The Bruins have won two straight, gotten points in their last three and appear to be turning a corner away from their season-jeopardizing six-game losing streak. Good time for a curveball, right? After a day off in Seattle on Sunday, the B’s showed up for practice at Climate Pledge Arena on Monday without Hampus Lindholm, who suffered some kind of unspecified injury and is going to miss some time, coach Marco Sturm told reporters in Seattle. “It’s not going to be a day-to-day thing,” Sturm said. “Hopefully it’s not going to be too long. He’s definitely going to be out…

The Boston Red Sox‘s hectic start to the offseason has come to a screeching halt. After adding several pitchers on the trade market, the team has struggled to find a way to bring another powerful bat or two to town. While the Sox have money to spend this offseason in free agency, it’s not as simple as going out and handing the top players available a big bag of cash. Boston also has a revamped farm system that has helped on the trade market, and that could continue to be the case moving forward. At this stage of the game,…

FOXBORO — Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that it’s “too early to tell” if four key players will be returning from injury this week against the Chargers. The Patriots open the postseason Sunday night against the Chargers at 8 p.m. ET, and the statuses of linebacker Robert Spillane, outside linebacker Harold Landry, defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga and left guard Jared Wilson bear monitoring. Spillane has not played since before the Patriots’ Week 14 bye week. Spillane — one of the Patriots’ best defenders, was active for the Patriots’ Week 15 loss to the Bills, but he did not…
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is on the campaign trail. Vrabel, who has been relatively reserved when it comes to discussions surrounding individual awards, pivoted when he stated that he believed quarterback Drake Maye was worthy of being named NFL MVP during an appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Monday. Vrabel was then asked to expound upon that belief during his press conference several hours later, and did exactly that. “He’s extremely accurate. He’s made the most of every passing opportunity. We created a lot of X plays, and to create X plays it’s about 30%…
FOXBORO — It’s tempting, I know. But just for a moment, don’t do it. Don’t peek ahead to those forks in the road where one path leads closer to the Promised Land and every other to the land of broken promises and football dreams. We’re not there yet. We’re here: the end of a regular-season ride no one — and I mean no one — believed the Patriots could take us. To 14-3, straight past relevance and back toward excellence. To a place that feels familiar, yet given everything they have been through, and everything they’ve put themselves through, more…
FOXBORO — Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel recently said on the radio that he best gift he received for Christmas was a shirt featuring rookie left tackle Will Campbell in a Baby Bjorn. The Patriots’ offensive line gave their head coach the shirt, which also shows Vrabel and assistant offensive line coach Jason Houghtaling, as a rib because of the close relationship Campbell shares with his two coaches. Campbell, who returned from a knee injury Sunday, was asked about his relationship with Vrabel after the 38-10 win over the Dolphins. “The first time I met him, we definitely hit it…
AJ Dybantsa has lived up to his billing this season as the potential No. 1 overall selection in the 2026 NBA draft. The BYU 18-year-old freshman — originally from Brockton — is dominating college basketball defenders at the moment. Earlier in the season, Dybantsa dropped 25 points at Madison Square Garden in front of Jaylen Brown and Derrick White in attendance, and AJ has stockpiled those kinds of scoring performances as the season has gone on. Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey recently predicted that Dybantsa will indeed be the first pick in the draft, despite competition from two other guys. “Right…
