The Boston Bruins seemed to have a fire lit under them in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series against the Ottawa Senators. And it might have been the Sens’ own fault. The Bruins were able to win to pick up the 3-2 win in overtime Friday after falling behind 2-0 in the second period while facing elimination. But Boston coach Bruce Cassidy thought it might’ve had something to do with what was said to David Krejci after the Bruins forward took a knee-on-knee hit from Senators defenseman Chris Wideman at the end of the opening period. “I think when the hit on Krejci, when they started chirping (Krejci), I think

David Coulthard Thinks Lewis Hamilton Could Say ‘F—k It,’ Leave F1
Nico Rosberg’s battle with Lewis Hamilton on the way to winning the 2016 Formula One driver championship was so mentally taxing the German retired just weeks after the final race. However, the up-and-down season took its toll on Hamilton too, and David Coulthard reportedly thinks he could make a similarly dramatic exit from the sport. The former F1 driver and commentator for the U.K.’s Channel 4 told Express he thinks the Mercedes-AMG Petronas is becoming disinterested with the series, and could announce his retirement even before the season ends. “It wouldn’t take much for him to say, for want of a better word, ‘F–k it. Thank you, I’m ... NESN.com
David Ortiz Reportedly Hasn’t Expressed Interest In World Baseball Classic
It seems David Ortiz is enjoying his retirement. The former Boston Red Sox designated hitter has been appearing in a multitude of commercials, and despite his cliffhanger tweet Monday night, it appears he’s not planning on returning to the diamond. Not even to play for his home country. Even though Ortiz won’t be showing up to spring training for the Red Sox in March, the slugger hasn’t shown any interest in playing for the Dominican Republic in this year’s World Baseball Classic, according to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, citing team general manager Moises Alou. Ortiz wasn’t a member of the Dominican Republic team that won th... NESN.com
Dave Dombrowski: Red Sox Still Aren’t Sure How To Replace David Ortiz
There’s a gaping hole in the Boston Red Sox’s lineup heading into 2017 and beyond. Of course, that hole is due to the retirement of designated hitter David Ortiz, and while his numbers might be replicable (though it’ll be hard), his presence certainly isn’t. Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski caught up with the media Monday during the GM Meetings in Boca Raton, Fla. to break down the team’s thoughts on a replacement. “And then the other thing which I’m not sure which direction we’re going to go, you know, how do we replace David (Ortiz) in the lineup,” Dombrowski explained. “And I’m not sure if we’re ...

David Ross Makes History To Help Cubs Keep World Series Hopes Alive
The Chicago Cubs have lived to see another day, and they have their 39-year-old catcher in part to thank. The Cubs staved off elimination at Wrigley Field on Sunday night, defeating the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in Game 5 of the World Series to force a Game 6 in Cleveland on Tuesday. David Ross was right in the thick of the action, delivering what proved to be the game-winning RBI in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Ben Zobrist from third base. That run gave Chicago a 3-1 lead, and while the Indians made it 3-2 in the sixth with a Francisco Lindor RBI single, Cubs closer
Red Sox’s Quest To Get David Ortiz One Last Ring Off To Lackluster Start
Hanley Ramirez revealed in a recent Players’ Tribune post that the Boston Red Sox set a goal in spring training to get David Ortiz a World Series ring in his final season. And so far, that plan is not going not going well at all. Well, it was going well, for a while, at least. The Red Sox surpassed all their expectations in the regular season, pulling themselves out of the American League East’s basement to win the division with a 93-69 record. But since their postseason actually has begun, it’s been a poor showing all-around. Game 1 of their AL Division Series against Cleveland saw ace Rick Porcello give up five runs over
