BOSTON — The Bruins haven’t exactly been world-beaters at TD Garden lately, have they? The B’s have hosted more playoff games than any other team in the NHL since the 2008-2009 season, but hold a measly 19-18 home record across that stretch. Boston hasn’t exactly provided a “home-ice advantage” for the Black and Gold, and […]

Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery went viral for his impersonation of Panthers players during Game 5. The Boston head coach believed Florida was diving and overacting in an attempt to get B’s players called for penalties and set up power-play opportunities. Maurice didn’t address that accusation after Game 5, but he did in his news […]

Brad Marchand was back on the ice when the Boston Bruins practiced at Warrior Ice Arena on Thursday, one day before Game 6 against the Florida Panthers. And while that doesn’t mean Marchand will definitely play in the do-or-die contest, head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed it was a step toward his return. “I will say […]

The NFL schedule was released Wednesday night, and though it may still be mid-May, this is the closest football season has felt since the Super Bowl. Granted, with every day that passes on the calendar, we literally get closer to football season, but you get the point — don’t get caught up with the details. […]

The Bruins and Panthers are preparing for what should be an exciting Game 6 in Boston, but Paul Maurice won’t be spending his preparation pondering hypotheticals. The Florida head coach notoriously keeps a light tone in his news conference amid the gamesmanship that he plays during the Stanley Cup playoffs. He did that when he […]

BOSTON — The Bruins had every right to lose confidence following their Game 4 loss on Sunday, as they were pushed to the brink of elimination despite taking a two-goal lead early in the contest. Jim Montgomery’s boys have gone the other way, though. “I think there’s no doubt we’re getting more confident,” Montgomery said […]

Drake Maye expressed excitement about getting to work with Jacoby Brissett immediately after he was drafted. It’s clear the Patriots veteran quarterback is looking forward to competing and mentoring the rookie as well. “He (Maye) can make all of the throws,” Brissett told reporters at Gillette Stadium on Thursday, per MassLive’s Mark Daniels. “He wants […]

BOSTON — Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery called for a “power-play meeting” following his team’s season-saving victory Tuesday night. He just didn’t feel like the players and coaches were on the same page. “I don’t feel our players are buying into what we’re trying to sell to have success on the power play,” Montgomery said […]

We don’t know if Drake Maye will be the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback to begin the 2024 NFL season. Heck, we don’t know whether he’ll play at all this year. New England could roll with veteran QB Jacoby Brissett to open the campaign and see how it goes while Maye, the No. 3 pick […]

The Patriots had a rough result with their schedule release, but Jets fans were irate over the start of their team’s schedule. New England plays New York in Week 3 at MetLife Stadium on “Thursday Night Football,” the only primetime game on the Patriots’ schedule. The matchup is part of a stretch where the Jets […]

It wasn’t a particularly exciting or impressive win, but the Celtics took care of business Wednesday night at TD Garden. Boston secured its third straight win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and thus claimed the second-round NBA playoff series between the Eastern Conference foes. On a night when Jaylen Brown cooled off a bit, Al Horford […]

BOSTON — If you’ve been living under a rock, you might not know that Bruins captain Brad Marchand has missed the last few games with an upper-body injury. It wouldn’t matter if that rock was buried somewhere below the earth’s crust, though, you’ve at least heard people yelling about the cause of his injury. Marchand […]

The Patriots schedule didn’t come with any major revelations, but there was one odd aspect that could make things difficult in Jerod Mayo’s first season. A clear takeaway from New England’s schedule is there will be a lot of traveling this season. That’s highlighted by a Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley […]

David Andrews apparently is the latest example of the New England Patriots retaining key contributors. New England agreed to sign Andrews to an extension through the 2025 season, as first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates on Thursday. Andrews was set to enter the final year of his contract. Andrews reportedly will receive a base value […]

The NFL did not make it any easier to predict. The New England Patriots have the latest possible bye week, confirmed when their 2024 schedule was announced Wednesday night. New England will not have its bye until Week 14. Drake Maye’s potential Patriots debut was one of the biggest storylines ahead of the release. It […]

The Celtics will have to wait until this weekend to learn who their Eastern Conference finals opponent will be, but fans seem to have determined who they want to play. Boston closed out its series against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a win in Game 5. The C’s will get time to rest as the New […]

The Celtics completed a gentleman’s sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday at TD Garden, securing another five-game series victory to clinch a spot in the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals. Boston just never quite looked as dominant as you’d expect. The C’s had their fair share of struggles against the Cavs, hobbling through the majority […]

Anna Horford did not care for Draymond Green’s work Wednesday as an NBA on TNT guest panelist, to say the least. Green joined Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal and the crew, who covered the Celtics-Cavaliers and Mavericks-Thunder conference semifinal matchups. The Golden State Warriors star, as is customary, was unapologetically blunt with his analysis, which included […]

The NFL schedule release is a big day in league circles, at least for the 32 content teams, and the Patriots this season were no different. New England unveiled its 2024 slate with an ode to Boston-based cinema and the Patriots’ prolific past. You probably already saw that one, though. What you might not have […]

The Patriots have plenty of storylines entering the 2024 NFL season: first-year head coach, first-round quarterback, etc. Those storylines might be exciting in New England, but the league believes they’re not worthy of the national spotlight. The Patriots and the other 31 teams had their respective schedules released Wednesday night. New England will play at […]

The Patriots very well could have a long season ahead of them, but one team insider doesn’t believe Jerod Mayo will have to wait very long to pick up his first win. New England’s 2024 regular-season schedule was released Wednesday, and the slate isn’t very favorable to a Patriots team that’s amid a rebuild. Nearly […]

The New England Patriots schedule was released Wednesday, which also meant betting lines opened for every matchup. Fans knew what to expect when it came to who New England would face this season, but the full schedule highlights a difficult road in what already will be one of the hardest schedules in the league. New […]

Jeremy Swayman arguably has been the Bruins’ best player in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and his confidence between the pipes has helped keep Boston competitive against the Florida Panthers. Swayman’s poise in the postseason elevated his play from the regular season, and it’s had a positive knock-on effect on the rest of the team. The […]

The Celtics finished the job against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, but it wasn’t a given that Boston was going to take care of business in Game 5 of the sides’ Eastern Conference semifinal series. Home court hasn’t presented much of an advantage to the C’s, who improved to 15-14 at TD Garden in NBA […]

The Celtics took another step toward the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, but Jayson Tatum isn’t looking past Boston’s next challenge. Tatum spoke with the NBA on TNT crew right after scoring a team-high 25 points in the Celtics’ second-round series-clinching win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at TD Garden. Guest panelist Draymond Green argued Boston […]
