NHL Notes: Road woes could be big playoff deal for Bruins
The Boston Bruins have a road problem that’s going to have to improve down the stretch if they hope to be a playoff team.

Hurley: What's really at stake in an A.J. Brown trade?
I wanted to provide one bit of perspective when it comes to the actual cost of acquiring A.J. Brown for the Patriots.

That way, perhaps we'll all be able to determine how we feel about coughing up a first-round pick, if that is indeed the high end of the asking price for Brown.
