchebaggery (like the Chara punch after a Chara penalty). I don't care if Boston dives. But I DO care if Jack Edwards pretends that Boston players are all the remains between hockey and European soccer, just because he knows that message will resonate. I don't like that Jack Edwards has simultaneously never played hockey, and knows EXACTLY what is ruining/vital to the game, which happens to coincide with whatever his fans already think is ruining/vital to the game.

He tells a bunch of idiots exactly what they want to hear. Which makes him dishonest, and more importantly, annoying. That's why he sucks. Because he's formulaic and fake.

Ok, if that's your biggest beef against him, then yeah, absolutely, he sucks, and he and Mick could not be further apart. Mick, while still having "homer" moments, is pretty unbiased. And while Mick may still get nostalgic about the old days, I think he understands the direction the league is going and he has, begrudgingly, accepted it. But I also know that he would probably get giddy like a schoolgirl if Holland traded for someone like Matt Martin.

I'd be excited if we had Matt Martin, he's a good role player. But I'd be irritated if Martin did something blatantly dirty and then Ken or Mickey acted like he was a paragon of virtue even though they knew better. Because that would be dumbing down the product, which I don't like.

Well, on this we can fully agree. Edwards and Julien both have a way of mitigating Bruins' players actions. Ken, Mickey and Mike don't usually sugarcoat a bad play.
