It’s what ultimately drove his recent decision to decline Canada’s offer to play in the international tournament and focus on...
RJ Barrett's epic shot echoes another legendary Raptors moment
TORONTO — As RJ Barrett walked from the Toronto Raptors’ locker room to the playoffs-only interview room after his team’s dramatic Game 6 win, he repeated the same phrase to himself.“Kawhi bounce,” Barrett said, putting on an unidentifiable accent. “Kawhi bounce.”Well, not precisely. Kawhi Leonard’s mythic shot that sent the Raptors to the Eastern Conference final in 2019 came from the baseline and needed four bounces off the rim — each one softer than the last, before falling through. The antic...

ST. LOUIS — His name is Tony Holmes, but if you’re an NHL fan, you likely know him as “Tony X.”For those who aren’t familiar, or need a refresher, Holmes was at his apartment in St. Louis on April 25, 2016, planning to watch a St. Louis Cardinals game on TV.

Canadiens’ big-picture Game 7 opportunity outweighs Game 6 disappointment
MONTREAL — When Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis was asked just before flying to Tampa, Fla., to face the Lightning in Game 5 of this riveting first-round playoff series whether the massive hit Max Crozier laid on Juraj Slafkovský would be the defining moment of this series, his answer was very matter-of-fact.“Don’t let moments like that define it,” he responded. “Re-write it.”The Canadiens have already done that.Advertisement
Inside the Buffalo Sabres' series-clinching win: 'Let’s go get the next one'
BOSTON — Lindy Ruff decided the Buffalo Sabres didn’t need a morning skate on Friday. He wanted players to go to TD Garden just once, ready to play Game 6 and end the series against the Boston Bruins. He wanted the morning to be relaxed for players. They did some video work and off-ice stretching. And then inside a conference room at the Four Seasons, Ruff delivered a simple message in the team meeting.“I said, ‘We are going to win the series. We’re going to win the game,’” Ruff said.Advertiseme...
Boston Bruins reflect on season after 6 unexpected playoff games: 'Surprised a lot of people'
BOSTON — The Boston Bruins played six playoff games in 2025-26. It was six more than most observers believed after a 76-point 2024-25 season.“You expect more of yourself,” Nikita Zadorov said after Friday’s year-ending 4-1 Game 6 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in Round 1. “We only had high expectations in here about each other, and we pushed each other. But also it’s a step forward year for us. Nobody put us in the conversation in the summer. Nobody put us in the conversation in the season. We surpr...
Andrei Vasilevskiy saved his best for Lightning in Game 6: 'Best goalie in the world'
MONTREAL — Andrei Vasilevskiy had no clue what the message was in his dressing room before overtime Friday night.That didn’t seem to concern him.“To be honest, I didn’t really hear. I was kind of one-on-one with my thoughts,” the first star of Game 6 said. “Same as the crowd here. I don’t hear anything. Same as in the locker room. I don’t listen to anything.”Which made the media members chuckle.“No, seriously, too much is going on in my head to listen,’’ Vasilevskiy said.
Pete Alonso returns to New York with blast for Baltimore, no hard feelings for miserable Mets
NEW YORK — In the end, there was no communication. No congratulatory phone call, no promise to stay in touch, no warm wishes for the future. Pete Alonso was the ex, the Baltimore Orioles were his new partner, and the New York Mets had moved on. It was their decision to break up.Alonso was the Mets’ career home run king and a homegrown part of their soul. Last December, the Orioles gave him the long-term commitment the Mets never would — five years, $155 million — in free agency. Alonso talked wi...
