The Boston Bruins are entering the 2025-26 campaign with a blank slate of sorts. With no players from their 2011 championship team remaining, a new era of hockey is set to be ushered in by this team, and that’s something that Charlie McAvoy is embracing ahead of the new season. Ever since breaking in with the Bruins in the 2017-18 season, McAvoy has been a key piece of the team’s plans, as he’s emerged as one of the top defensemen in the league. With guys like Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci and Brad Marchand no longer with the team, he finds…
The Patriots lost on Sunday, so naturally, quarterback Drake Maye and his underwhelming performance have been the main driver of conversation in and around New England. Former NFL quarterback Matt Cassel is at least a little bit sympathetic. “I think any time you have to go out there in the first game of the year with a limited run game and throw the ball 46 times, you’re gonna have some plays go awry, or you’re not going to be as crisp or as sharp,” Cassel told Phil Perry on the Next Pats Podcast. 🔊 Next Pats Podcast: Why Drake Maye CAN…

Exactly two months ago, on July 11th, something wonderful happened at Fenway:Actually, that’s not it.The Ceddanne Rafaela walk-off is such an enamoring highlight, it’s easy to overlook everything else that happened that night. (The Hunter Dobbins injury also says an unfortunate hello.) But, just before Rafaela’s electrifying moonshot, something even better and more important to the big picture might have subtly occurred for the Sox.When Rafaela stepped into the on deck circle before his heroics, Roman Anthony was stepping into the batter’s box, pinch hitting for Abraham Toro. This marked the first time Roman Anthony and Alex Bregman ever appeared…
