Bruins Jack Edwards Accused of Being 'High as Hell' on LIVE TV
Jack Edwards, the Boston Bruins' announcer, has always been a polarizing figure among NHL fans. While Boston fans appreciate his dedication to the Bruins, others think he is too biased in favor of the team.
On Sunday, during a game between the Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes, Edwards generated controversy for a different reason. He expressed disbelief that Hurricanes forward Jordan Martinook had not been called for a penalty, despite video replay showing no evidence of a violation. Furthermore, Edwards laughed uncontrollably and even clapped during the replay, creating an awkward and uncomfortable moment for viewers.
The incident led to accusations of Edwards being intoxicated, with some prominent hockey-related accounts on social media joining in the criticism. This latest incident is likely to further fuel the ongoing debate about Edwards and his role as the voice of the Bruins.
Spittin Chiclets suggested Edwards should "have another bong toke."

Of course there is no factual evidence that Edwards was intoxicated in any way, it is still a funny joke regardless.
