Series Talk: Those in New England have an announcer choice for Games 1 and 2

[Fenway]

Monday and Wednesday nights those in the NESN region ( all of New England except SW Connecticut ) can choose between NESN or ESPN.

NESN will not be legally available in the rest of the US. ESPN is the only option.

In Canada, Sportsnet may choose the Carolina feed instead of ESPN simply to avoid putting Ray Ferraro on the air.

For those in New England which feed will you watch?

Don't count out Sportsnet using the NESN feed. Even when NESN isn't available nationally in the US, Sportsnet has used the NESN feed. I would say that 80% of Bruins games that have been on one of the Sportsnet channels, they have used the NESN feed, even when Jack and Brick were in the studio as opposed to in the rink.

Are you implying something here?

 

[quietbruinfan]

Don't love any of the options. I almost wish my French was much, much better. Don't like Jack, and he is losing it. Between Ferraro and the great studio guys on Espn I would be sickened by the anti-Bruin flu. Rogers might be ok, but it is anti-Bruin. Edit : Trip Tracy is utterly nauseating on the Canes feed. I have nightmares with he, Jack, and Edzo in the same booth.

They have used a lot of NESN feeds

Prefer the national broadcast whenever possible.

Edwards has regressed significantly this year. His extended laughs
during play are obvious attempts to cover up his inability to correctly
identify players in the moment. Its too bad, because he has had a tremendous announcing career but its time for him to retire.

NESN without hesitation.

NESN goes offer them less intrusive graphics

Bally Sports is a nightmare

They have burried the game on SN360 so

 

[Smitty93]

Probably a game where I'll see how long I last on one channel before checking out the other. May also depend on whether they're winning or losing.

 

[GabeTravels]

Have hardly been able to watch NESN this year because Center Ice has been showing the other feed 95% of the time.

I haven't really missed it to be honest.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Sean is my buddy and by far my favorite PBP guy across all sports. Will tune into the ESPN feed.

I will probably switch the box to the big TV I usually use the Xfinity stream on that one since I use it for video games and films with tv2 for spots while watching a movie or gaming.

 

[Bruinaura]

I have no choice. Barf.

I love when NHL Network picks up a Bally feed and slaps their own ticker under the Bally what-have-you. The screen is like 20% moving graphics.

 

[Silva]

Are either of these 4k on fubo? If so that'll be my choice

 

[The National]

I’ll probably go with ESPN on mute with radio crew on.

 

[Clode]

ESPN. Jack is becoming more and more unbearable as the years go on and the national games just have a much nicer presentation all around.

 

[Bradely]

NESN if it is possible. First I like Jack, Brick and Sophia. I want a channel that cheers for my team. Most oftenly I get ESPN and I don't like their product. As per TVA which will be available, their dislike of the Bruins even though they sometime try to hide it, gets disturbing along the game and I don't appreciate it.

Jack and Brick all the way, however long that lasts. I thought ESPN, or, in years past, NBC/NBC Sports or whatever basically barged in and took all B's playoff games for themselves, bigfooting NESN. Is that still the case?

Also, why would TSN want to embargo Ray Ferraro? Please to explain.

Sportsnet does not like TSN employees showing up on their air. ESPN has also hired TSN's Gord Miller for playoff action but Sportsnet will look for any alternative not to use him.

Man I hope so. The only person who likes the NESN feed more than me is my wife.
