General

Share this: The Boston Bruins were not in sync on Monday night in Ottawa as they fell to the Ottawa Senators 4-2. The Bruins had no execution and poor decision making throughout the entire game. Head coach Bruce Cassidy talked with NESN’s Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley after the game and gave credit to the Senators for creating turnovers in the neutral zone that prevented the Bruins from creating opportunities. Cassidy also said that the Bruins did not capitalize on creating traffic and anxiety around the net in the offensive zone contributing to the lack of scoring Monday night.

The 2017 World Baseball Classic kicked off Monday morning with a stunning upset: Israel, making its first-ever appearance in the WBC, shocked two-time tournament medalist Korea with a 2-1 win in extra innings.

Thomas led the Celtics with 35 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome 28 points from Bledsoe and a career-high 20 from Ulis. The Suns improve to 21-42 with the win, while the Celtics fall to 40-23.

Keselowski was able to overtake Larson at the end to earn the victory at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. During his post-race interview, however, Keselowski made what is sure to be the first of many slip-ups this season, when he referred to the Monster Cup race as a “Sprint Cup race.” The racing series, which was formerly

It completely changed it.” The Warriors’ star forward blamed the quiet atmosphere for the sloppy first half between the two clubs. “Did you see that first half?,” Green asked. “It was just bad, sloppy, all over the place. There was no rhythm to the game.
