Submitted by: Haraden Bottomley & Jon Marcus For the last few months in Massachusetts, it seems as if every commercial, billboard, TV sporting event, and internet advertisement has featured a celebrity face touting a sportsbook offering hundreds of dollars in “free money.”  It sounds like an attractive offer, though some skeptics have responded: “There’s no such thing as free money.”  …

The initial shock of the Bruins’ collapse has faded and given way to a full-blown autopsy. Following exit interviews on Tuesday, the still-warm body of the 2022-23 season has been split wide open and exhaustedly examined with hindsight. But while every injury and lineup change has been meticulously second-guessed, there’s one question still unanswered: What happens next? This season was …

You could hear a pin drop in TD Garden. A historic season in which Boston was unquestionably the best team in hockey and seemed destined to lift the Stanley Cup was snuffed out in an instant when Carter Verhaeghe beat Jeremy Swayman 8:35 into overtime to clinch the series for Florida. It was a stunning and painful end for the …

Brad Marchand had the game on his stick. In the dying seconds of regulation, the Bruins’ stalwart winger broke through the Florida defense from center ice with a clean look at goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. Had he scored, not only would the roof of TD Garden blast into space, but he would’ve sent Florida packing for the summer. Instead, Bobrovsky made …

Soccer fans in New England have to be pleased with their team’s performance so far this season.  They sit on 20 points through the first 9 matches of 2023; the best points total in the league.  They’ve made light work of their opponents this season and have earned a 6-1-2 record.  That, mind you, includes an embarrassing 4 goal loss …

The Boston Bruins will return home with a chance to advance following an eventful 6-2 victory in Florida on Sunday afternoon. Boston swept both road games in Sunrise and now can eliminate the Panthers with a win on Wednesday. Linus Ullmark stood on his head again, stopping 41 of 43 shots before being relieved late. Offensively, Taylor Hall and Jake …

The Bruins bounced back from a poor performance on Wednesday to beat Florida 4-2 and regain the series lead 2-1.  Boston controlled the flow of play for the bulk of the night, rarely giving Florida any good chances. Despite not having Patrice Bergeron or David Krejci in the lineup, the Bruins held Florida to just twelve shots through two periods. …

Any thoughts of a quick first-round cakewalk for the Bruins quickly dissipated on Wednesday night following a 6-3 trouncing by Florida. The Panthers scored four goals in the third period to pull away from Boston and even the series at one. With Patrice Bergeron missing his second consecutive game, the Bruins looked just as choppy and disjointed as Monday night. …

The Bruins’ 2023 Stanley Cup Playoff campaign is off and running following a 3-1 victory in Game One against Florida on Monday night. Linus Ullmark led the way, saving thirty-one of thirty-two shots, and three different goal scorers chipped in to give the B’s an early series advantage. The day did not start on the right foot for Boston. Hours …

To pull back the curtain a bit, I usually have a decent idea of what I want to write about each week by about half-time of the Revolution match.  Sometimes it changes in the second half, but often times the story-lines are starting to establish themselves by mid-game.  By the end I even sometimes have a headline ready to go. …
