Bruins broadcaster Jack Edwards calls NHL ref a ‘coward’ during Game 5 loss to Maple Leafs

Longtime Bruins broadcaster Jack Edwards has never been one to keep his emotions to himself while speaking into the mic — especially as it pertains to NHL officiating.

And in one of his final games calling Bruins hockey for NESN, Edwards made sure to deliver a parting shot against referee Steve Kozari.

Kozari drew the wrath of the Bruins on the ice during the second period of Boston’s eventual Game 5 loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.

After a netfront scrum broke out in the closing seconds of the period, Kozari sent both Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle to the sin bin — but only sent one Toronto skater, Joel Edmundson, to the penalty box.
