[We're all fans of the Sabres. That includes Buffalo's announcing team. Have you ever really stopped to think how an RJ call of a goal might sound to another team's fan? Or the way that he calls a play when he thinks there should have been a penalty aganst the other team and says "NO PENALTY CALLED!"?
What makes the Boston crew so different and so much worse? I just think that, for a game where we have to regularly listen to the likes of Doc Emerick, Pierre McGuire, Joe Micholetti, etc., that Edwards and Brickley are a welcome alternative to most of the non-Sabres announcing crews.
For me it's way more than just yesterday's game. I have heard these two a lot and each game adds onto the last. They have a habit of calling foul on anything that isn't in the favor of their team while also discounting or excusing any good play against them. We get a sensational goal and the sun was in the goalie's eye but when they get a garbage goal it is trophy worthy. We get boarded and it was a dive "get up!!" Edwards screams...they get an honest check thrown against them and the guy jumped from the top rope with a chair is his hands!! Aside from Jack comparing their wins to Bostonians fighting the Revolutionary War and him laughing when people are injured, the guy is just fucking annoying at best.
