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.
He then continued by saying:

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

I wish Boston fans could see Jack Edwards through the eyes of everybody else for 10 seconds� taylor ham stan (@taylorhamstan) November 30, 2022
How anybody still respects him is beyond me.� chris bennett (@ChrisBennett644) November 30, 2022
Jack Edwards is awful. Worst play-by-play guy in the NHL. No clue how Bruin fans can watch games all season with his terrible call� dave3086 (@dave3086L) November 30, 2022
