Boston Bruins forward Viktor Arvidsson got the money off his back on Saturday. The Bruins traded for Arvidsson in the offseason to add more secondary scoring to the lineup. Through nine games, Arvidsson had yet to score, despite having plenty of chances. On Saturday, with less than six minutes to go in the first period with Boston trailing the Colorado Avalanche 1-0, Arvidsson scored his first of the season. The forward scored from behind the net as he shot it off the back of Scott Wedgewood. Although it wasn’t the prettiest goal, Arvidsson said, getting his first of the season…

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor NutshellSheer dominance just about every step of the way.

It goes beyond the way he anchored the top of the rotation from start to finish — emphasis on start to finish. Throwing over 200 innings for the first time in his big league career all while staying healthy is a feat in and of itself. It’s something the Red Sox have been…

What would I do if I ran the Red Sox for a day? This week my editor asked my Herald colleague Gabrielle Starr and I what we’d do if we were put in charge. Would we swing a certain trade? Would we try and bring in a particular player? Would we shake things up in the front office or force through some fan-friendly changes? Let me tell you, I have some thoughts. For the sake of this exercise, we’ll assume that I’ve been granted dictatorial powers by the baseball gods. So if I want something done, it’s getting done without…

In an instant classic, Avon Old Farms found out just why Saturday evening.

BOSTON – It took a timely corner kick, but Latin Academy came away with its fourth straight Boston City League title Saturday afternoon. The Dragons used a quick corner to confuse the O’Bryant defense in what ended up being the lone goal of the contest in a 1-0 victory at Madison Park/O’Bryant. “It feels good,” said first-year head coach Saddene Green. “The girls worked hard all season. We had 12 seniors this year, so it’s a great way to kind of send our senior players off.” After a relatively quiet first half that saw just two shots on goal for…

Cleveland’s quarterback room was one of the biggest storylines ahead of the 2025 season after they selected both Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft. With Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett in town, nobody really knew who would start…
