Back to the Jack Well: Edwards’ Delivers the Goods in Call of Great Bruins-Hawks Game
November 13, 2008 1 Comment
Well, Jack Edwards certainly hasn’t lost his sense of humor, nor his passion for the game. His call of last night’s emotional Chicago-Boston thrill ride (Complete with the retiring of the #3 for Keith Magnunson and Pierre Pilotte) was terrific. A few of my favorite, confusing lines:
-“Chara decked him like a dummy at a kid’s playground.”
-After Patrick Kane scores a goal: “Save the razor, the streak continues”.
-His enthusiasm after Khabibulin makes a high save in OT.
We’ve decided that, while sometimes he may go overboard, Jack Edwards is okay with us. All we’re saying is, we won’t block you from the site if you vote for him in the Tournament of Announcers.
I can’t fucking stand Jack Edwards. I think he uses the word “dangle” an average of 143 times per period! I’d like to take my dog, and dangle his nuts in Jacks mouth!
I wish Fred Cussick wasn’t 100 years old and senile, because he was the absolute greatest hockey announcer in history. Great enthusiasm, excellent voice, tremendous passion…hell, I’d rather have Dave Shea back, and he was just mediocre.
