After the Bruins’ Game 3 win over the New York Rangers to take a commanding 3-0 series lead, Edwards took some time to talk to the Loren & Wally show on WROR. Specifically, he talked about Daniel Paille‘s game-winning goal, which was put home off of Thornton’s rebound.

Like everyone else, Edwards thought the goal was a little bizarre, so listen to him talk about the sequence on his radio interview Wednesday morning in the audio below.

The Bruins’ fourth line has been called many things. The players are probably OK with them all, as long as you can call them “winners.”

You can on Tuesday night after a gritty, gutsy performance pushed the B’s to a 3-0 series lead over the New York Rangers. After the dramatic, come-from-behind victory, NESN’s Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley were rinkside at Madison Square Garden to break down the action.

Check out what the two had to say in the above video.

The Bruins’ fourth line has no shortage of fans around the Boston area, thanks to the unit’s energetic play that seems to come through just when the B’s need it the most. That line could also be a difference-maker during the team’s Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Rangers.

According to NESN’s Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley, the Boston forwards could end up playing a key role in this series because the Rangers just don’t have the depth up front to match up with the B’s. On defense, however, the two tell a different tale.

See what Jack and Brick have to say in the the video above or on NESN’s YouTube channel.

Most great goals are triggered by equally great, but often overlooked defensive plays.

That was certainly the case Thursday night, when a textbook poke check by Zdeno Chara near the Bruins’ blue line in overtime led directly to Brad Marchand‘s game-winning goal. Marchand beating Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist five-hole will be what shows up in the highlight package, but his goal never happens without Chara’s heads-up play in his own zone.

Check out Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley‘s breakdown of the entire sequence in the video above.

The Bruins came dangerously close to a very disappointing first-round exit earlier this week, needing a historic comeback to prevent the Maple Leafs from taking the series after trailing three games to one.

B’s head coach Claude Julien said that near-collapse is nowhere near his players’ minds as the team prepares to take on the New York Rangers, though, and that his team is instead looking at Game 7 only as a positive.

Bruins great Cam Neely joined NESN’s Jack Edwards prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Thursday to take one more look back at Monday’s monumental win and preview what can be expected from the Rangers.

The Boston Bruins’ Game 7 overtime win in the NHL Eastern Conference Quarterfinal over the Toronto Maple Leafs was a heart-stopper. TD Garden shook with excitement when Patrice Bergeron netted the game-winner to cap off an amazing come-from-behind win for the B’s.

NESN play-by-play man Jack Edwards and color analyst Andy Brickley felt that excitement in the broadcast booth and Edwards made a pretty epic call of the final goal.

Check out the video above to see the exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Edwards’ call.

Tuukka Rask played the hero in Monday night’s Game 7 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Bruins goalie made 24 saves in the 5-4 overtime win, and one in a crucial moment that changed the momentum of the game.

The Maple Leafs blew a 4-1 lead in the final minutes and the B’s were able to come out on top, in part, thanks to Rask’s strong play in front of the net.

Check out the video above to hear Jack Edwards breakdown the crucial play.

With 11 minutes remaining in the third period Monday night, the Bruins were staring at a three-goal deficit and seemed destined for the golf course. What transpired after that point will be etched in Boston sports lore forever.

Nathan Horton cut the Maple Leafs’ lead to 4-2 with a goal 9:18 into the third, but Toronto still held a comfortable cushion with just three minutes to play. Claude Julien then called Tuukka Rask to the bench, and the Bruins proceeded to score twice in under a minute with the extra attacker, tying the game and setting up Patrice Bergeron‘s game-winner in overtime.

David Krejci has been arguably the best player on the ice in these playoffs, leading the NHL in points (10), goals (tied with Chicago’s Patrick Sharp with five) and plus-minus (tied with teammate Nathan Horton with a plus-7) in the postseason.

That dominance was on full display Wednesday night, when his hat trick — coupled with Tuukka Rask‘s stellar play in net — powered the Bruins to a 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4 of their first-round series. Boston can close out the Leafs on Friday at TD Garden, and Bruins play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards expects Krejci to again play a starring role.

Check out Jack’s full preview of Game 5 in the video above.

Even though the Bruins aren’t headed into the playoffs with the No. 2 seed, the fact of the matter is that they are in. The B’s match up in the first round against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and they still have a shot to make a deep run in the playoffs.

But Andy Brickley has expressed some concerns with the loss. He joined Jack Edwards after the game to break down what the loss means for the Bruins with the playoffs just around the corner.

To hear what Jack and Brick had to say, check out the video above.

For the first time since 2007, there will be playoff hockey at the Nassau Coliseum this spring.

After finishing dead last in the Atlantic Division last year, the Islanders clinched a playoff spot last week and currently have a hold on the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference with two games to play. The Isles are young and talented up front — John Tavares ranks third in the NHL with 27 goals — and surprisingly sturdy in net, with veteran Evgeni Nabokov boasting modest stats but winning a conference-best 23 games.

Let’s just hope they leave those hideous black sweaters on the shelf come playoff time.

Andy Brickley thinks these inexperienced Islanders were the team that benefited most from this lockout-shortened, 48-game season. To see what Jack Edwards and Billy Jaffe have to say about that, check out the video above.

There weren’t many positives to take away from the Bruins’ loss to the Flyers on Tuesday, so Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley didn’t try to find any. With a 5-2 loss firmly etched into the scorebook, the two broadcasters took a somber look back at what went wrong for the Bruins in Philadelphia, starting with some key turnovers the B’s committed in their own zone.

“It’s not a laughing matter when you talk about turnovers in a hockey game and you’re on the team that’s turning the puck over,” Brick explained. “It always ends up in the back of your net, and that was the essence of the loss [Tuesday] against the Flyers.”

Listen to more analysis from NESN’s broadcasting duo in the video above.

The Bruins fed off of the emotion of the crowd on Saturday at TD Garden, even throughout their emotional loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Bruins prevailed on the stat sheet, but that didn’t translate to a win. The B’s outshot the Penguins 40-24, but struggled on the penalty kill, showing a glaring weakness heading into the postseason. With four losses in the last four games, the Bruins’ fate remains to be seen.

Check out the video above to hear Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley break down the loss.

The Bruins couldn’t come away with a win against the Hurricanes on Saturday night, and poor special teams play was part of the problem. The Hurricanes scored their game-winner on a power play toward the end of the game, and the Bruins failed to capitalize on their opportunities in front of the net.

The loss to a struggling Carolina team makes it harder to make a case for the Bruins to be strong contenders to make a playoff run.

Listen to Andy Brickley and Jack Edwards break it down in the video above.

Bruins head coach Claude Julien said that his team played better in the first period Thursday night than they had all season. Unfortunately, Periods 2 and 3 didn’t go quite as well.

Boston couldn’t seem to muster any offense as they dropped a 2-1 decision to the New York Islanders, who have surprised everyone by going 9-1-1 in their last 11 games and would be a playoff team if the season ended today.

“We played pretty solid, still,” said Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, who finished with 34 saves. “Considering it was the third game in four nights, I don’t think this was a bad game for us.”

The B’s will take Friday off before taking on the Hurricanes in Raleigh on Saturday. For more postgame reaction from the Bruins, plus Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley‘s breakdown of the game, check out the video above.

The Bruins dropped their final regular-season contest to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night 2-1. The Habs capitalized in the first few minutes of the match, which left the Bruins trailing throughout the entire contest.

Daniel Paille scored the lone goal for the B’s, who struggled to equalize the game. They were presented with an opportunity late in the game as the final second wound down. The Bruins got a power play in the final minute of the game, but were unable to capitalize. Jack Edwards told NESN Daily’s Leah Hextall that the Canadiens looked like “the more alert team, the quicker team, the hungrier team,” in the matchup.

Hear what else Edwards had to say on the Bruins’ loss in the video above.

The Bruins and Senators combined to take 97 shots Tuesday night — the most in a single game by any two NHL teams all season.

That massive shot total coupled with the loss of Patrice Bergeron, Boston’s best two-way forward, to injury in the second period seemed to set the stage for a wild shootout of a game at TD Garden. But thanks to strong play by both goaltenders — B’s goalie Anton Khudobin set a career high with 45 saves — three goals were enough to give the Bruins the win over their Northeast Division rivals.

Say you could start an NHL franchise around just five players. Who would you choose? It’s not an easy question, as some of the league’s top talent flies under the radars of most casual fans.

Jack Edwards joined NESN Daily on Saturday to give his top five franchise players, and some of his selections may surprise you. Jack’s team did include some superstars, like Sidney Crosby and Zdeno Chara, but there’s also a spot for Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson, who, at just 22, is in his fourth NHL season.

Check out the video above to see Jack’s full squad.

Chris Kelly‘s leg injury leaves the Bruins down a center for Tuesday’s tilt with Pittsburgh.

The injury to the third-line centerman will result in some lineup shuffling by head coach Claude Julien, who will shift Rich Peverley — a natural center — to the middle on the third line and flank him with Jordan Caron and Jay Pandolfo. The Bruins’ depth at center prepares them for such a situation, but, as Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley pointed out during W.B. Mason Bruins Face-Off LIVE, losing Kelly for any extended time period would be a serious blow to the B’s.

The Bruins took a 3-0 lead in the first period against Washington on Tuesday, only to surrender four straight goals in a crushing overtime loss. The B’s built a three-goal lead again Saturday against the Flyers, but they wouldn’t let this one get away.

Tuukka Rask saved 23 shots to pick up his second shutout of the season, and the Finnish netminder praised the play of the defensemen in front of him after the game.

“I think I saw pretty much every puck,” Rask said. “They didn’t have that many shots before that last [10-15] minutes, but overall we did a great job of clearing those pucks out.”
