Pre-Game Talk: Any Broadcast of First Preseason Game?

[rudos1]

I saw nothing on the Bz or the Habs sites about a stream and NHL network doesn't have it. Anyone know if this will be a dark game???

It's on RDS in Canada.

I'm still miffed at this. The NHL Network is showing a Maple Leafs game. Not to get all hyperbolic, but choosing Flyers/Leafs over Bs/Habs? The latter is quite possibly the greatest rivalry in sports. Okay, I'm biased, but still...

And the fact that they're showing a Caps and an Islanders game against the Bs just compounds the problem. Neither is in our friggin' division! For that matter, the same could be said of Toronto/Philly.

NESN to the rescue, please? Because the Sox have already clinched...and by clinched, I mean last place in the AL East.

Per Mike Loftus on Twitter:

@MLoftus_Ledger: #NHLBruins at #Habs is being broadcast Tuesday by 985/Sports Hub. Play-by-play man Dave Goucher says it is so.

I saw that but I was really hoping for some video stream especially now that I see it will be on Canadian TV I will have to hunt it down tomorrow night..

Can we hunt for that Canadian stream here in America?

pathetic.
this is 2014 not 1980.

what the hell is nesn plus for then??

Hockeystreams.com will have the game (presumable the RDS feed) if anyone has an account. Pretty sweet deal... $110 for the season, you basically get every league that has a broadcast, and blackout rules don't apply. Was watching WHL games all weekend!

Not sure of the full "legality" of such... ;-)

Guess I'll figure out how to stream the french video with 98.5 commentary.

PRESEASON GAMES ON THE AIRWAVES: NESN will televise two of the seven Bruins preseason games this year (9/30 vs. Islanders and 10/4 vs. Red Wings), while the NHL Network will carry three games (9/26 at Washington, 9/30 vs. Islanders and 10/4 vs. Red Wings). Dave Goucher and Bob Beers will call four games total beginning with the preseason opener at Montreal on 9/23 and the three home games at TD Garden (9/24, 9/30 and 10/4).

Woot I live in montreal so i can watch it on RDS

Are they playing in montreal or boston?

And anyone know the lineups yet?

 

[smithformeragent]

I remember watching a preseason game against the Islanders on the B's website post lockout.

Murray scored.

The quality was abysmal.

And yes, a Bruins pre-season game would likely beat a Sox game at this juncture of the season so if not on NESN plus, why not?

Cost of broadcasting versus projected revenue I'd have to imagine.

Hockeystreams has tomorrow night's game in Montreal. But they don't have Wed's Bos/Mon game.
