Jack Edwards truly concerned supporters in yesterday's Bruins game
Veteran NESN announcer Jack Edwards caused alarm and frustration yet again. On Thursday night, while commentating on the Boston Bruins vs. Colorado Avalanche game, Edwards became a controversial topic on social media for all the wrong reasons. Observers noted his slurred speech and struggles with pronouncing Avs goalie Alexandar Georgiev's name. Additionally, his frequent long pauses and seeming disorientation in commentary caught attention.
Many viewers criticized his performance, finding it difficult to follow the NESN broadcast due to his apparent inability to effectively narrate the game, with some speculating that he might have been intoxicated. However, a number of fans expressed sincere worry about his well-being, suspecting a serious health issue might be at play.
Debate arose among the audience, with some questioning whether Edwards might be suffering from a health condition, while others harshly speculated if there could be a less competent hockey game commentator on TV than the beleaguered Bruins announcer.
These are some remarks that rapidly gained popularity together with Edwards' name on Thursday night:
I am a fan of Edwards, but I am becoming concerned about the current state of the Bruins' announcer, especially this season. There must be an underlying issue, as anxiety heightened during the holiday period when Edwards took a break and Alex Faust filled in for a few games.
Yet, Edwards has addressed this himself, stating that he was merely taking a break. He clarified on X, previously known as Twitter, that he is in fine health and was simply enjoying his first short vacation in 17 years.
