David Pastrnak received plenty of praise from his Bruins teammates and head coach Jim Montgomery after he answered Matthew Tkachuk’s request to drop the gloves in Boston’s Game 2 loss at Amerant Bank Arena on Wednesday. But given it’s such a rarity to see the star forward take part in extracurriculars, even Tkachuk had to […]
The Bruins head back to Boston after losing Game 2 on Wednesday, and it could have depth on the blue line in the homestand. Florida beat the Black and Gold, 6-1, at Amerant Bank Arena to even up the second-round series at one apiece. Game 2 was highlighted by multiple melees in the final minutes […]
Matthew Tkachuk got what he wanted from David Pastrnak in a nasty, penalty-filled Game 2 between the Panthers and Bruins. Florida tied the Stanley Cup playoffs second-round series with a 6-1 win over Boston on Wednesday night. With the game out of hand already, Tkachuk and Pastrnak took center stage at center ice and did […]
We’ve officially reached the point in the Bruins vs. Panthers second-round Stanley Cup playoffs series where Boston and Florida don’t like each other. There already was potential for bad blood — Florida knocked off Boston in a seven-game, first-round battle last season — but tempers flared Wednesday night during the third period of the Panthers’ […]
Charles Barkley had plenty of run-ins with the Celtics over the course of his Hall of Fame career, but when it comes to the Knicks, the enemy of his enemy is his friend. Barkley didn’t hold back Wednesday night during a segment on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” during coverage of the playoffs. The former Philadelphia […]
The Boston Bruins obviously weren’t happy with their performance against the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series Wednesday night. But the Black and Gold aren’t about to let it marinate. Immediately after the Panthers tied the series with a 6-1 victory at Amerant Bank Arena, Bruins captain Brad Marchand, goaltender Jeremy […]
David Pastrnak was ready and willing to go outside his comfort zone and step up for Bruins teammates Wednesday night. However, Boston’s premier goal scorer knows he didn’t put his best foot forward in a space he rarely occupies. Pastrnak, playing in his ninth NHL season, logged only the second fight of his career in […]
Patrick Beverley won’t play another game this season, and the Milwaukee Bucks guard will start the 2024-25 campaign a bit later than others, as well. The NBA on Thursday announced it has suspended Beverley four games without pay for “forcefully throwing a basketball multiple times at spectators and an inappropriate interaction with a reporter.” Both […]
A 2008 Boston Celtics champion was sentenced to prison Thursday. Glen Davis was sentenced to 40 months in prison, along with three years of supervised release, after he was convicted in November for defrauding the NBA’s healthcare plan, per Alex Prewitt. Former Celtics guard Terrence Williams, who was the ringleader of the scheme, was sentenced […]
It turns out the Red Sox and the Braves weren’t done taking care of business when they wrapped up their two-game series Wednesday night at Truist Park. Boston traded Zack Short to Atlanta in exchange for cash considerations, the club announced Thursday afternoon. The deal was executed one day after the Red Sox designated Short […]
It seemed like nothing was out of bounds in “The Roast of Tom Brady,” but there seemed to be one exception. Veteran roaster Jeff Ross referred to a past legal incident involving New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. The joke played well to the audience, but Brady went out of his seat to tell Ross […]
Neither Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery nor David Pastrnak seemed to appreciate the extra punches thrown by Florida Panthers’ Matthew Tkachuk during a third-period bout in Boston’s 6-1 defeat on Wednesday night. But Montgomery does not anticipate any of the 12 third-period misconducts will spill over into Game 3. A heightened competitiveness and physicality, maybe, […]
David Pastrnak entered Wednesday night’s game with only one career NHL fight under his belt, but the Bruins star was ready to rumble at Amerant Bank Arena. Pastrnak’s bout with Matthew Tkachuk was the main event of a string of fisticuffs in Game 2 between Boston and Florida. After watching several Bruins teammates receive 10-minute […]
Mike Rupp is a believer in the Bruins, in large part because of what he saw from David Pastrnak in an otherwise discouraging night for Boston. The Bruins didn’t have their best stuff Wednesday night, and it cost them. The Florida Panthers ran the B’s out of the building to the tune of a 6-1 […]
Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery took blame for Boston’s eye-popping substitution issues after the Black and Gold were whistled for another violation against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night. The Bruins were called for a too many men on the ice penalty in the second period of their eventual 6-1 loss at Amerant Bank Arena. […]
Jim Montgomery does not believe the reason the Florida Panthers scored four goals on Jeremy Swayman in Game 2 is because the Boston Bruins goaltender has been overworked this postseason. Montgomery, who pulled Swayman less than two minutes into the third period, pushed back on that narrative after Boston’s eventual 6-1 loss at Amerant Bank […]
Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak both put their stamp on Wednesday night’s tilt at Amerant Bank Arena, but not in the way the Bruins stars typically do. Marchand and Pastrnak each took their physicality and aggressiveness up a notch in Boston’s Game 2 loss to Florida. The Bruins captain received a 10-minute misconduct for going […]
The Boston Bruins on Thursday made a roster move. General manager Don Sweeney announced the Black and Gold assigned Patrick Brown to Providence. The 31-year-old was recalled before Game 1 against the Florida Panthers. Brown logged 8:27 time on ice and won 71.4% of his faceoffs in Boston’s Game 1 win Monday night. The veteran […]
Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman didn’t hold any hard feelings Wednesday night after he was pulled two minutes into the third period of Boston’s Game 2 loss to the Florida Panthers. Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters after the eventual 6-1 loss he considered sitting Swayman after two periods. Montgomery indicated it wasn’t because of […]
Sheldon Keefe won more than 100 games he lost, but just like almost every other Maple Leafs coach before him, he couldn’t secure the ultimate prize. As a result, it cost the head coach his job. The Maple Leafs fired Keefe on Thursday after his five seasons with Toronto. The move comes just a few […]
“The Roast of Tom Brady” surpassed fans’ expectations, and the biggest star of the Netflix special arguably was Nikki Glaser. When the former New England Patriots quarterback threw a jab at Kim Kardashian, Glaser knew nothing would be off limits. So the comedian torched Brady for his divorce from Gisele Bündchen and his past relationship […]
Several Bruins were ready to fight Wednesday night at Amerant Bank Arena, including a player who very rarely drops the gloves. David Pastrnak accepted a challenge from Matthew Tkachuk in the third period of Game 2 between the Atlantic Division rivals. Fighting is not a part of Pastrnak’s game, but with Florida blowing the doors […]
The Charlotte Hornets on Thursday named Boston Celtics assistant Charles Lee the franchise’s 12th head coach. The first-time head coach will receive a four-year deal, and he’ll begin his new venture after the C’s playoff run. Charlotte last month secured permission to interview Lee and other candidates after Steve Clifford was relieved of his duties […]
The Panthers overwhelmed the Bruins on Wednesday night, but a heavyweight bout stole the show in the third period. Florida evened up the best-of-seven series after it beat Boston, 6-1, at Amerant Bank Arena. The B’s literally fought back, but will have to wait until Game 3 on Friday to try to retake the series […]
Fisticuffs were aplenty in Bruins-Panthers Game 2 on Wednesday night at Amerant Bank Arena. The main event was Matthew Tkachuk vs. David Pastrnak, who strayed from his norm to step up for Boston. But before Pastrnak dropped the gloves amid a blowout, six (!) Bruins were sent to the dressing room for 10-minute misconducts. One […]
