Notes
[edit]- The 2004–05 season was canceled due to a lockout. If there were games in 2004, Dale Arnold & Gord Kluzak would have done home games, and Dave Shea & Andy Brickley would have done road games. Tom Caron would have been the studio host and Cam Neely, Barry Pederson, Rick Middleton, & Paul Stewart would have been studio analysts. All games would have been on NESN. On radio, WBZ would have been the Bruins' flagship station. Dave Goucher and Bob Beers would have called the games, Alan Segel would have been the studio host, and Tom Cuddy would have been the ice level reporter.
- Terry O'Reilly left the broadcast booth during the 1986–87 season to become Bruins head coach.[1][14][15]
- When Bob Neumeier missed games due to commitments with NBC Sports and WBZ-TV, Alan Segel served as the play-by-play announcer.
- On December 31, 2008, WBZ let go Tom Cuddy.[16][17]
- Dale Arnold replaced Bob Wilson as Bruins radio announcer following the 1994–95 NHL lockout; Wilson having decided to retire during the lockout. However, he did return to share play-by-play duties with Neumeier for the final game at the old Boston Garden (a pre-season exhibition game against the Montreal Canadiens) and the first game at the new Fleet Center (later the TD Garden) against the New York Islanders.
- In 1965, Johnny Most served as a color commentator for one Boston Bruins game when play-by-play announcer Fred Cusick was sick and color commentator Bob Wilson filled in on play-by-play.[18]
