The Boston Bruins’ 2017-18 season didn’t start off in the way they would have hoped.

But Boston managed to turn things around, turning in a 44-13-8 record in the remainder of the regular season en route to the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. In a recent sit-down interview with NESN’s Andy Brickley, Bruce Cassidy explained how his club righted the ship and became one of the premier teams in the East.

Here’s What Alex Cora Is Happiest About Amid Red Sox’s Stellar Start
BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox have been firing on all cylinders to start the 2018 season. The starting pitching has been superb, the hitting has been timely and the team’s resiliency has resulted in a few hard-fought, exciting wins. But for new Red Sox manager Alex Cora, what he’s happiest about through Boston’s 8-1 start to the campaign is what he’s seen with the gloves. “Defense,” Cora said prior to Tuesday’s game against the New York Yankees. “I know there’s numbers and errors and stuff that you take into consideration and errors are not as important as it was when we used to play. But when you make the routine play, you... NESN.com
Ezpeleta: “I respect the decisions taken by the stewards”
This is not the first time this situation has occurred, as Ezpeleta said: “It’s the same that happened some years ago in Sachsenring, where everybody took the start from the pitlane”. From then on, they’ve been planning for this situation: “We made the decision, shared by the majority of the teams, to start the way we did” [for the rider who made the right decision and did not move from the grid to start from his original position, while the others start from further back]. “That decision was taken for safety reasons, and it was the right decision”.

Deven Marrero Given Fresh Start After Red Sox Trade Infielder To Diamondbacks
Deven Marrero’s time as a member of the Boston Red Sox has ended. The utility man was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a player to be named later or cash considerations Saturday. Marrero struggled early in his career, especially at the plate batting .208 in 236 at-bats. Now a Diamondback, Marrero should see more opportunity with Arizona than he would have in Boston where he was battling for the final bench spot. For Jerry Remy and Dave O’Brien’s breakdown of the trade, check out the “NESN Sports Today” video above, presented by People’s United Bank. ... NESN.com
