Earlier this season during a game between the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning, veteran announce Jack Edwards took a shot at Pat Maroon, and more specifically his weight. The unprovoked shot didn't set well with Maroon who opted to take the high road and made a donation to a charity in Edwards name instead.

Maroon is listed at 238 pounds. That was Day 1 of training camp. I've got a feeling he's had a few more pizzas between then and now. Fasting. Inadvertent fasting for Pat Maroon is like four hours without a meal. But hey, [he's won] three [Stanley Cups] in a row! Who can argue with his formula?

With the Bruins scheduled to face off against the Lightning tonight, Edwards tried to take this opportunity to try and bury the hatchet with Maroon. But according to those in attendance that conversation didn't go exactly how Edwards had planned.

First meeting between Bruins and #GoBolts since December and the comments made by Jack Edwards about Pat Maroon, Edwards went to Maroon to offer an apology.

It's not exactly going well for Edwards.

As this was a private conversation, even in a public setting, it's not my place to share exactly what was said unless either party wishes to reveal, but I will say it's evident Maroon is still displeased with the situation.

Given Edwards track record, it's not surprising Maroon was unwilling to accept an apology. Especially after Edwards completely ignored the situation up until today. It will be interesting to see if this displeasure boils over into tonight's game.
