"I'm full of gratitude for the players, the organization, and the fans who have put the roof over my head for 19 years," Edwards told reporters during Boston's eventual 2-0 win over the Kraken on Sunday. "And it's truly an honor to have my family's name on the wall of the booth where I made a living in a world-class arena."
As part of the festivities, Edwards' colorful calls, catchphrases, and passionate pleas for both whistles and retribution were put on display as part of a pregame video tribute and ceremony.
Edwards announced his retirement at the end of the Bruins' 2023-24 regular season, noting that Boston's playoff run would be his final stint in the booth after first calling games on NESN in 2005.
In a conversation with The Boston Globe's Chad Finn in February, Edwards said he had received no clarity from doctors as to what hampered his trademark energetic delivery on the mic.
