Cable? Cord Cuttin'? We Got You Covered
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
There are two main ways to snag that Bruins fix: the classic cable route and the new-age streamer approach. Let's break it down like a power play formation:
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
The Old School Method: Cable - For those who enjoy the company of a million commercials and the reliability of a brick, cable TV is your jam. Important Note: You'll need to find out which channel carries NESN, the home of the Bruins.
Streaming the Dream: Cord Cutters Rejoice! - Ditched cable and living the free and wireless life? Don't worry, you can still watch the B's dominate. Here are a few popular streaming services that offer NESN (subscriptions required, folks):
- FuboTV: Great for sports fans, with tons of channels to keep you entertained between Bruins games (because, let's be honest, some games are a snoozefest).
- Hulu + Live TV: This bundle combines Hulu with live TV, including NESN. Perfect for catching up on shows while also cheering on the black and gold.
- ESPN+ / Hulu: These two join forces for a mighty streaming duo. ESPN+ shows some Bruins games, with Hulu offering select NESN broadcasts.
Beyond the Basics: Extra Tips for the Dedicated Fan
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
The NHL App: This app lets you watch out-of-market games (with a subscription, of course). So, if you're stuck in Florida and can't stand the smug Panthers fans, you can still cheer on your boys.
The Radio Broadcast: Sometimes, you just gotta hear the legendary Jack Edwards' voice booming through the speakers. Luckily, most Bruins games are broadcast on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Hit the Pub!: There's nothing quite like the atmosphere of watching a Bruins game with fellow fans at a local sports bar. Bonus points if they have good nachos.
How-To FAQ for the Clueless Cousin
How to Find Out If My Cable Package Includes NESN? - Call your cable provider and ask the lovely (or not-so-lovely) customer service rep.
How Much Does a Streaming Service Cost? - Prices vary, but most fall in the $50-$80 per month range. Do some research to find the best deal for your needs.
Is There a Free Way to Watch Bruins Games? - Technically, there are some free streaming options out there, but beware! Many are unreliable and can be loaded with malware. It's better to stick with the legit services.
What About Watching Games at the TD Garden? - Absolutely! But be prepared to shell out some serious dough for tickets. Though, witnessing the energy of a live game is an experience every Bruins fan should have at least once.
How Do I Explain to My Significant Other Why I Need Another Streaming Service Just for Hockey? - This one's a tough one, buddy. Maybe use your powers of persuasion to highlight all the other great content the service offers (or bribe them with takeout?).
So there you have it, folks! With this guide, you're well on your way to becoming a Bruins-watching pro. Now get out there, grab a jersey (or two), and cheer on your favorite team!
