"Silent Night" just wouldn't have made sense.
"We wish you a Merry Christmas", though, fit perfectly for Boston Bruins play-by-play voice Jack Edwards, who was certainly in the holiday spirit Tuesday night.
As St. Louis Blues big man Ryan Reaves squared up to fight B's bruiser Tyler Randell, Edwards – rather bizarrely – broke into the Christmas tune.
“Ho! Ho! Ho!" Edwards said, “this could be something.”
As the two players do-si-doed at centre ice, Edwards sang out the holiday classic.
“We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
