    Harris: For Bruins' David Pastrnak, best is yet to come

He had two goals and two assists in his first 10 games, then was sidelined for 21 games with a broken foot, had three AHL stints in Providence and spent time with Team Czech Republic at the world junior tournament.But the ..

  • Data suggests Boston College would be better off leaving the ACC

    COMMENTARY When Boston College announced it was joining the Atlantic Coast Conference back in 2003, the news was met with great enthusiasm. The school’s “revenue” teams—football and basketball—were strong, and theoretically would only get stronger. But things haven’t worked out that way, and after year 11 in the ACC, it’d be hard to say that anyone is really feeling that enthusiasm any longer. The time may have come for BC to consider switching conferences, because there is a mountain of data..

    Celtics Anticipate Difficult Stretch Without Crowder
    WALTHAM, Mass. – The next couple of weeks will be a major test for the Boston Celtics, as they will continue their playoff push without the presence of Jae Crowder. The starting forward sprained his right ankle on a drive to the rim during Friday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, and C’s coach Brad Stevens announced after Sunday’s practice that he will miss two weeks minimum. Crowder has arguably been Boston’s most versatile defender this season. His ability to guard 3 through 5 enables the t..

    FORT MYERS, Fla. — Matt Barnes and Heath Hembree are expected to begin 2016 at Triple-A Pawtucket. But Barnes, Hembree and the other depth relievers are more important to the Red Sox's success than you might realize. Boston and other major league teams use seven relievers on a 25-man roster at one time. When everyone's healthy, Craig Kimbrel, Koji Uehara, Carson Smith, Junichi Tazawa, Robbie Ross Jr., Tommy Layne and Steven Wright are the top seven relievers expected to be on Boston's 25-man r..

    FORT MYERS, Fla. รข€”  It's only spring training. And yes, spring training stats mean very little.
