Fourteen years after helping the Boston Bruins win a Stanley Cup, Brad Marchand is one win away from helping the Florida Panthers do the same. Marchand has been unstoppable for the Panthers in their Stanley Cup rematch against the Edmonton Oilers, netting six goals in five games, including five in their three wins. The 37-year-old left winger made history with his two goals during Florida’s 5-2 win in Game 5. With his fifth and sixth goals of the series, he became the first player in NHL history to score at least five goals in a Stanley Cup Final with two…

Earlier this weekend Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the hope was that Tanner Houck would bounce back from his most recent bullpen session well enough to begin a rehab assignment next week. As of now, it’s full steam ahead. Houck will begin his rehab assignment in Worcester on Wednesday, Cora announced prior to Sunday’s game. Houck will throw two to three innings, and outfielder Wilyer Abreu is also expected to play in Worcester this week, though the manager said they’re still mapping out a plan for him. Houck has been on the injured list since May 14 with a…
The Red Sox have a chance to sweep the New York Yankees for the first time since August of 2023, and Sunday they’ll hand the ball to Brayan Bello to try and close the deal. Bello (2-1, 3.96) is set to take the mound for the Red Sox in Sunday’s series finale against Yankees left-hander Max Fried (9-1, 1.84). Fried has been among the best pitchers in the American League this season, but Bello is coming off back-to-back quality starts and will look to extend the club’s stretch of five straight games in which the starter has completed six innings.…
You could make a strong case for Brad Marchand as the most outstanding player of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final so far. The veteran left wing scored the opening goal in the first period of Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. Marchand used his speed to create a scoring chance and then beat Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard with a great shot. The goal was Marchand’s fifth of the series. As a result, he has now scored five or more goals in two different Stanley Cup Final series (he also scored five with the Boston Bruins in 2011).…
When Roman Anthony stepped out of the tunnel and onto the field at Fenway Park for the first time on Monday, he was greeted with the kind of scene that typically signifies the arrival of a rock star, not a young ballplayer making his big league debut. TV cameras. Cell phones. Seemingly every eye in the stadium, focused squarely on him. As baseball’s top prospect and one of the most hyped players to ever debut for the Red Sox, Anthony is no stranger to being at the center of attention. A case could be made he became one of the organization’s…
Boston Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins attracted the attention of a few New York City tabloids last week after making comments critical of the Yankees organization. Declaring that ‘if the Yankees were the last team to give [him] a contract, [he’d] retire,” Dobbins shook off the negative attention gained from his tongue slip and looked sharp in his five innings of work in the Bronx last weekend. Facing the Yankees for his second time in a week, Dobbins was even better during his five innings of work and earning his fourth win of the season on Saturday. With his recent…
I think this win solidifies that the Red Sox are officially, tentatively, back. If you told me two weeks ago that the Red Sox would win back-to-back one-run games to get to a four-game winning streak, I would’ve thought you might be talking about the wrong color Sox. But now, Boston’s won four of five games against the Yankees, Hunter Dobbins made the biggest non-story ever completely moot with a second gem against New York, and Trevor Story and Carlos Narvaez have saved the season. Obviously, going into this one, the Dobbins “story” was going to be mentioned, especially since…
Fred Lynn became a Red Sox icon 50 years ago this summer. His 1975 season was so spectacular that he became Major League Baseball’s first player to share Rookie of the Year and AL MVP honors in the same season. He remains part of a Boston Baseball Holy Trinity – with Jim Rice and Dwight Evans – that formed the best Red Sox outfield since World War II. Lynn was a 9-time All Star. But he played more games for teams not named the Red Sox – Angels, Orioles, Tigers, Padres – than he did for Boston. He was part…
BOSTON (AP) — Hunter Dobbins pitched six shutout innings to beat the Yankees for the second time in a week, and the Boston Red Sox won their fourth straight game on Saturday night, 4-3 over New York.A week after saying he’d rather retire than pitch for the Yankees because his father was drafted by New York twice before being traded — and then having to defend his dad’s story midweek — Dobbins (4-1) struck out five and gave up two singles.Dobbins earned the victory against the Yankees last Sunday, too, when he worked five innings and allowed three runs, two on a first-inning, two-run homer…
Brad Marchand solidified himself as the Conn Smythe winner on Saturday night — should the Florida Panthers finish the job, of course. Marchand scored two goals in a 5-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Saturday night. The Panthers lead the best-of-seven series 3-2 after their win in Edmonton. Marchand netted the first goal of the night before he added a ridiculous highlight-reel tally five minutes into the third period. Check it out here, via NHL on TNT: Marchand has scored six goals in five games this series. Story continues below advertisement…
