The New England Patriots had a very difficult time protecting Drake Maye in the quarterback’s rookie season. It’s no secret, then, that improving the performance of the offensive line will be a point of emphasis in 2025.

The Bruins probably felt a weight lifted off their shoulders Saturday night. Sure, Boston was officially eliminated from Stanley Cup playoff contention for the first time since 2016 after the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Philadelphia Flyers, the latest disappointment in what’s been a tumultuous season for the B’s.

I thought Mike might've peaked on April 11, 2011, when he waxed poetic about "monkeys riding dogs herding goats." I was wrong. Few people understand this silly business like Mike. To say I'll miss working with him every day is the ultimate understatement. https://t.co/AUey53luBB

Here's a weird thing to say: Today is my final day at NESN. Bummed it's ending like it is, but I'm proud of what we built. So lucky to have worked with so many good, smart, talented people over 15 years. The sports were also quite good. I had fun. Pumped for whatever's next https://t.co/7nXvHRnQyB
