Description

I couldn't find the NBCSN broadcast so I had to watch the Bruins commentators and holy **** they are bad. They were complaining every single second of the game. How can Bruins fans stand him? Do you just watch the game on mute? Also the Refs were pretty bad. Lot of missed calls and unnecessary calls. Anyway, the Devils barely won but it was an chaotic game

Jack is easily the worst commentator in the league and it's not even close. Even bruins fans complain about how awful he is. Yes every team will have biased commentary, but no one even comes close to the level of jack edwards. Hey, it's working for the guy though, so many people just watch to hear what he says.

I mean i never said that...both of those calls were correct. i also said i can see how you would find it annoying. Im not really watching NESN to listen to Jack, its more to listen to the game from the Bruins perspective. I

I meant some Bruins fans. Not you

I'm glad someone else said something, they spent the entire second and third periods complaining about the officiating. A couple bad penalty calls is not the reason they lost the game, they had 4 powerplays and didn't score and New Jersey didn't get anything on the powerplay either. The fact that they can't score an even strength goal to save their lives is why they lost.

Your Laffy Jammies are showing:
Bowen's just as much a blow-hard as any other announcer (in sports) paid by the club they bark about.

Do you ever get bored of being completely wrong all the time?

At this point I've just tuned out the bad stuff and laugh at the funny stuff.

I agree. Boston didn't deserve to win. They couldn't score on a 4min pp against one of the worst penalty kill teams. Hopefully this is a wake up call for the Bruins

Never heard Edwards/Brickley say the Bruins lost because of the officiating.

The deserve to win o'meter of MoneyPuck will disagree with you.

The Bruins can be better but they were the better team in the second and third period. One goal game and it was redirected. Blackwood was great but couple unlucky bounces for the B's. They were the better team in pretty much everything except the most important thing, the scoreboard.

Yeah so complaining about it for 5 minutes straight seems justified...

that sounds like an exaggeration

Bruins were the better team the whole game imo. They just can't score which is concerning.

Why did he keep mentioning it in the 3rd period when it wasn't even relevant?
