The Bruins jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead last night, only to see Montreal tie things up and send the game to overtime, tied at 3. Nathan Horton, who had been one of the Bruins big offseason acquisitions last year did what the Bruins got him to do, putting the puck in the net 5:43 into overtime, to give the Bruins a 4-3 win which clinched the series, and saved the jobs of many of the Bruins – at least for the moment.

  1. Let me just say that Jack Edwards is an embarrassment. The Bruins just win a Game 7 and his summation begins ' While I was driving….I was thinking…etc'. So then he launches into his 'ragtag bunch of patriots' shtick…awful. I think he may be clinically unbalanced, and NESN should take a hard look at replacing him with someone a little more professional.

    1. Jack's schtick is either hilarious or irritating, depending on your tolerance for pomposity. I think he's unintentionally a master of comedy.

    2. Didn't he make a reference to "patriots" at Lexington and Concord after the B's finished off their sweep of the Canadiens in the 2009 playoffs, too? He needs a new schtick. And he needs to switch to de-caff.

    3. Well, when you run a 4th rate franchise like the Bruins, then you get 4th rate announcers like Edwards.

  2. Geez, how much longer can we stick with this Varitek guy? The Sox are 0-2 this week when he's started, the staff ERA has gone from below 1 last week to a whole 4.50 this week, and he's having problems catching Bard….. They've absolutely got to trade him to Toronto for that JP Arranciba Sanchez-Vicario guy NOW.

  3. Can a real hockey fan explain to me (I only pay attention during playoffs) why Jack and every other television play by play guy for hockey explain the action as if they are announcing it on radio? I know that Chara passed it over the blue line to Ryder, I just saw it on T.V., why are you telling me this?

    1. It's probably how they were taught how to do it by someone else…or it's an industry standard thing (everyone else is doing it so I should too).

  4. Jack should weigh in on far meatier topics than mere hockey games. He had an interesting perspective on things.

    Dale Arnold must hyperventilate when he listens to him.

    Did you know that Prince William and Kate Middleton followed hockey? I didn't.

  5. Edwards' 'rant' after the game is getting widespread coverage, of the humiliating sort. He spends too much of what intelligence he has trying to figure out what clever phrases and words he'll use, usually at the expense of his play-by-play. That's like a woman who puts makeup on while driving down the highway: STICK TO YOUR JOB!!!

  6. Jack Edwards reinforces my position that hockey fans, like NASCAR and WWE fans are brain dead simpletons.
