Bruins players and the hockey culture just connects with the New England market better than basketball players do. And most importantly, the Bruins actually won.

It was a wonderful day for Boston Hockey, therefore a WONDERFUL day for Canada. As is tradition.

Damn, that’s just impressive. Especially with how hyped the current Celtics roster is and being the championship favorites

The first round of the NHL playoffs is some of the best entertainment in sports.

Because people are starting to get bored of watching 130-126 score games, with a foul every 2 seconds and literally zero effort defense.

Don’t have the patience to watch the Celtics get punked and not adjust.
They’re fucking frustrating for a team that won 64 games. They drop back into the same bad habits whenever pressed. This has been the case for a few years now.

Not surprising. Boston loves basketball but they are a hockey city first.

Well sure, I mean, F da Bruins and all that – but The NBA?
C’mon man…

Yeah makes sense. One team is playing a top rival of theirs with an electric atmosphere. The other team is playing an 8 seed with bandwagon fair weather fans. Seems like an easy choice.

I just can’t believe the nba is still popular at all. The product is hot garbage and has been for like 15-20 years now

When I visited Boston and the Maine, I loved the fact that most of the TVs in the restaurant I was in was on the Bruins and only a few on the Celtics.

It’s because basketball is boring. People from Boston like tough sports like hockey and football.

NBA playoffs being more well covered than the NHL playoffs will always not make sense to me. Because as far as entertainment value it’s not even close.

Basketball is boring and lame. People are learning.

Basketball is insanely boring and most of the game doesn’t matter and it seems teams don’t matter either just star players.
