Jack Edwards: ‘Playing On Edge’ Makes Canucks a ‘Tremendous Team’ Despite Cheap Reputation

The Canucks may have been out-scored 12-1 in the past two games, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be here.

Bruins play-by-play man Jack Edwards said the Vancouver Canucks are still a great team, despite the dirty reputation that the team has earned over the first four Stanley Cup Final games.

“I still think [The Canucks are] a tremendous team that’s playing on the edge, and playing on the edge is what’s made them a tremendous team,” Edwards told Matty Siegel on KISS 108’s Matty in the Morning.

Edwards noted that layers like Raffi Torres, Alex Burrows and Maxim Lapierre have flirted with the rules and that playing on the edge is what makes hockey great.

“Hockey is at once a beautiful and violent, nasty game, and that’s part of the lore of it — that these incredible athletes can do such graceful things at such ridiculous speed and still sort of get away with stuff. I think that really is part of the draw.” Edwards said.
