By The Associated Press The Florida Panthers are back-to-back Stanley Cup champions after defeating the Edmonton Oilers in their rematch final. They needed just six games this time after a seven-game thriller a year ago. Here are the numbers to know about the repeat: 3 — Teams that have won consecutive titles since the NHL salary cap era began in 2005. The Panthers join the Tampa Bay Lightning (2020-21) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2016-17). 19 — Teams in league history that have won the Cup two or more times in a row. 5 — Championships by teams based in the…

The Boston Red Sox saw their six-game winning streak come to an end on Tuesday following an 8-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The offense didn’t record a hit until the 5th inning, but the game was out of hand long before that. Starting pitcher Walker Buehler pitched a clean first inning, but ran into trouble in the second when he issued three walks and a couple of hits before allowing a grand slam to Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. After the game, Buehler gave a very matter-of-fact assessment of his performance. “At the end of the day it sucks to…
Jrue Holiday could be the odd man out as the Boston Celtics look to get under the second apron of the NBA luxury tax this offseason. Holiday has three years and roughly $104 million remaining on his current contract. Boston must shed at least $20 million in salary this offseason to get under the second apron threshold. That makes the 35-year-old guard — along with big man Kristaps Porzingis and sharpshooter Sam Hauser — a prime candidate to be moved this summer. But which teams would make sensible trade partners for the Celtics in such a deal? ESPN NBA front…
Much of the drama surrounding the end of Rafael Devers’ time with the Red Sox stemmed from the club’s decision to have him change positions and the apparent lack of communication that took place in advance. Things got so bad that Devers publicly objected to the notion, first of shifting from third base to designated hitter and later to first base. But speaking to the media Tuesday for the first time as a member of the Giants, the former Red Sox slugger sung a much different tune. “I’m here to give my 100%,” Devers said through an interpreter. “They’re the…
Ian Fleming gave us James Bond. The Raffy Devers Salary Dump left the Red Sox fans shaken and stirred. The OG Bond Villain was Auric Goldfinger. In the eponymous novel and movie, Goldfinger voiced his frustration at Bond’s ability to ruin his day. “Mr. Bond, they have a saying in Chicago: ‘Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action’.” Mookie Betts. Xander Bogaerts. Raffy Devers. “Enemy action.” “Goldfinger,” meet “Middle Finger.” Boston’s own Bond Villain, John Henry, has made it undeniably clear that the Red Sox have forever moved away from spending to win.

During the Red Sox six game winning streak entering tonight, they gave up a grand total of eight runs in all of those contests combined. Tonight? Walker Buehler allowed eight runs by the fourth inning! Absolutely nothing was working. Buehler looked uncomfortable, lacked command, gave up line drives all over the park, threw balls out of the zone that were uncompetitive, and strikes in the zone that were meatballs. As a result, the game felt over in the second inning when Cal Raleigh hit this grand slam: It gets even worse when you consider the sequence that led up to…
Coming into Tuesday the Red Sox were on a roll. The club had won six straight games thanks largely to its starting pitchers, who had gone at least six innings in each to help make sure the Red Sox were always in command. But that kind of streak is hard to maintain, and the Red Sox stumbled badly Tuesday night in Seattle. Walker Buehler endured another rough setback, allowing eight runs over 3.1 innings in the Red Sox’s 8-0 loss to the Mariners. Cal Raleigh did the bulk of the damage, going 3 for 4 with a grand slam and…
The Red Sox finally had their 6-game winning streak snapped late Tuesday night by the Seattle Mariners in a game dominated by Cal Raleigh, who drove in six runs to match a career-high. Starter Walker Buehler walked four with eight earned runs in just 3.1 innings of work. The rubber match to be played on Wednesday is an important one, as the two teams are competing for an A.L. Wild Card spot. For more, check out the video above from “Red Sox Extra-Innings,” presented by W.B. Mason. Source link

There was no stress to worry about. The only thing Tyler Cattoggio had to focus on Tuesday night was playing the game he loved. The Bridgewater-Raynham senior launched a two-run homer in the fourth inning, helping the South All-Stars win the 47th Massachusetts Baseball Coaches Association Senior All-Star Game with a 3-0 blanking of the North at Boston College High School. “I think it’s great getting to show everybody what we can do individually and as a team,” Cattoggio said afterward. “Obviously, they produced. I’ll miss playing with them a lot.” With some of the top pitchers in the Commonwealth…
