That’s all I’m saying. I think all the thumbs downs on my comment are from Blinded Bruins fans that have no clue what I’m talking about because they see with the same eyes as Edwards. :P

Im a Bruins fan and I have always hated him. I have no problem with the home announcer giving an edge to his team, but Edwards is over the top.

I don’t know if he got some sense knocked into him or tweaked something and dialed it back to compensate but something changed. I also noted that once he stopped trying to hit everything wearing Bruins colors he started to play better.

Its too bad because he has the passion and excitement to up the interest factor of a game. But his Bruins-blindedness leaves him announcing things don’t happen.

It’s at its worst when a fight breaks out
“Oh, Marchand is pounding him!” Marchand swinging and missing….
“Marchand blocks!” … with his head…
On and on…

I gave up on him a long time ago.

The third faired better for them but Boston really outplayed them.

They keep that up and it will be 2 in a row. The offense will come along on it’s own. They just have to be “good enough.”

Jack must go. I’m this close to turning NESN’s sound down & listening to Goucher & Beerzie moving forward. Never realized how physical Ovechkin’s game was until tonight. This looks like it’s going 7 games.
