Simone's Six: Missed shots, counter-attacks, and Derrick White's Super Bowl bet from Celtics-Knicks
Heading into Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics had played eight games on the same day that the New England Patriots appeared in the Super Bowl. They were 7-1 in those games. The only loss? In 2015. That night, the Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks. So, if there’s any positive to take away from the Celtics’ ugly 111-89 loss to the New York Knicks on this year’s Super Bowl Sunday, it’s that they may have unintentionally rejuvinated that same trend from over a decade ago. Other than that… brutal.
BSJ Game Report: Hornets 118, Celtics 89 - Boston gets blown out
TD Garden applied for a construction permit on Wednesday night. Unfortunately for the Boston Celtics, they were the ones getting bulldozed.
NHL Notes: Olympics both compliment and concern for B's
The obvious take about the Boston Bruins and the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina is that it’s a great reflection on their roster talent that they sent nine total players from the organization to the Olympic hockey tournament taking place in Italy. Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman were all decked out in their Team USA gear for Friday’s opening ceremonies, and David Pastrnak was honored as one of the flag bearers for Team Czechia during those same opening ceremonies. It was an honor that the 29-year-old was incredibly humbled and honored by, and it speaks to how big of a deal No. 88 is in a home country where he’s going to be mentioned in the same breath as legends like Jaromir Jagr when it’s all said and done.
Giardi: Patriots could eye future at the offensive tackle spot in NFL Draft
Bottom line, right or wrong (or somewhere in between), the Pats believe Campbell will be better in year two, and the idea of using a high pick on that spot - when there are more pressing concerns in their mind - would be a waste of resources
Bedard: Release of Stefon Diggs could set up bigger move for Patriots
The Patriots have informed receiver Stefon Diggs that he will be released when the new league year begins.
Giardi: NFL Notebook - Don't worry about Gonzalez yet; plus, more on Mad Maxx
Both Mike Vrabel and Eliot Wolf have preached their desire to keep the cornerback around for the foreseeable future, so where’s the deal?
BSJ Game Report: Celtics 109, Hawks 102 - Pritchard halts streaking Atlanta
Once again, the Boston Celtics got hounded by ball pressure. The Atlanta Hawks brought it in waves the last time these two teams squared off, and they did the same to begin Friday night's game.
Giardi: Should the Patriots take another safety in this year's draft?
With Byard's age and perhaps a lack of a suitable long-term solution alongside Woodson, safety is a need. Would Vrabel and company want one on day one? Feels unlikely. After that, the door is open.
Celtics Practice Notebook: A WWE appearance, Jayson Tatum thoughts, and accepting the noise
The Boston Celtics don’t have much time to practice once the season gets underway, but Tuesday afternoon provided one of those rare opportunities. These were some of the main stories to come out of the Auerbach Center.
Haggerty: B's second line continues to bring bit of everything
The Bruins scored their third goal of Thursday night’s game in the closing minutes of the second period on a scramble by the second line with each of the three forwards crashing the net and attacking the puck. It was very unclear after the puck popped up in the air and bounced off a Winnipeg defender’s glove as to which player actually scored the goal. It was eventually credited to Viktor Arvidsson, but Arvidsson, Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt all stood there in comic bewilderment not sure as to which player should lead the fist bump honors as the goal scorer. “Yeah, it took a long time for us to figure it out…we still haven’t figured it out,” said a smiling Arvidsson. “It’s fine. It went in and that’s the most important thing.” The three forwards had a good laugh about it after the game while helping power the Bruins to a 6-1 thrashing of the Winnipeg Jets at TD Garden on Thursday night. The victory keeps the Bruins implanted in the No. 1 wild card playoff spot, but it is going to be a wild finish with three playoff spots essentially for four teams in Boston, Detroit, Columbus and the New York Islanders that have just a single point separating them in the Eastern Conference standings.
Haggerty: McAvoy stepping up as tough leader Bruins need
This season has not been fun for Charlie McAvoy in a lot of respects, and it has undoubtedly come at a personal cost given the hits he has taken to his mouth and chin. But those moments of discomfort and painful adversity have also come amidst some tremendous high points in perhaps the biggest season of personal growth in McAvoy’s NHL career. There was another high point, and low moment, for McAvoy on Tuesday night as he scored the overtime game-winner in a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings at TD Garden and lost more teeth after taking another puck to the mouth.
