First time watching a Bruins game this year and Jack Edwards was struggling to keep up with the play, slurring words etc. If it’s a health issue it’s pretty wild that they’re still letting him call games because that was tough to listen to

I live in the Boston RSN area and have to catch a few Bruins games on NESN when watching my own team due to blackouts, and this has been an issue for a couple of years now. Unfortunate for the guy if it's gotten worse lately; wouldn't want to wish ill on him as a person even though he is a partisan hack of an announcer.

Edwards had a stroke or something I think. Some kind of health issue for sure.

Edwards always had difficulty pronouncing names, but the slurring and slower, deliberate speaking pace he sometimes falls into came about so suddenly it has to be something medical.

Whatever it is, it hasn't been addressed. Not even to like a no comment degree, nobody in the org has mentioned it at all.

It'd have to be pretty early in the season. There's some Bourque/Coffey years where they were both pretty high scoring. Unless I missed someone, the most points for a second highest scoring defenceman was Bourque with 96 in 83-84 to Coffey's 126. But unless Wayne twisted an ankle on opening night or something, Coffey was probably never the highest scoring on his team even for a day.
It doesn't help that when he left Edmonton....he went to Pittsburgh, who had the only player on Wayne's level, so he was still gonna be #2

Seems like maybe they're trying to keep him around as long as possible because its gonna suck real bad for him if he's forced to retire due to whatever it is. IDK if that's a kindness or not cause its really obvious something is up and putting it on display every game feels bad.

I was in the shower during the third period, did the Sabres lose?

But seriously, they haven’t been able to pull off a comeback like that yet this year. Girgensens got injured and didn’t come back for the third and suddenly the Sabres offense took off. Coincidence? Idk he’s been awful, and this is coming from someone who has defended him for years. The injuries are hopefully going to force the Sabres to call up someone good???

Edit: UPL is very good, he had another great game. Both Penguins goals came on ridiculous turnovers directly in front of the net. How many great performances does he have to have before they will declare him #1?

The Bunch of Jerks thing was cool when they were a long-suffering franchise finally finding success, but at this point they're good and it's not that amusing anymore. Fun place to watch a game though.

I'm surprised it's taken the Canes system of "have six #2 defensemen, no offense, and no goalies" to collapse on itself

I feel like they have kept acquiring no defense offensive defensemen because “we need to replace Hamilton and need more offense and our defensive structure is so good we can shelter them!” Except now it’s not as good as it was and those guys get exposed whenever Carolina is forced to defend

But also maybe just making poo poo up because gently caress the hurricanes

E: why did they let Hamilton walk anyways? He’s not my favorite #1 type but he can actually play defense (as long as it’s not too physical) and put up lots of points
