If the Bruins really want to be taken seriously, they will have to prove themselves to be a harder out away from the Garden. But on Causeway Street, they are about as good as anyone. In their last home game until Feb. 26, the Bruins beat the Philadelphia Flyers, 6-3, on Thursday to sweep all nine home games in January and improve their home record to 21-8-1. Fraser Minten and Casey Mittelstadt led the way with three-point nights (1-2-3 totals each) and Jeremy Swayman made 33 saves. “We’re just sticking to what we do that gives us success,” said Tanner…

SHARON, MASS. (WHDH) – Students at Heights Elementary School in Sharon used a writing exercise assigned by their Patriots superfan teacher to send some encouragement to quarterback Drake Maye during a pivotal moment in the team’s season.Each of the fifth-graders wrote a letter to Maye before the AFC Championship game against the Denver Broncos last Sunday. “In fifth grade, we talk about writing a letter and addressing an envelope. I’m like what if we wrote a letter to Drake Maye wishing him good luck, so that’s what the students did,” said Matthew Cavoli, fifth-grade teacher at Heights Elementary School.Those letters…
The Patriots are gearing up to compete in the Super Bowl on Feb. 8, while one of their former quarterbacks might be on the trading block the week of the big game. CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan highlighted several players who might be on the trading block during Super Bowl week, including former Patriots quarterback Mac Jones. “Brock Purdy is San Francisco’s franchise quarterback, but Mac Jones did endear himself when filling in as the Niners starter with Purdy injured,” Sullivan wrote on Thursday. “Jones went 5-3 as the starter and completed 69.6% of his passes with a 97.4 passer rating. “As we noted…
On Feb. 8, Sam Darnold will have a chance to complete one of the greatest career turnarounds in recent NFL history. Darnold will start at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60. It’s a fitting opponent for the 2018 third overall pick, whose lowest NFL moment came six years ago against New England on Monday Night Football. The Patriots’ defense wreaked havoc on Darnold and the New York Jets throughout the Week 7 matchup at MetLife Stadium. Darnold completed only 11 of his 32 passes for 86 yards, no touchdowns, four interceptions, and…
Allen Brown scored 41 points and Odens Massillion netted 27 in Holbrook’s 81-34 nonleague boys basketball victory over Boston Collegiate Charter. Patrick Johnson (19 points) and Logan Perrault (15 points) led the attack as South Shore Tech (10-3) cruised to a 64-51 victory over Norfolk Aggie in the Mayflower Athletic Conference. In a nonleague game, Thad Broughton racked up 24 points with 13 boards and Mark Mendonca finished with 23 points to power Peabody to a 79-55 victory over Excel Academy…. … Junior Ethan Suhajda registered a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, as Holliston (10-4) qualified for the…
“Early’s 16% K-BB, and near-3.50 ERA in both projections, is startling. Of course, thanks to the logjam of pitchers on this team, he’s projected for only 50-60 innings at the moment. That being said, there are only six starting pitchers on The BAT, and seven starting pitchers on Steamer who are projected to have a better ERA than Connelly Early in the American League.“Early’s biggest strength at first glance, to put it in the most cliche and lazy way possible, is that he “knows how to pitch.” More specifically, he’s got a fastball, curveball, changeup, slider and sweeper, and while…
FOXBORO — The Patriots hit the field without three starters Thursday at the start of their first practice in the leadup to Super Bowl LX, where quarterback Drake Maye and the other quarterbacks were present but did not throw. Maye was present in uniform after being listed as limited on Wednesday’s projected injury report. Before Thursday’s practice, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said he had “not much” concern over Maye’s right shoulder injury. The Patriots will release their next injury report Thursday evening. Elsewhere at practice, inside linebacker Robert Spillane, outside linebacker Harold Landry and tight end Hunter Henry were all…
Only three teams have beaten the New England Patriots this season, and Maxx Crosby was on one of them. Crosby helped the Las Vegas Raiders beat the eventual AFC champions at Gillette Stadium in Week 1. The five-time Pro Bowler was a menace on defense, recording one sack and two quarterback hits on Drake Maye while also defending a pass. The Patriots steadily improved from there, losing just two games the rest of the way. Now, they’re in the Super Bowl after grinding out a 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. Despite playing four months…
FOXBORO — In his first year of eligibility, Bill Belichick has reportedly been passed over for election into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Belichick did not receive the minimum 40 of 50 votes from the Hall’s voting committee in the Coach/Contributor category, according to an ESPN report. The 73-year-old coach must wait until at least next year for enshrinement, likely along with other Super Bowl-winning head coaches Mike Shanahan and Tom Coughlin among others. It is unclear if Patriots owner Robert Kraft will be elected this year after being shut out in recent years. Kraft came out in support…
