Joey Logano Not Fazed By Chase Finish: ‘You’re Not A Loser ‘Til You Quit’
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Joey Logano remembers well how his quest for a 2015 Sprint Cup championship effectively came to an end, and most NASCAR fans do, too. There’s no reason, then, to rehash the you-wreck-me, I-wreck-you exchange with Matt Kenseth that doomed both their title hopes. Still, the scent of their literal run-ins was all over the Daytona 500 Club at media day Tuesday, whenever Logano’s name was introduced without “defending champion” attached to it. Despite finishing a distant fifth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup standings, though, Logano shrugged off suggestions that last season — as well as this coming season — should be cons...

In addition to picking up two points, though, the Black and Gold picked up a few players as well, as Patrice Bergeron and Adam McQuaid rejoined the lineup following injuries. “When you look at how long (Adam McQuaid’s) been out … I thought he handled himself well for his first game,” Bruins coach Claude Julien told NESN’s Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley following the win. “A couple of glitches here or there, but no different than most of our players tonight. So I thought he was good for his first game
