Saturday’s Bruins-Penguins matchup didn’t just air a national broadcast on ABC. It also aired a cartoon simulcast version through the Disney TV show “Big City Greens.”
It’s ESPN’s second venture into the cartoon simulcast, entitled “Big City Greens Classic 2”: the first occurred in March 2023. Saturday’s version improved in a few different areas, including a new feature that allowed Kevin Weekes to break down a Boston goal at ice level.
During the second intermission of the Bruins’ 5-1 win, David Pastrnak spoke about the new wrinkle in the broadcast. Pastrnak scored Boston’s opening goal of the evening, and watched it in cartoon form shortly after.
