On Saturday night, both wide receiver Brandin Cooks and tight end Rob Gronkowski were each spotted taking in the Boston Bruins match up with the Carolina Hurricanes during the teams wild card bye week.

For Cooks, it provided him with an opportunity to experience the rest of the Boston sports scene for the first time and how unique the city is when it comes to rallying around all of its teams.

The sports around here is like one huge family! #bostonstrong #gobruins

Gronk meanwhile was captured on the TD Garden jumbotron which fired up the fans in attendance.

After the game, Cooks was spotted in the Bruins locker room showing some support to Bruins alternate captain Patrice Bergeron and the rest of the team. Bergeron, would score four goals on the night, giving Cooks an experience he’ll never forget.

In the end, the final score was fitting, as the Bruins scored enough goals equivalent to that of a touchdown, and beat the Hurricanes 7-1.
