Jack Edwards faults Andrei Svechnikov for injury Hurricanes respond to Bruins announce

Many NHL fans find Jack Edwards insufferable as a play-by-play announcer because he's an unapologetic Bruins homer. Edwards stayed solidly in character Saturday when he tried to blame Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov for his injury in Game 3 of the Boston-Carolina series. Svechnikov fell to the ice with what appeared to be a lower-body i sue after jockeying for position withBruins defenseman Zdeno Chara in front of the net. MORE: Edwards, always quick to defend his B's and dump on opponents, said Svechnikov had been too frisky behind the net just before the injury and got what he deserved from Boston's captain. What NBC hasnt shown yet, regarding the unfortunate injury to Svechnikov: the Carolina wing playing hobby-horse, riding Chara on the back apron of the goal. You poke the bear, you take your chances. No one wanted to see Svechnikov hurt, but he bit off more than he could chew. Jack Edwards (@RealJackEdwards) That set offTwitter, including the Hurricanes'account. People in the replies tried to tell Edwards he got his facts wrong and/or vented at him for his take. This one shouldve stayed in the drafts, Jack Carolina Hurricanes (@Canes) It was Tucker Barnhart Jersey Aho behind the net with Chara Shawn McKenzie (@ShawnMcKenzieSN) Jack Edwards should be fired for this comment. If someone injured a Bruin Edwards would call to have the player never play in the NHL again. But if your a Bruin anything goes. Edwards doesn't even know the other teams players, That was Aho behind the net you piece of shit Skoal712 (@skoal712) Edwards had not expanded on his tweet as of Saturday evening. Svechnikov, 20, is a key part of the Hurricanes' offense; he is second on the club with seven points (four goals, three a sists) in six postseason games inside the Toronto bubble. He was held without a point in his team's 3-1 lo s Saturday. Carolina is now down two games to one in its best-of-seven first-round Eastern Conference series. It's unclear whether Svechnikovwill be available for Game 4 on Monday. Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour provided no update following the game. "Right now it's tough because you see a kid go down, and that injury looks really bad. That's all that's going through my head," . "I hate it for him." Edwards, safe to say,is feeling a lot le s disturbed about it all. Corbin Carroll Jersey
