Taylor Hall Acquired Respect for NESN Announcer During His Injury
Taylor Hall has been sidelined for the past 20 games due to a lower-body injury, and during his time off, he has reportedly developed a newfound admiration for one of the Bruins' broadcasters.
Observing Like the Fans
Similar to Boston Bruins fans, Hall mentioned that he watched some of his team's games on NESN with Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley while recovering from his injury. In a recent interview with Steve Buckley of The Athletic, the forward discussed his new appreciation he gained for one of the broadcasters.
''He does a really good job of telling you what just happened from the perspective of what the players on the ice saw. I'll watch games on TV sometimes and think to myself, �OK, that commentator was way off with what he just said.' I'm thinking, �No, that's not what happened.' Brick's always spot on when he explains what just happened.''
Brickley played in 385 games over his 11-year NHL career (177 games with Boston) and is well-acquainted with Hall's current situation. As Buckley highlighted, Brickley recovered from "10 major surgical procedures" during his career, and can now provide a unique perspective on recoveries, comebacks, and returning from injuries.
Hall, 31, recently skated in a full-contact practice sweater for the first time since sustaining his injury on February 25th against the Vancouver Canucks. The latest reports indicate that the former Hart Trophy winner could potentially return during Boston's remaining four regular-season games.
