Last night legendary Bruins broadcaster, Jack Edwards, compared the end of the “joyride” that was the Bruins season to the Hindenburg disaster 85 years ago:

People are upset at Edwards because he compared the Bruins collapse to a tragedy that killed 35 people. People like local 97.5 The Fanatic radio host, John Kincade:

This is an interesting case study. When does the statute of limitations run out on being able to compare your Presidents Trophy winning franchise collapse to a tragedy? Is it more taboo if it’s an American tragedy vs. one on international soil? You have to think comparing the Bruins collapse to 9/11 would’ve chapped a lot of people’s asses more than a reference about the Hindenburg. (EDIT: I fucking know the Hindenburg blew up in NJ) I didn’t even know people cared this much about the Hindenburg. Is there anyone still alive who can tell you where they were when the Hindenburg exploded? Are there a bunch of old Nazis tweeting at Jack Edwards asking how he’d like it if a broadcaster at Borussia Dortmund described their team collapsing in the Bundesliga final as a “blow up worse then the one on Boylston Street?” Probably not. But I’m sure a ton of Boston fans compared the season to much worse in the privacy of their homes.

Our resident chihuahua, Russ Joy, never frightened to nip at the ankles of sports media members around the city didn’t take any umbrage at Edwards’ remarks and let Kincade know:

Absolutely no comparisons in sports to mass casualty events should be uttered around John. Especially the Titanic. Unless, you’re of course, John making the comparisons:

The ol’ do as I say. Not as I do.

I have no problem with John making witty or comical jokes about mass casualties. It’s been 120 years since those smelly Brits took a bath in the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe a century is Kincade’s statute. That’s fine by me. Everyone has a line. He draws his at 99 years, but when it hits triple digits the gloves come off! He’s like Gallagher when he found out people only react when he smashes watermelons. Play the hits!

By the way Mrs. Lincoln, other than the shooting, how did you like the play?
