People oversell the Bruins as a homer broadcast. To be clear, they are, but Edwards over the past decade has always played up his call for exciting plays from both teams - he doesn't no-sell the opposition. I haven't been watching NESN broadcasts lately to see if that's changed because his precipitous decline in capacity is sad (the little I have heard makes it sound a lot like what Bob Cole went through towards the end) but in his "peak" years he was a thousand times more watchable for non-Bruins fans than Michels is, especially if you're a fan of a team that isn't actually playing the Bruins. Michels is unlistenable unless you are a fan of the Oilers.
