Icon20 Best place to watch Bruins playoff games

Hello everyone. New to the forum. In town on business for a while and looking for a place to watch my hometown Bruins (hopefully for another long run this year). I'm looking for a bar where the game is the main show, and preferably has the sound on, not loud music. I'm without a car, so needs to be downtown, or easily accessible via public trans.

Any suggestions? I'm sure you'll help cause Bruins and Flames fans both have in common a strong dislike of the Canucks.

it's on CBC, so pretty much any bar in the city will be showing the games. it's not like you're in the deep south US, hockey will be everywhere up here during playoff time. you should also have access to the games from your hotel room

Well the Bruins games are on at the same time as the Sens games, so it might be a bit tougher to find it being shown with sound on over the other series. Still, most pubs should have at least one TV showing the game.

I'm not sure, but I would think any sports bar with more than one TV will either have the game on or be willing to put it on for you. There would, I think, be dozens of such places downtown.

And you're right: we do have a special place for the Bruins in our hearts around here.

What part of town are you staying in?

Flames Central is a unique sports bar downtown.

Pretty sure if a hockey game is on, pretty much every bar in the city is playing it. And if they're not, they'll likely change a TV for you if you just ask.

I cannot tell you where, but I can tell you with whom.

Best person to watch Boston games would be with Vancouver fans.
