I know people hated him for being a homer, but the guy was a hell of a commentator. Always loved his work and he was fun to listen to. I really hope the Bruins and NESN are able to find someone even half as entertaining.

Who’s the new worst commentator?

I personally wasn’t his biggest fan, but I congratulate him on his retirement and hope he can figure out whatever is going on with his health.

Who else can we get to mispronounce Zibanejad’s name?

Truly, thank you Jack for retiring.

Rip, even as a habs fan I thought he was nice. You could tell he really cared. Good retirement.

Wonder if he has health issues, his speech cadence is very different recently.

Wish him nothing but the best! Props to him for such a long career. Hopefully, he can get his health sorted out.

I hope he can resolve his speech issues and that it’s not anything more serious. Happy retirement, funny screaming Bruins man.

Good luck Jack!
Thanks for all the great years, unfortunate that it had to end on a bit of a sour note.

He will be missed. Always a Jack fan. Still.

Ah, man. Knew it was coming. He’s been The Voice for most of my life watching. I hope he and his family are well.

Couldn’t stand listening to him call games, but if you listen to him doing interviews and talking about anything other than hockey, he comes across as incredibly well spoken and articulate. Best of luck to the super homer.

Congrats to him and Jeff Rimer on retirement and I hope they enjoy it.

Oh man, I didnt know he was having health issues, poor guy completely lost his announcing cadence.
Wishing him a happy and healthy retirement

That’s some energy that will never be replicated, ever again.

Would have been great to send him off on a 2 game win streak, last away game, last home game kind of thing….
Adorable_Dig2556
Say what you want about him, but he was our guy. Said some (lots) of weird things, was a total homer but called some great games. All the best, Jack.

Wasn’t a huge fan of Jack Edwards. That being said, it seems like he’s having health issues and I hope there’s nothing seriously wrong

Hes the Chinese Mustard on a tumbling muffin.

Sorry he’s leaving but you can hear him sleeping more and more. Sad to hear it happening In real time. Wish him the best though.

I’ll miss him.

As much as so many hate him, he has been a great announcer and a joy to listen to whether out of excitement or spite.
It’s sad to see him retire along with so many of the best announcers in the league over the past few years, but he had to leave at some point. Good luck in your future endeavours Jack.

He’s had health issues Can we respect his 20 yr legacy for 5 min before dumping on him?! You all should be ashamed It’s just a sport…. He and his family have to deal with serious health issues. I hope he’s ok

May the greatest homer broadcaster that I can recall enjoy his retirement and figure out what is going on with his health.

Thank god. I don’t mean to wish anything bad on the guy but as a caster he’s a fucking shithead.
