A three-game skid had Boston University in dire need of a signature win entering the Beanpot semifinals Monday night. Cole Hutson delivered. After regulation and overtime weren’t enough to decide the Terriers’ (12-13-2) fourth one-goal finish against Northeastern this year, the Washington Capitals prospect tallied the tie-breaking goal on the final shootout attempt of a wild, 3-2 finish that propelled the defending Beanpot champions back to the championship game for a second straight year. It’s a battle of Commonwealth Ave once again against Boston College next Monday for the Beanpot title, and a rematch of a 4-1 loss for the…

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is seemingly in good shape heading into Super Bowl LX. Maye, who suffered a shoulder injury during his club’s victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship, inspired some confidence during his media availability during Super Bowl Opening Night on Monday. Mike Vrabel was pleased with how it responded following practice. Ashton Grant, who works more closely with the quarterback than perhaps anyone, said he “has no concerns” regarding the injury impacting the Super Bowl. NFL Media’s Scott Hanson seemingly missed all those updates, because he asked the sophomore signal-caller how he was feeling on stage…

SAN FRANCISCO — Speaking in a darkened corner of the Chase Center, home of his new NBA club, Al Horford shared his perspective on what’s transpired 3,000 miles away at TD Garden this season. No, he says, he isn’t surprised that the Celtics have exceeded expectations despite losing Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Luke Kornet, the injured Jayson Tatum and himself this offseason. In Horford’s view, the standards set by Joe Mazzulla and enforced by Jaylen Brown would not allow Boston to become noncompetitive. There is one aspect of the Celtics’ unexpectedly impressive season, however, that the 39-year-old big man did…

TAMPA — Once you get past the crazy entertainment value of the Bruins’ 6-5 shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning – the goalie fight, the questionable officiating, the cool spectacle of 65,000 engrossed in a hockey game – it all boiled down to two recurring themes for the B’s season. The first is that they left another point on the table, one that could be useful come April. The second is that they have their habit of taking a ridiculous amount of penalties to blame for it. It all unraveled for them in the second period as they had…

Brown has accomplished a lot during that decade, establishing himself as one of the best players in Celtics history. He’s made five All-Star teams, reached two NBA Finals and helped Boston win a championship in 2024, winning Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP that year. Now, in the midst of his best season yet, Brown is starting to think about his legacy. The 29-year-old knows and appreciates the Celtics’…

The New England Patriots have a history of tight ends delivering good performances in the Super Bowl. Could Hunter Henry be the latest player to join that list Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60? Henry has been a reliable target since he first joined the Patriots as a free agent before the 2021 season, and especially over the last two years since franchise quarterback Drake Maye was selected No. 3 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Henry’s 60 receptions and 783 receiving yards both were the second-most on the Patriots in the regular season, and his seven…

By FERNANDA FIGUEROA Whether it’s on indoors halfpipes in New Jersey or the Rocky Mountains slopes of Colorado and Wyoming, there seems to be plenty of programs aimed at developing a diverse new generation of skiers, skaters and snowboarders. Yet that work is not often reflected with the athletes seen at the Winter Olympics. A year before the last Winter Games in Beijing, former Canadian figure skater Elladj Baldé started the Skate Global Foundation, a group he says was inspired by his own experiences dealing with adversity as a skater of color. As athletes prepare to gather next month for…

Errors and strikeouts. If you’re a Red Sox fan you’re probably sick of seeing both of those things. The 2025 Red Sox led all of baseball in errors last year, after committing the second-most errors in 2024 and the fourth-most in 2023.The strikeout numbers don’t look much better, as Red Sox hitters finished with the eighth-most strikeouts in the baseball last year and the third-most in 2024.Errors and strikeouts are the two principal reasons why I was lukewarm on Eugenio Suarez, the third baseman who just signed a one-year, $15 million deal with the Cincinnati Reds. Suarez’s 17 errors were…
