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…
By WILL WEISSERT and STEPHEN WHYNO NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump was attending the New York Yankees game on Thursday night to mark the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, after honoring the memories of the victims at the Pentagon earlier in the day. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Trump was even expected to stop by the locker room as his team hosts the Detroit Tigers. “The fact that he’s gonna be here, it’s something that I’m excited to be a part of,” said Boone, who added that he hoped he and the president would have the…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots came out of a busy offseason feeling like they’d addressed the deficiencies on their offensive line and with their overall playmaking ability.But their first game of the Mike Vrabel era showed New England’s offense is very much a work in progress.New England’s offense had a promising start, then sputtered in the second half as the passing game struggled to find consistency and make big plays. It added up to a 20-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.“We’ve got a long way to go,” Vrabel said.After falling behind 7-0, the Patriots had their…
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…
New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson had just five carries for 27 yards during his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Some have suggested that the electric second-round pick needs to be used more often going forward. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels addressed the media on Thursday and said the weapons in the backfield need to a bigger part of the gameplan in the future. “Question: What did you learn about the 3 RBs in the opener?” ESPN’s Mike Reiss posted on Bluesky. “Josh McDaniels: ‘They need the ball more.’” Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson (seven…
When Fraser Minten’s name appeared on the Bruins’ roster for this weekend’s Prospects Challenge in Buffalo, it was a mild surprise. The tournament is usually reserved for young players in organizations’ pipelines just getting their feet wet in pro hockey. The 21-year-old Minten, a 2022 second round pick of Toronto acquired by the B’s in the Brandon Carlo trade, has played 25 NHL games between the Maple Leafs and the B’s. But his participation in the tournament was not exactly something that was internally debated. “I got a phone call saying ‘You will participate,’” Minten said with a chuckle. There…
FOXBORO — This is the quarterback cycle. Step 1: praise and projection. A young gun steps into the spotlight as a college prospect, then becomes the No. 1 overall pick, a top-10 pick or a surprise starter. He gets buried in bouquets. The talent, the moxie, the smile. Look at him. A leader of men. The face of a franchise before he’s even stepped into a regular-season huddle. The kid’s got it all, they say. Media, mostly. Fans, too. Step 2: patience. Reality hits like an unblocked blitzer. The season arrives, and the kid throws a bad pick or fails…

The first week of high school football is always unforgettable. Last Friday night, fans saw a series of stunning finishes, highlighted by a fourth-quarter rally by St. John’s Prep to topple Springfield Central (a 36-35 victory where Jordan Toribio delivered the Eagles with a last-second touchdown and two-point rush, followed by a game-clinching interception). Fans also witnessed a matchup between South Shore teams that needed triple overtime to be decided, as Patriot League heavyweight Duxbury emerged victorious on the road against a very talented Abington squad (a 52-44 final). Many expect perfection with selections. Like most do at the start…
