That was pretty awesome
It was.... except hearing Edwards nearly give himself a stroke he was so giddy. He's gotta be the worst homer commentator in the league - though to be fair, I haven't heard all of them. I'm "seeing history"?? Thank god for the reasoned color from Brickley. That guy is gold. Edwards is a clown.
I think Andy Brickley is outstanding. He's been a tad infected by Jack, but I'm often times embarrassed for him.
Jack Edwards is a running joke between my stepson and I. I love him. He's insane, and I'm convinced he drinks his way through the game (listen to his post-games with Jim Montgomery; they are hilarious as he slurs his words trying to get his questions out) but I love him. And in terms of pure hockey game calling, he's very good. "Homer" isn't the word, though. I don't know if he still does, but for a long time he lived in the next town over from me, and I'm dying to run into him at Dunkin or something. Andy is very good at hockey knowledge, but sometimes his sing-song delivery is boring, and he's as much of a homer as anyone ("David Pastrnak turns the puck over a lot, but all the great ones do". No, no they don't! That's why they are great, because they DON'T turn the puck over you moron!)
I also love Edwards' commercials; "The Bostonians" are hilarious (though it helps that the girl is cute). "GOOOAAAAAAL!" "GOOOAAAAAALLLLL!"
EDIT: It's also a well-established Boston practice for the announcers to BE big-time homers. The old school Celtic announcers were the worst.
