When fans challenge an NHL player

- There's a reason why NHL players are on the ice and fans are in the stands. We'll talk about that and more as we break down the Boston Bruins vs the Tampa Bay Lightning on today's NHL hockey video!

Had to title it like this because any use of ‘finger’ or ‘bird’ got me instantly demonetized lol
That's pathetic really...
@@benderandownz flip someone off?
@@Thaumius being demonitized for even referring to it.
Okay, Jack Edwards may be a bit over the top, granted, but you also mentioned Sportsnet. When the Leafs play, the Toronto-biased Sportsnet game commentating are unbearable for me.
As a Bruins fan, I think that, at least Edwards' hyperbole is directed towards a great team, perennial contenders.
Hey Justin I have ESPN plus and it lets me pick which broadcast I want, maybe you can get that.
Fans can challenge players all they want. It's a bit of fun.
When I played competitive minor hockey, I admittedly would taunt the other team’s fans when they’d get mad at me for being chippy. One of the best ways to involve the crowd😂😂
I remember Garland eyed down a fan in Vancouver. It’s amazing. I love it when players are like that. I forget who it was who put the Instagram story of “love the chirps in my DMs but no homophobic stuff.”
As long as it’s good clean fun. I’m all for it.
@@SMA2343 That was also a Boston Bruin, A.J. Greer
I may be bias towards Edward because I am a bruins fan but I totally understand why fans of other teams find him obnoxious but personally I find him hilarious when he gets worked up
Nesn is also a regional channel, meaning most people who watch it are bruins fans. Now I do admit this was a complete overreaction but he is a fun announcer to listen to and probably my favorite.
Jack Edwards and the Colorado Avalanche guy are so biased, it’s so funny. I love watching them when they’re losing 😂
Absolutely he is amazing with his odd sayings
I'm a bruins fan and I can't stand him
Ima bruins fan...Hes one of the best play by play guys in the game but yea hes annoying as hell.
Jack Edwards may get worked up, but the man was right that was a good goal
Yeah, like I've posted here already. Jack Edwards sucks as an announcer, but he may have been right on this one.
He's usually right when he goes in rants, but opposing fan bases seem to hate that, because they always want the Bruins to be on the wrong side of every bad call, of course.
@@billsouza4457 may have been? Dude was right
The NHL's default for any 50/50 call involving the Lightning is to give Tampa the call. The league loves Cooper and he has big-time influence with the refs. If you're going to beat Tampa it's best to do so by multiple goals because you'll need that buffer.
i heard him say a player deserved to get hurt. He is a butt head.
As a Habs fan I love listening to Edwards since it’s just pure comedy “nominating Matt Cooke for the Masterton is about the equivalent of nominating Sirhan Sirhan as Prisoner of the Year”
He's a true wordsmith

@Jack Mannix This is a rare HabsXBruins W post and I appreciate it lol
I love Jack, Love his Neil Young lines he throws out.
I love Jack Edwards.
He brings a wild flair to the game.
hes annoying and a clown.
Yep! Love him
I think people are jealous cuz they can't get paid to act like an ass watching bruins games 😁
@@TheFoolintherainn legit. He is just horrible at commentating. He’s suppose to commentate the game, not be an annoying homer.
@@paulmartin6209 oh, Jack was hired to be an annoying "homer." Otherwise we go to espn, TNT - the wannabe jocks that wouldn't know how to lace up skates.
Jack makes it fun - look, we're talking about Jack Edwards, he's not talking about us!
A note for @Eck3459 - the Tampa defenseman ran Coyle into the post to dislodge the net doesn't mean "the Bruins player dislodged the net"
I love Jack Edward's. Yes he's biased, yes he's dramatic, that's what makes him fun. Brick is there to be the counter to Jack. Is he gimmicky? Absolutely. I just love the crazy things he says
yup these other guys are so boring
I'm into it too. I love the dynamic of having a white bread color guy in Jack. Have you heard the Lightning's radio broadcast? I learned last night that Esposito is their color and he is bonkers.
I like Jack but I completely understand why people don't.
@@joey_343Yes, exactly! Haha, he's so goofy, but that's why I always tune the NESN feed.
Jack & Brick make the broadcast much more enjoyable….love the chemistry
one of my fav things about krejci is that he'll still walk into the zone and take a slapshot
As a Bruins fan, Jack Edwards has been a great part of my hockey fandom for pretty much my entire life. He is an absolute homer, but people have to understand that he’s not on a national network, he’s on our local New England station that airs not NHL hockey games, but Bruins games specifically. His passion for the team and the blindness that sometimes causes is just so entertaining for us fans to watch. We know he’s being biased, we just don’t care, because we’re having fun.
I'm not a Bruins fan and quite honestly Jack Edwards gets on my nerves at times. However, he loves what he does for a living, he loves the team he's employed by, and he loves the city he works in and the people in it. I respect the hell out of him for that.
It wouldnt be the same without him its so fun to hear him match the energy and emotional were feeling while watching
I agree with that sentiment. I'm a devils fan and for years having Danyeko and Chico Resch as color guys and period intermission guys, they have plenty of bias being ex players here and passionate about their team. They have plenty of moments respecting other teams, but ultimately of course love their teams too more. They do the MSG feeds of the game here in Jersey and not like NBC or NHL network type stuff
Exactly, I don’t get why people get SO butthurt that he’s a homer. He works for NEW ENGLAND sports network for crying out loud haha. He certainly has some bad takes at times (the maroon comments were uncalled for) but we love him.
I'm totally on board with him being a homer. The guys I grew up watching, Fred Cusick and Derek Sanderson were first rate homers and it was great. My problem is when you grow up with a guy like Fred calling the games and then you go from him to Dale Arnold then Jack Edwards....it's a total let down. He's not a good pbp guy. Not many great pbp guys like Cusick but dang, there's plenty of pbp guys better than Edwards.
That snapshot article was actually written by a bruins writer, fluto shinzawa, which is kind of ironic. I also think on the dislodged net goal there is the argument that Bogosian pushed coyle into dislodging the net which should be considered the same way it would for a goalie interference call. Glad they got it right either way
I'm pretty sure Jack Edwards' specific point was that Coyle was pushed into the post by the TB defenseman.
@@ReidKimball And that everybody could see that the statement of the ref "the puck didn't cross the goal-line" had absolutely no place in reality.
Jack is hired by the Bruins. He is the announcer for NESN and thus he is a "Homer" for the team. I am old enough to remember Don Earl, Fred Qusick both of them with Johnny Pearson doing color commentary and don't forget the radio guy Bob Wilson. All in my book are Homer's for the Bruins.
In your book? LOL thatw as exactly what they were and that was the job. Now I am definitely wearing my Sanderson sweater to work tomorrow...
I remember those guys too and watching on WSBK TV 38
Fred and Johnny, classic Bruins homers, WSBK-TV 38 broadcast just about every game home and away from the Orr-Esposito Stanley Cup years through the 70's, 80's, into the 90's. The Turk Derek Sanderson eventually replaced Johnny and was a terrific and entertaining color man.
@@mikefitz6957 "well I'll tell ya Fred......Clarke takes the shot, it deflects off Orr, goes to Sanderson, who carries it in his pocket, he then used an Uzi to shoot Malarchuk, then fed Orr for the goal." Check the replay, Holy Crap Johnnie was right!!
@@bbb462cid Does your job not have a dress code?
I don't watch much hockey but I have been really enjoying these videos. It's an actually good highlights reel of last nights game with actually good commentary. These also make it easier for me to follow hockey and how a wide range of teams are doing and not just one or two. Keep up the great work!
If you don’t watch hockey, find the door. We don’t need/want you
@@joerepoman1 I do watch hockey but I don't watch as many games as I would like to hence why I enjoy these videos. I was just saying how I like these videos a lot more than TV highlights reels
@@ConnorDobbins gotch ya
i am a boston bruins fan and i love star wars andor so you are the perfect guy on youtube, please keep it up
As a bruins fan he’s a legend I love him😂
50 + year Bruins fan here ... He sucks...bad...As a real "hockey fan" I want to listen to an impartial announcer calling the game like Doc Emrick did. Growing up I listened to Fred Cusick for years. He was a homer too, but nothing compared to Edwards. Best play by play guy I've heard here in Boston is Dale Arnold. Sean McDonough is excellent too. My dad tells me Dan Kelly was the best, but he was before my time.
@@billsouza4457 I feel like having Jack call the games is like sitting at the bar watching a game with a passionate friend. I get why that’s not for everyone, but personally, I love it.
@@billsouza4457 50 years holy shit bill how old are you??
@@billsouza4457 I have also been a Bruins' fan for over 50 years and I feel Jack Edwards gets a bit ridiculous at times. We have definitely had better commentators in the past.
Right!
Jack Edwards absolutely gets unhinged at times but the reason I think he’s better than most other local commentators (a lot of teams have them) is because he will also call the other teams goals/plays with just as much passion, especially if it’s a close game. Not all the time, but much more often than other local commentators. People forget he’s paid to have a bias. Sometimes it seems like the national broadcasters are against the Bs and they’re paid to be unbiased but no one is ready for that conversation 😂🤷♂️
Even as a habs fan I think Edwards is fun. He's emotional and legit weird but I'm sure Bruins fans love him and I get why.
Much respect to your take. As a Bruins fan, stepping into the Hockey Cathedral in Montreal was one of the best moments of my hockey fandom, even if I’m programmed to hate the Habs. They put on a hell of a show up there.
I'm a Kings fan but I like the Bruins commentators because the other guy has such a strong Boston accent. Plus I think he is real good.
As a Bruins fan I f*cking love Jack Edwards. He's so biased but it's wicked funny to listen to.
Millions of New England Bruins fans love the combo of Jack Edward's and Andy Brickley. They help make winters go by quicker with their announcing the games.Thanks Jack and Brick!
I don't even hate Marchand and I'd definitely take him on my team 100% grit, skill, and the ultimate power to shit disturb.
who should have booted out years ago for the cowardly hits hes famous for .
@@jaerockchalk3216 lol shut up.
Jack Edwards fan. He knows a ton about the team the Bruins are playing against. Names the players and other interesting facts. Very entertaining!!
And he'll give credit to the opponent when due 95% of the time
@@counterfit5 this is true. It's sour grapes when other teams' fans refuse to recognize this. Legit complaints are fine.
I was at that Blackhawks / Avalanche game where Sullivan got heckled by the fan. My buddy and I were sitting in that end behind Patrick Roy when he went to clear the puck and put it over the glass. It hit that dude right in the head. Still to this day, one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. If you ever doubted Karma, that night gave you reason to believe.
Bogosian clearly knocked Coyle into the net knocking it off its moorings, pretty sure that was a big determining factor.
Biggest determining factor was the puck crossing the goal line. The refs initial call was that it didn't even cross the goal line, not that the net was dislodged before it crossed
As a bruins fan… I really like Edwards. When I’m watching the home broadcast, I want commentary from a home fan perspective. And with regards to that call, it certainly was egregious and needed to be overturned.
Its ok to have home commentators BUT he needs to see things with a open mind and NOT only with Bruins eyes... Thats why i dont like Edwards.
@@Gibbs-rq4yg Does he though? We’re talking about the Bruins broadcast that is paid for by subscribers who are probably 99% Bruins fans. If he were to do a gig on a National Broadcast, he should definitely check his bias at the door, but not on NESN.
@@adamwhite4858 Probably not but he is a shit commentator anywho
Im a bruins fan, I understand why people dislike Jack. But I find him so funny
The toughness some fans feel when they have a sheet of glass protecting them🤣
I always find this aspect of American fandom in sports to be so funny. You'd think the sport with the fanbase that most dishes it out to soccer about it being a pansy sport, wouldn't be full of pansy fans. But I guess that's what happens when one sport is a religion for most of the world while the other is merely seen as entertainment.
This is GREAT!
I was watching the game. Right after Pasta's goal I saw the exchange with a fan. It was over in 2 seconds and honestly I first noticed the stone faced woman beside the antagonist.
I barely caught sight of the man withdrawing his hand.
"Did anyone else see that?"
Sure it was petty and not really worthy of any attention but I kinda got a kick out of it.
AND NOW...
....Here is a video with highlights of the game but also an appropriate amount of time to comment on the silly fan vs player exchange. This may just be a meaningless clip that obviously had no impact on the game itself, but the decision by
this great RUclips channel to add it for the sake of entertainment - brilliant.
I've watched many of your videos. I've subscribed. I'm a fan.
Thank you
I like Jack only because he carries the exact attitude you do watching the game with friends. I moved out of the New England area a few years back so that counts extra in my mind
as a bruins fan i friggin love jack. its like watching the game with a buddy
he's even better than a buddy because when he's annoying as shit you can mute him
Edwards understands that he's in the entertainment business
You're my favorite RUclipsr! Great channel man, I watch these every day.
Wait… do you think the bruins player knocked the net off or did the contact from the lightning defenseman caused the bruins player to push the net off?
Jack announces on an only-New England station to a Bruins based audience, while the opposition has their own announcer.
As soon as we hear his voice, along with Andy, we know it is hockey time!
We love him here in Nw England.
I'm a bruins fan in Rhode Island and Jack Edwards even used to be the sports analyst for one of my local TV stations when I was little, and he still grates me sometimes, he gets real cringe sometimes. I like him at times tho because occasionally you see how passionate he really is about this team and sport and its nice to see the TV personalities show some genuine passion for your team or sport
I'm neither a Bruins fan or a fan of Jack Edwards. However, I love the fact that it's not just a "job" to him. He has an emotional connection to the team, the players, and Boston as a whole. He doesn't just call the action as a commentator, he calls it as a fan. And I have to admit that's not a bad thing.
Even if I do think he's extremely whiny and annoying at times, I would say the things I listed above are definitely redeeming qualities of his.
If you was from Boston and chose to not dig Jack for who he is and what he does then u ain’t from here. Yes I realize it sounds like Jack hit a fifth before the show, We can’t change Marchands past and Jacks emphatic commentary and we’d never have it any other way. If you Rep a spoked B no matter what the record Is I salute you. Go Bruins.
absolutely agreed, jack edwards is the man. go B’s!
What a stupid thing to say. If I was from Boston and hated him I certainly wouldn't ask you for permission and there would be just about nothing you could do about it. I hate a lot of things about mentality of my own city since it's as fucked up as any other. So what?
@@laughingbeast4481 what a stupid thing to say. If I was on RUclips, commenting on a video, I certainly wouldn’t ask your permission to say what I felt like saying and there would be just about nothing you could do about it. I hate a lot of things about the mentality of other people but mines just as fucked up as any other. So what?!? 😉
Good stuff Mista Eck. Followin the BlackHawks & the Bruins since i was a little kid. I don't do TV so your vids are a good way for me to follow whats happenin. Thanks.
I love Jack Edwards. I love his unapologetic bias and drama
First thing you have to get straight is on the Coyle goal the Ref said no goal because the puck never crossed the line. That's why Edwards said what he did. Secondly, Edwards is from New England and grew up a huge Bruins fan. So he rubs people the wrong way with some of his antics. I actually like the fact that he comes across as a fan who is not ashamed of how he comes across. If you have watched and listened to Edwards you would also realize he is a fan of hockey all together and does praise and point out how good other players are.
Thirdly, when Marchand scored it showed how close of a group this is. Everyone knew how close Bergeron was and the entire team celebrated like it was their milestone. And that shows how much respect and love the team has for Bergeron.
Also like to say that the Lightning and the fans were really great in showing their respect to Bergeron.
Goosebumps on the "Bergy, Bergy" chant!
Jack Edward's just has a weird and hilarious voice 😂
I was really confused on the stare down because I didn’t see the middle finger so that was well deserved. Personally, I don’t care about Jack Edwards like he doesn’t care about being professional, hearing his extremely biased remarks is another Tuesday. Marchand was getting ready to celebrate but had that instant realization on Bergeron getting his 1000th point, which like you said, shows how aware he
You can always listen to the other team's feed if it's triggering you. :shrug:
@@High_Caliber Didn’t say it triggered me. I get a few laughs out of him sometimes, like when he screamed "look at the score buddy!"
That was my point, I’m used to it. Made it pretty clear imo
@@grimes8857 You know he's paid to be the home town guy, right? Like literally it's his job. He's not an NHL employee, he works for NESN which is a half-step away from working for the Bruins.
@@bbb462cid no they don't get it - remember the world wide Web only works in your town.
I still can’t get over the fact that the Star Wars guy I’ve been watching since I was a kid also makes hockey content. Thank you Eck for being a true all rounder.
On the flip side of things, as a Bruins fan I had to listen to the Tampa radio broadcast. I think PHIL ESPOSITO can give Jack Edwards a run for his money, though he's color commentary so it's kinda apples and oranges. I had never heard their radio broadcast before and I was absolutely stunned by his grunting and groaning throughout the game.
1. Jack Edwards is one of the very few commentators that actually use an excited voice when either teams scores (most of the time), unlike the clowns around the league that you would barely know when the other team scores listening to them. He is one of the best color commentators in the league, bringing the game to life and many times making you laugh... unless you like the other team.
2. You’re a long time Bruins hater / Rangers fan. Just like every Rangers fan I know (born a raised on Long Island), no matter who the Bruins play, you cheer for the other team (just as my brother does as a Rangers fan). So I expect nothing less/better coming from your mouth.
Love the site Eck
A Bruin's fan here since Bobby Orr days. Congrats Bergy
Edwards is a 100% Homer. He does get quite excited. Brick (a former player and local kid) is honest to a fault in breaking things down (So & So missed his man, got beat like a rented mule, missed on a shot), after Edwards gets all excited, Brick gives the honest evaluation.
No problem with the guy giving Pasta the bird. Do you think Pasta is going to lose sleep over this guy? He paid a gob of money to sit in the 2nd row, so have at it buddy. There are great fans everywhere just as there are knuckleheads everywhere. I don't judge the TB fans on this guy just as I hope others judge the majority of fans on some drunk yahoo wearing a spoked B sweater.
Andy Brickely, local boy made good! Always fun to see a local kid on the Bs! I think we have three right now.
During the game (first 5 minutes of the second period) i texted this to my buddy:
Jack: "Ullmark makes a great safe!"
Brick: "Ullmark HAS to make a huge stop."
The 'enthusiastic kid' versus the 'voice of reason'.
Their commentaries combined are priceless!
As a Boston fan there’s absolutely no better commentator than Edwards. Tbh his hometown bias is what makes him so great.
Edwards is actually great play by play. I get that When he gets worked up he’s extremely bias but personally I find it fucking hilarious how outta pocket he gets lmao
will be watching the canadians game tonight! also curious to know if youve been keeping up with the fifa world cup, and if so, any thoughts? as always, great vid!
7 o'clock we will be watching here along the Lake
Edwards is a homer for sure but his one liners are probably some of the best you'll here from a play by play. If you are looking for entertainment he brings it
I'm a huge jack edwards fan and it's exactly why you say you don't like him lol. I love how biased he is and how he doesn't hide it
Jack Edwards hypes plays of other players and teams way more than most NHL announcers.
I love Jack Edwards, he’s the uncle that everybody hates but all the kids have a fun uncle to hang out on the holidays to keep the kids entertained at least.
agreed
Hahahaha , the uncle from Christmas vacation !
Funny, I just posted a reply about him being the drunk uncle. And they're fun until they fall into the christmas tree and pee in the potted plants. Or if you're a family member that has to listen to their bull$h!t every single holiday for decades. No, Jack is an embarrassment. No reason to polish that turd. Send him to rehab.
The only people who hate Edwards are trashcans and people who blindly hate the Bruins for no reason.
Jack Edwards is amazing ...hes y i watch the bruins...every1 i know loves him
Maybe I’m biased but Ken Daniels and Ken Kal are two of the best commentators in NHL history. Who didn’t love hearing Ken Kal’s high pitched “He shoots… he SCOOOOORESSSSSS!!!”
Ryan Graves clapper against CBJ got me so pumped up.
You’re the exact person i’m looking for😂 just got into hockey this season and watching my hometown Caps (dont even get me started on how I let one of the greatest players ever under my nose and not know) but its just too confusing on whats a good play/dumb play
Reminds me of a game I watched last season - Detroit at Seattle. Detroit just scored a goal and they grouped in front of an area to celebrate and the first thing I noticed was some old guy in the front flipping off the Detroit players. I hoped Detroit would clobber the Kraken at that point, but surprisingly, Seattle came back and won the game.
You’re nuts. You learn to love Jack, and he’s super super knowledgeable about the history
I like that Edwards brings energy to the broadcast and I think its something that hockey needs more of (as opposed to like Leah Hextall) but sometimes it can be over the top.
Great video being a Boston fan I agree with the Jack Edward's evaluation he's tough to listen to at times,that said I wish some commentators had half the passion. I want to point out he does at times give other players credit as well as teams.Jack I must say can be entertaining to say the least ,thanks for a great video cheers
I wanted to see you cover the "net-off" goal in the leafs game
And in this video you talk about a different "net-off" goal, and bring the story full-circle back to the leafs goal, and i just think that was a genius thing to do.
Rather than cash in on a quick video about the leafs goal, you're patient and create much better quality content because of it. I'm a huge Bruins/Leafs fan so this video was particular fun to watch! *unless this goal happened before the leafs one idk, i havnt been watching hockey as much lately so im all over the place
I was at a Red Wing's game on Easter of this year, seats were 2nd row to the left of the net. Had this one fan move up to an empty single seat in the first row. He was heckling the goalie and 2 players. We were all so annoyed with him and laughing with the two Lightening players who were chirping back at him. I have several clips of it.
I just miss Edwards saying two things
"Save by Thomas"
"A Johnny rocket"
😃😃
True story. 70s leafs flyers
Dad and my uncle challenged Schultz after the game. Took 4 people to keep him from them. If they hadn't I probably would not be here.
You were mad at Jack Edwards for the net being dislodged, but he was actually right!
Pasta probably winked at the guy lol
As a New Englander and a Bruins fan, i agree with everything youve said. Including your take on Jack. I used to be a steadfast fan of his but ive started to notice things that make me eyeroll or just say "dude are you for real?" Or "did he really just say that?" Jack will be the next Don Cherry. Although hoplefully not as long lasting
I love Jack to counter all the hatred the Bruins get from the Habs, Leafs and Canucks media. Hate it when I don’t get the Bruins feed.
Jack Edwards is the GOAT. I love how he consistently pointed out the NHL's bullshit the entire game. Including a very subtle comparison of a linesman to Tim Peel in that he "wanted to get back at Coyle" for that goal with a slashing penalty that clearly wasn't (However they gave Boston a PP for the same thing earlier in the game so it could have been a makeup call). And that the Tampa high stick no goal issue could be easily remedied by having cameras super impose a line like a car's backup camera does. "We suggested this exact thing to the NHL 5 years ago and got crickets..."
I would rather watch the game on mute then listen to jack edwards lol
I can totally see why Jack gets all the hate, but as a homer myself his histrionics are quite entertaining 😅
Jack is one of the best commentators in the league
Edwards calls the game the way he sees it no sugar coating with him he's good for the sport and for the Bruins very colorful
I entirely disagree on the Jack Edwards take he is obviously very biased but he’s also very honest and he’s wildly entertaining to listen to
"he put some Chinese mustard on that shot" - Jack Edwards
lol, Jack Edwards man...he's gotta be the hockey equivalent of Hawk Harrelson, minus the cooterisms.
The dude flipping off Pasta is such a great ambassador for douchebaggery.
Yeah who had the Bruins or the Devils being this good? Gotta love the parity in the NHL.
Being a Bruins fan myself, I find it that Jack Edwards is a great commentator for the Boston Bruins but I see how others can find him annoying.
I love Jack Edwards, Living south of Boston all my life!
I love watching Mick Redmond for the wings. I don't watch a lot of hockey anymore because I don't have time, but he always seems like he just loves the game and doesn't lean in too hard on one team or the other. Just curious, who are some of the better color commentary guys out there?
I know it's your opinion but I love Jack Edwards. He called a player at their last game before tampa a 6'3 refrigerator
I love Jack for the same reasons I enjoy B Movies...
I remember when Sundin celebrated it twice in one game!
Jack Edwards loves the game of puck.
As a Bruins fan I find Edward's funny. Just gotta listen for the ice clinking in the glass
jack is a gem you bite your tongue! he is super weird and sometimes obnoxious but the man does his homework and andy brickley is awesome
Not many people know this but Jack Edwards actually used to work for ESPN
As a buffalo fan Jack edwards is nothing compared to the dying donkey we’ve had to listen to for the pet 20 years I still can’t get “lalalalalalalallalalalallaaafomtaine” gives me nightmares
Hockey is my favorite sport to watch but it has the driest commentators around except for Jack. Jack is always entertaining and has a great voice for the game. Calling him a bonehead gets under my skin a bit.
I agree with your take on that Boston commentator!
2:48 he wasn’t even giving him the finger until he was already skating right to the boards in his spot. The finger was just a reaction to pasta celebrating there not like pasta saw him and went up to him lol
He didn’t put it up when he saw Pasternak at him, he didn’t even pull it out until Pasternak looked at him.
I’m most surprised with the 0 in OTL. Seems like they usually one of the leaders in that stat.
Jack Edwards is the best guy in hockey
I’m a B’s fan and I usually mute the broadcast and listen to the radio because the Bruins radio guys are AWESOME, but I didn’t this time and I’m kinda glad. Edwards is usually too over the top for me, but this time it was so over the top I just burst out laughing.
I am a Bruins FAN (65) and I agree about Jack.
Jack is over the top and very biased and I can understand why someone would hate him. I find him so entertaining.
For me the only way to really appreciate Jack is to take what he says as satire/for entertainment. I used to hate him because I interpreted his commentary in a literal way, but as time went on I recognized that it would be comedic if I were interpreting what he said as fiction and now I view it in a different light.
I never liked Edwards when he was at ESPN, but he's kind of grown on me. I swear to God, he'd put on a Bruins jersey and go down there and mix it up on the ice if they would let him. This has to be his dream job.
