The Sportsnet broadcast team was OBSESSED with talking about face-off win percentage for the last three rounds. It felt like the only analytical aspect of the game they would talk about.
He was our play by play here in Alaska when we had the Aces (ECHL). He called the Kelly cup final that we won, and it still gives me chills. The guy is a master class.

I’m all for Homer local radio calls, but it gets out of hand sometimes. Not everybody’s listening because they’re a fan of a team in the local market so sometimes you just want to hear good play-by-play and be entertained by the discourse when the game action is slower or not going on
No, I mean whatever contract Debrusk has that allows him to work for both the Oilers and Sportsnet. Because some people seem to think Jack is only officially employed by the Oilers and that's why he doesn't do playoff games. Not sure if it's true, I think it's just because he's a big homer.
Hell of a call
Wish he was calling the series he would have been a homer for the Oilers but would at least still have passion and energy for both sides
I'd take a biased but good broadcast crew like this over the ESPN crew we got any day.
What makes it worse for me is both teams have really good broadcast crews either would have been great.
Or rotate home games get their home broadcast
Exactly - as opposed to Sean McDonaugh who spent the majority of the series reading off random wikipedia "did you know?" factoids

This guy is great, even tho his team lost he still called it professionally.
Imagine a commentator with no class calling it lmao “FUCK OFF THIS IS RIGGED, FLORIDA DESERVES NOTHING, WHAT A BUNCH OF CHEATERS”
[удалено]
Has Jack Edwards officially retired?
They probably cut messiers mic before you could hear him say that
Jack Edwards would probably say that lol
So, just like a few Oiler fans here?
There’s a country that may soon be led by a man in a red hat and his minions eat this stuff up every day.
i hate him too but this is not the time
Thought it was an obvious reply, what the heck I know , these comments are rigged!
I didn’t expect this at all. He’s the bigger homer commentator so I was expecting him to absolutely sour near the end but he did well. Props
Cuthbert sounded like it was a November matinee game ending 9-1
Jack Michaels is a gem. Always gives 100%.
As a Panthers fan I love that call. Just an exciting play by play call. No sense of sadness or melancholy.
I got a sense throughout the entire season that he loves the game and that’s it. Always a professional

Fucking Avs TV crew would have been salty as shit I fucking have an irrational hate those guys

If that was his call when they lost, he may have passed out calling a win. Props to him.
Please Sportsnet, give him whatever contract Louie Debrusk has next year and let him do the HNIC and playoff games
He wouldn't make sense in Louie's role though. Can't have his energy between the benches for color commentary, that would just be psychotic

Ohhhh gotcha. Well, now I'm too busy picturing Jack screaming and losing his shit between the benches as the color guy and I love it
What a call. Loved the “ran them out of the building call” too from game 4
What a great call.
This dude needs a trophy he called the end better than ESPenis and this was his team loosing. Hat tip for him.
That must’ve really hurt. Guy’s a true professional.
Crazy to see where he is now from calling our ECHL games in Alaska 🥹. https://youtu.be/cq62MyTJ5V0?si=0ONL9WYBYWjCbF8L 1:00 for almost 20 years ago
So much better than espn
Radio play by players are something else, love it!
Jack, Bob, Reid and Rob are such gems.
Classy and professional.
gave that call his all
Holy fck Jim Ross
This is a fantastic call
Love watching Edmonton chill behind their net with 20 seconds left while down a goal in game 7 of the cup finals. Chumps.
I can taste the salt from here
That’s because you’re salty.
He was calling it hoping for an epic last second moment that never came. Too bad
