REPORT: Bruins Jack Edwards UNDER-FIRE after comments last night - including from NHL Insider
The Boston Bruins broadcaster Jack Edwards has definitely made a reputation for himself as making some controversial calls during games.
Last night when the Boston Bruins took on the Tampa Bay Lightning, he was talking about the three-time stanley cup champion Pat Maroon, and decided to comment on his weight.
Listed at 238 pounds. That was Day One of training camp and I have got a feeling he's had a few more pizzas before then and now.
He then continued by saying:
Inadvertent fasting for Pat Maroon is like going four hours without a meal, But hey three Cups in a row who can argue with his formula?
Pat Maroon, fully minding his own business

This has sparked outrage from fans and even an NHL Insider:
A blowhard broadcaster fat-shaming a professional athlete and three-time Stanley Cup champion. @patmaroon doesn't deserve that. No one does.
Go home, Jack. You actually sound drunk. https://t.co/EDTQHpD1TT� Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) November 30, 2022
Now i may not be the biggest fan of Fat Pat....but goddammit Jack Edwards is a f-cking jackass and is the sole reason why the Boston Bruins have the worst local broadcast in the National Hockey League. What a disgrace. He was terrible doing soccer at ESPN...he's terrible at NESN https://t.co/BN5W4lbDdR� Roy Bellamy (@roybelly) November 30, 2022
