Jack Edwards licks the mic a la Brad Marchand. Former Leafs defenseman Roman Polak suffered a freak injury crashing into the boards and left the game on a stretcher. Edwards remarked “a little bit of bad hockey karma.” As for Polak he's tough as nails, hope he recovers soon.

Jack Edwards is a Bruins homer for Bruins broadcasts. Leafs have Joe Bowen as a Leafs homer but he's on radio and Bowen has more class not to make stupid comments.

I don't think the call was as bad as they're making it out to be.
Edwards maybe didn't come off as sympathetic given the outcome, but he wasn't being disrespectful and
his assessment in real time is pretty well spot on.

The BFF's never liked Polak. They think he is too big.
Size has nothing to do with it, Rockslinger.
He's just not a very good NHL defenceman.

Classless comment given the seriousness of the injury to Polak.

In our industry we have an expression call "soldier on". Doesn't mean one needs to be in the army.

"Soldier On | Definition of Soldier On by Merriam-Webster

https://www.merriam-webster.com › dictionary › soldier on
Definition of soldier on. : to continue to do something or to try to achieve something even though it is difficult"

I think Polak fits that definition. He will probably never win the Norris nor be selected as an all-star but he will just soldier on. My recollection of him when he was a Leaf was that he took on the dirty job of clearing the garbage in front of our net and demonstrated a level of toughness absent from the current Leaf team.

"On 2 July 2016, Polák returned to the Maple Leafs on a one-year contract.[7] Many considered it a strategic signing, with the rebuilding team anticipated to once again trade Polák for assets at the trade deadline. However the Maple Leafs exceeded expectations and found themselves within the playoff race come trade deadline, leading to Polák remaining with the team in a bid to make the post-season."

"In game two of the first round vs the Washington Capitals, he was the victim of a knee on knee hit from defenceman Brooks Orpik, which resulted in Polák sustaining a lower body injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the post-season." His absence meant the Leafs lost much if not all their toughness. As we all know, the Leafs lost to the Capitals.
