If Mason Lohrei’s days as a Bruin are numbered, he’s making them count. Lohrei has been the subject of rampant speculation the last couple of days as part of a possible package for Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson. If it was bothering him, he didn’t show it. The defenseman scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season in the Bruins’ 5-2 victory over the Blackhawks in Chicago on Saturday night. Like Lohrei, Andersson played in his game Saturday, suggesting any prospective deal wasn’t that imminent, though the Flame, an upcoming unrestricted free agent, was seen savoring what might have…

The Chicago Cubs have done an exellent job this offseason to re-position themselves as contenders heading into the 2026 season. Chicago’s major moves have included trading for pitcher Edward Cabrera and signing third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal, along with adding multiple new arms to the bullpen. The Cubs were on the mind of Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer this week as he rated the best offseasons across MLB. Rymer had the Cubs among his top five. “The Cubs would not have been on this list a week ago, which goes to show what a big-ticket…

KINGSTON — Ever since he first took over Marshfield’s boys hockey program in 1999, Dan Connolly has enjoyed countless accomplishments in his tenure. As of Saturday, he can proudly call himself a member of the illustrious 400-win club. Sophomores Teddie Holte and Jake Goodyear netted two goals apiece, delivering Connolly his latest milestone with a convincing 9-1 romp of Patriot League rival Plymouth South. “We came into this game knowing coach had 399 wins,” Holte said. “We needed to get that 400th. No quit all night. That was our gameplan going into this.” Marshfield coach Dan Connolly waves to well-wishers…
FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) – Football experts from around the league have said the New England Patriots will have to play a nearly perfect game to beat the Texans and their tough defense in the Divisional Round this Sunday.The Texans’ defense has allowed the fewest yards in the AFC, and is likely to be the toughest team the 2025 Patriots have faced.When 7NEWS asked Head Coach Mike Vrabel about the need for perfection, he said it’s not exactly their end goal. “No we want to try to be as precise as possible,” said Vrabel. “We haven’t talked one time about being…
The Toronto Blue Jays have been one of the most active teams in Major League Baseball this offseason. They’ve made some marquee signings, like Dylan Cease and Kazuma Okamoto, and they’ve also been in the mix for plenty of others, most notably Kyle Tucker’s sweepstakes. After one of the most successful seasons in franchise history in 2025, it’s obvious that Toronto’s front office had a point to strike the iron while it’s hot this offseason. That’s probably why Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer ranked Toronto as having among the best five offseasons in all of Major League Baseball (so far).…
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at a Gold Glove infielder.Who is he and where does he come from?He’s Nico Hoerner and he’s currently a member of the Chicago Cubs, a team that, as Dan Secatore put it, just handed out a bad contract, a notion I agree with, albeit with sadness for the loss of a clubhouse leader. The 2018 first round draft pick (two…
Kristaps Porzingis will be only an observer when his new team faces his old team for the first time. The Atlanta Hawks ruled Porzingis out for Saturday night’s matchup against the Celtics with left Achilles tendonitis. It’s the fourth straight DNP for the former Boston big man, who also missed time with a knee injury early this season and sat out 10 consecutive games with an illness last month. Porzingis has appeared in just 17 of Atlanta’s 43 games this season, continuing a trend that persisted over his two years with the Celtics. He missed a total of 57 regular-season…
Joonas Korpisalo will get the nod tonight when the Bruins try to extend their win streak to six games against the Blackhawks in Chicago at the United Center. Jeremy Swayman played the previous two games but there is no need to overwork him at the moment. Korpisalo, much improved lately, has stopped 55-of-56 shots in last two starts. While the goalie choice is set and the forward lines will remain the same, there are a couple of game-time decisions on the back end. Both Andrew Peeke, who left Thursday’s win over the Seattle Kraken with a lower body injury, and…
Former New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is expected to generate a lot of interest this offseason as a potential trade candidate. Jones signed a two-year contract worth $8.4 million last offseason with the San Francisco 49ers, and he might be looking at a potential landing spot in the AFC East. Antwan Staley, a writer for the New York Daily News, believes the New York Jets could trade for Jones this offseason. He also mentioned other quarterbacks to consider, including Jameis Winston from the New York Giants, Anthony Richardson from the Indianapolis Colts and Kyler Murray from the Arizona Cardinals.…
