Edwards off his feet with enthusiasm 01.27.09 at 9:08 pm ET

Though this blogger didn’t witness it, we have a couple of reliable reports that NESN play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards got a little “overexcited”after Savard’s game-tying goal in the second period, and — as a result – ended up on his back in the ninth floor press box at the Garden. Edwards, given the night off with Versus broadcasting the game, executed a double-fist pump and then went to high-five NESN sideline report Naoko Funayama following Savard’s power play strike. As he enthusiastically rose from his chair, Edwards tripped over something and tumbled to the ground while shaking his fists in exultation.

Classic Edwards.

We can only imagine what he might have said on the air if he was actually broadcasting the game…perhaps something about stumbling into Wayne Gretzky’s office.

    Jack Edwards is annoying, massively so. Everything is a ‘saucer pass up the half-wall.’ Everything is said with a 200% shot of hyperbole. All this would be OK from someone who has played the game, not a yellow-teethed midget sports media hack who never played a sport in his life.
