Incase you somehow missed it, on Tuesday night when the Boston Bruins were playing the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Boston Bruins commentator, Jack Edwards who already has a reputation on making some controversial comments, stuck his foot in his mouth again and commented on Pat Maroon's body.

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. 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 responded to this in the best way possible and turned it into a charitable thing and has raised over $50,000 for a charity after these comments.

Today Fluto Shinzawa shared a story that has some comments from Jack Edwards regarding the situation:

I am sensitive to the subject of body image and I didn't intend to offend anyone. In the course of a two-and-a-half hour broadcast, it was a light-hearted attempt to point out that Pat Maroon, who I also regularly praise for his camaraderie with teammates through the years, uses his size to be a difficult competitor. He's an effective player with three Stanley Cup rings - something I also made it a point to say Tuesday night. I have reached out to the Lightning to connect with Pat.
