The Bruins long-time commentator Jack Edwards stepped down from his role at the end of the season due to health reasons.
According to reports, the Bruins are still in the process of finding his replacement but the search has been narrowed down 6 options which include Tom Caron and Judd Sirott.
"I'm told approximately six potential candidates to succeed the retired Jack Edwards have auditioned with color analyst Andy Brickley.
They include a couple of candidates with NHL broadcasting experience outside the market, as well as Judd Sirott, who has called Bruins games on 98.5 The Sports Hub since the 2017-18 season, and longtime NESN host and play-by-play voice Tom Caron, who I noted a couple weeks back has extensive game-calling experience even though he might be best known to Boston sports fans for his work as a Red Sox studio anchor.
The Bruins will have some say in the hire."

While the Bruins will surely end up finding a good replacement, it will be weird for the fans who has been listen to Edwards commentate on Bruins games since 2005.
