| How To Listen To The Boston Bruins Game |
Cable Crusader or Cord-Cutting Conundrum?
There are two main paths to Bruins nirvana, depending on your technological allegiances:
The Traditionalist's Tune-In: For those who still rock a good old-fashioned cable package, NESN (New England Sports Network) is your holy grail. Check your local listings to see if it's included in your plan. Just settle in, grab a cold beverage (Sam Adams, anyone?), and prepare for Jack Edwards' legendary enthusiasm to vibrate your furniture.
The Stream Team's Strategy: Ditched cable in favor of the wild west of streaming services? No worries! Here are a few options to consider:
- NESN 360: This is NESN's very own streaming service, so you're guaranteed Bruins broadcasts. However, it requires a separate subscription.
- Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Sling TV: Some live TV streaming services offer NESN in their packages. Do your research, compare prices, and choose your champion!
Pro Tip: Don't forget to check out the Bruins' official website for the complete broadcast schedule – you wouldn't want to miss Patrice Bergeron weaving his magic on the ice because you were busy perfecting your clam chowder recipe (though, to be fair, that's a pretty good reason to miss anything).
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Beyond the Boob Tube: Radio Ruckus for the Die-Hards
Maybe you're stuck at work, on a road trip, or just craving that old-school radio drama feel. The Bruins have you covered there too! Tune in to 98.5 The Sports Hub to hear the dulcet tones (or should we say, the booming baritone?) of play-by-play announcer Judd Sirott guide you through the game.
Bonus Round: Unleash Your Inner Social Butterfly
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
Social media is a great way to connect with fellow Bruins fans during the game. Follow the Bruins' official accounts on Twitter and Facebook for live updates, highlights, and maybe even some witty banter from the ever-entertaining Jack Edwards himself.
