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

[Alicat]

I've already apologized to my sister for having to listen to ESPN.

 

[TD Charlie]

Has to be NESN.

I've enjoyed the TNT coverage quite a bit, but ESPN has been straight up garbage.

 

[McGarnagle]

It's more likely I'll be listening to Judd Sirott and Bob Beers

 

[BMC]

NESN all the way. I can always mute it and listen to 98.5 if I have to. And I will once the Bruins advance to round 2.

 

[Beesfan]

There isn't anyone I'd rather listen to call a Bruins game than Jack and Brick. Jack has so much personality and Brick is the best color analyst in the business. I want the call on Bruins games to have a hometown slant, and I don't see why they shouldn't. Its like watching with a friend. I still like national broadcasts for other teams (although they have gotten markedly worse over the years), but they feel cold and neutral for the Bruins.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

Will all game be on ESPN? I want to get sling so it has ESPN and TNT/TBS but will miss out on NESN for round 1 (or at least I thought)

yes witht he exception of the mother's day game. That is on TNT

You should check to make sure espn isn't blacked out tho

 

[EvilElf63]

I'll be listening on the radio, being without cable and all. But I would have listened to NESN

Brick is good.

But I'll take Daryl Reaugh any day.

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

My NHL tv is saying I have NESN and the Carolina feed not Sportsnet ?

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Video and audio quality is better on ESPN for me so I will stay there

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

ESPN doesn't have the obnoxious cgi ads superimposed on the glass. They win.

 

[nORRis8]

Watching a feed off of Bally (I do believe)
You think ESPN hates Boston, listen to these asshats

 

[Dr Hook]

I actually thought McDonough and Ferraro did a good job with the game. I didn't listen to the intermission tools.

 

[Bruin]

I would prefer NESN but it looks like that's not an option for me in the playoffs so ESPN it is. I also listen to the games on my phone when I can't get the game on tv and I enjoy listening to Jack and Brick. They are big Bruins guys obviously but they aren't annoying homers like some announcers I've listened to from other teams.

 

[Babajingo]

Don't mind McDonough. But Ferraro is bad. Can we combine? have Sean do the PbP and Brick be the analyst?

 

[Rcknrollkillnmachine]

NESN every time.

Jack, Andy and Sophia are the best for me.

ESPN is unbearable listen to.

 

[jgatie]

I was wondering, did "Chicken Parm" Ferraro always sound like Lars Ulrich from Metallica? Because I don't remember him sounding like that, but I may be misremembering.

 

[whitetape]

I'm tired of Jack's hollow chuckling, so I prefer the game-calling of McDonough. Ferraro is good too. The only thing is I miss the between-period NESN crew. Messier and Chelios bring nothing.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Don't mind McDonough. But Ferraro is bad. Can we combine? have Sean do the PbP and Brick be the analyst?

I wish Sean was with AJ Myzelko (sp) she is great. Her and Melrose is a good call.

Agree with Messier and Chelios being awful though.
