In many ways, he was the John Sterling of current hockey broadcasters, and now both have retired.

I know a lot of people hate shameless "homer" announcers like Edwards, but I'm fine with them on team broadcasts. Before his still-undiagnosed problem severely affected his announcing abilities, he was enthusiastic and entertaining, and painted colorful word pictures of what he was viewing through his black-and-gold lens on the ice. Rick Jeanneret (Sabres), Mike Lange (Penguins), Chuck Kaiton (Whalers/Hurricanes) and Dave Mishkin (Lightning) all let their loyalties show in their play-by-play, and were (or in Mishkin's case, still are) a reason to tune in to a game I'd otherwise have little interest in.
