Bruins to play on national TV 13 times this season

The league released its national TV broadcast schedule this afternoon, and the Bruins will get a baker's dozen worth of games in front of the nation this season.

It's important to remember that "nationally televised" no longer means NBC or NBCSN; as you may remember, the league's new deal with ESPN and Turner kicks in this season.

This year, "nationally televised" will mean either ESPN, ESPN+, Hulu, ABC, or TNT.

To the surprise of no one, the Bruins' first national game is against...the Flyers.

These guys again?????

I guess the Boston-Philly love affair wasn't limited to NBC.

The B's don't play on ESPN until a January 6 date with the Minnesota Wild.
