NESN’s continuing choice to not send play-by-play voice Jack Edwards and analyst Andy Brickley to away games led to a ridiculous scene Thursday night during its broadcast of the Bruins-Kraken game.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Edwards and Brickley have called road games off monitors in the network’s Watertown studios.
That has led to some confusing situations on broadcasts this season, such the broadcasters not knowing a goalie had been pulled because it was not shown on the monitor from the video feed they were receiving.
Edwards has made it clear at various times this season that he is not a fan of the situation, which at this point does look more like a cost-saving measure than a safety issue.
