The curtains fell on the Bruins’ season May 17 with a 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 6 of their second-round playoff series.
The end of the season meant that Jack Edwards’s 17-year run as the spirited play-by-play voice on NESN’s Bruins broadcasts was also coming to a close.
Edwards, who has been dealing with a mystifying speech complication for nearly two years now, announced in April that this season would be his last in the booth.
The final hours of the season, and the days after, were spent giving Edwards a proper salute rather than speculating on who might follow him alongside color analyst Andy Brickley as the new play-by-play voice.
