Bruins Legends Share Favorite Longtime Franchise Voice Jack Edwards’ Call

As the voice of the Boston Bruins, Jack Edwards made some iconic calls, such as “This building is shaking” or “The Bruins are showing hearts of lions,” among many others.

Bruins legend Patrice Bergeron shared his favorite call from the equally legendary broadcaster.

“2013, Game 7, against Toronto in the first round. The extra-time goal,” Bergeron told NESN. “That’s definitely one I’ll remember the most. Pretty impressive improvisation. I don’t know how he got that. But it was something I will never forget about him.”

Tuukka Rask, the franchise’s all-time winningest goalie, agreed with his former teammate that his favorite game was the 2013 overtime victory, but Edwards did pay special tribute to the netminder.

“I think the favorite call is pretty simple,” Rask told NESN. “The ‘Two Us, Two K’s, Two Dots.’ People still come up to me and reference that.”

Edwards and his longtime Bruins broadcasting partner Andy Brickley had a friendship that went beyond “High Above the Ice” at TD Garden or on the road. Brickley shared his favorite memory of Edwards, going back thirteen years.

“What I will cherish is what I saw on the duck boat. Stanley Cup Parade June 2011,” Brickley said. “I just look at you and that look on your face of total fulfillment, of pure emotional joy of a dream come true, and then on top of that the outpouring of affection, appreciation and gratitude that the Bruins fans expressed directly to you. That was something unique. That was something special. And it is forever etched in my memory.”

The Bruins and NESN will celebrate Edwards during the Black and Gold’s game against the Seattle Kraken at TD Garden on Sunday night.

Edwards announced his retirement from NESN in April after 19 years as the Bruins play-by-play broadcaster.
