Bruins legend Zdeno Chara is feeling at home in his new role with the Black and Gold, one he says will force him to look at the game from the “other side” while he draws back on lessons from his playing career. The Bruins have named Chara as a hockey operations advisor and mentor, officially reuniting the former 14-year captain with the organization he led to the 2011 Stanley Cup. Chara, 48, has turned into an impressive marathon runner and triathlete since retiring in 2022. He says being around the team will be his top priority, and that he’s excited about…

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — One of the staples of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel’s weekly addresses to his players is to remind them about “the good, the bad and the stuff that gets you beat.”Through three games, both New England and Carolina have exhibited bad habits on offense that have contributed to 1-2 starts.While they have also shown flashes of strong offensive play, this week gives both teams a chance to establish an identity on that side of the ball.New England never led in last week’s 21-14 loss to Pittsburgh. The Patriots turned the ball over five times and scored on only…
With a magic number of one entering play on Thursday the Red Sox, well, you know. They didn’t play very well. After a brief surge of excitement to win the first two they went back to middling pitching and quiet bats. The Astros won. The Tigers won. And that coveted playoff spot remained unclaimed.Boston needs just one win to make it to October. Or a loss by the Astros to the Angels. And the Tigers stand in their way. The Astros need to win out while the Red Sox lose out in order to keep Boston from October. Of course…
FOXBORO — The Patriots had perfect practice attendance Friday with rookie left guard Jared Wilson returning to the field. Wilson had missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with ankle and knee injuries. It still seems likely that Ben Brown will start in his place, but Wilson’s participation Friday at least opens the possibility that he will play Sunday against the Panthers. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez also practiced for the sixth straight session. He did miss last Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury suffered July 28. Wilson, a 2025 third-round pick, hasn’t allowed a sack this season, per PFF. He has allowed two…
The New England Patriots will get their first glimpse of a young NFC quarterback this weekend. Bryce Young leads the Carolina Panthers into Gillette Stadium to face the Patriots in a battle of 1-2 teams. The former No. 1 overall pick has endured an erratic start to his NFL career, but New England’s defense isn’t taking him lightly. Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams praised Young’s abilities ahead of Sunday’s Week 4 matchup. “The quarterback, jitterbug back there,” Williams told reporters on Thursday. “He can make all the plays. He can make all the throws. We just have to have everybody…

Welcome to the Friday Five! Each week during the NFL regular season, I will drop five Patriots-related thoughts on Friday to recap the week that was in Foxboro and look ahead to kickoff. Ready, set, football. 1. What if … Back in March, Milton Williams was thiiiis close to becoming a Panther instead of a Patriot. Williams hit free agency as a top target for both teams, fresh off a dominant Super Bowl run with the Eagles. Once free agency opened, initial reports suggested Williams was headed to Carolina. Instead, after whiffing on Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley and Buccaneers…

Some things stayed exactly the same, most notably at the forefront of the rankings, with the usual names staying put. Others have made a meteoric rise, including an array from the North Shore. Fun fact: the MIAA will release its initial power rankings Friday. Programs will have a better grasp of how things could shake out in their respective divisions. Will they remain in the hunt for the Herald’s top spot as the…
After going 4-2 on their final road trip of the regular season, the Boston Red Sox return home for their final series of the regular season with their magic number at one. All they need to do is beat the Detroit Tigers once this weekend (or have the Houston Astros lose a game), and they’re in the postseason. The Red Sox have several advantages over the Tigers in their pivotal clash, momentum being one. Boston has won five of its last seven games and six of its last nine, whereas Detroit’s in the midst of a historic collapse. The Tigers…
Tuesday was an excellent day for the Boston Red Sox. So was Wednesday. Thursday had the opportunity to be a significant day for the team and the organization, as the Red Sox needed only to win in Toronto to clinch a spot in postseason. But Thursday was not a great day, nor was it even a good day or a mediocre day. In terms of on-field results, it was simply a bad day of work for the Boston Red Sox, who lost 6-1 in Toronto. The defeat officially eliminated the Red Sox from having a shot to win the division,…
