Something Off With Jack Edwards in His Return to Play By Play

Jack Edwards missed the first Bruins pre-season game, which had fans wondering if his replacement Alex Faust would be a long-term replacement for the Bruins announcing booth. Edwards was able to make his return for last night's pre-season game, however, fans weren't happy with his performance.

JACK IS SO BACK

Fans were quick to criticize Edwards' ability to call the play. Some speculated that there could be something wrong with his health, explaining his absence from the first game.

Seriously what's going on with Jack Edwards? I almost feel bad that Bruins fans are going to have to listen to this all year. He's either silent or seconds behind and barely saying anything. Yikes.

Someone honestly needs to check on Jack Edwards. #NHLBruins #NESN
