What a terrible third period. I look forward to never thinking about it again. #BU

I've said a lot of mean things about the "Bruins Night" abominations the Red Sox plan to give out for tonight's game, which in a nice thematic twist will feel like it's being played in your freezer. I don't want to pile on, though, so I'll point out the Revolution's "96 Collection" also stinks.

With the Crochet and Campbell extensions, the Red Sox have four pieces of their 2030 roster locked in, among the most in MLB. A franchise that's spent most of the last six years dragging out a payroll reset and playing on “the prospects” hope is, at last, something more tangible again.

The Red Sox traded Quinn Priester this morning, and also put that abomination crossover hockey jersey thing in my email. One of these things should be a crime, and I leave it to you to figure out which one I'm referring to.

Ryan Leonard has been in the NHL a week after signing out of BC. So far: - Debuted at the Garden with all his BC teammates there. - Scored an empty netter to cap the 894 game. - Sees Ovechkin score 895. That's a week.

Ryan Leonard. BC kid ruins everything. Tale as old as time.

Looking forward to the Red Sox 51st anniversary celebration of the 1975 team, which will get started immediately following today's final out.

That "Triston Casas is so annoying even Wally can't put up with it" insurance commercial is gonna hit a little different if this inning goes sideways.

A choice for you this morning. "I want to think about Rafael Devers." Here you go! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/30/s... "I would prefer not to think about Rafael Devers." Right this way! www.boston.com/sports/bosto... I am a full service whatever the hell I am.

I'm gonna think warmly about that UConn kid getting checked into the core of the earth as he was attempting a Michigan goal for the rest of the week.

Weather for the first three Revolution home games of the year: — High 20s, windy — High 20s, windy — Low 40s, gray and spitting rain Can't wait for MLS to adopt the Euro schedule so half the season can be like this!

Hockey East could put six teams in the NCAA Tournament, and a seventh just upset the No. 1 team in the country. Not bad.

In 1963, the Celtics won the title in Bob Cousy's last season . . . for several years. I prefer that 63 to tonight's.

You know those people who go to hockey games and just scream, "SHOOT! SHOOT! SHOOOOOOOT!" every time the puck is in the offensive zone? Don't you hate those people? I am now those people while watching the Revolution.

Collected stats for this article. Early days but 2025 #NERevs defense looks better than 2024. Offense, of course, isn’t producing yet. Revs now face Union, who have scored the most goals in MLS (8). The Union also have the most shots against (16) www.theblazingmusket.com/p/how-will-t...

Good piece from Emma on the Fleet, and timely for me I watched them live for the first time last night. Crowd was small, but that's expected on a Wednesday . . . no one draws midweek outside of the Bruins. But there was still a notable energy in the building often lacking in the minors/college.

"Welcome to Foxborough, Massachusetts," the announcer says over a shot of the Boston Harbor Hotel. It's nice that I can still find the motivation to care how stupid this is.

Two thoughts keep to mind: — Sox need to do what's best for business, but it would be nice if that phrase wasn't shorthand for "be crappy people." — To a lesser degree ... did they feel like they had to be that way with those two guys? Not an impossible thought, frankly.

Bregman thoughts, but also cigar thoughts, which clearly is what you're here for.

Alex Bregman was a real barometer of to what degree Red Sox were willing to compete in 2025. They could've lazily contended for the playoffs without him. Adding him as they did is an actual, concrete statement, and one that doesn't sacrifice their long term plan.

Fay Vincent was baseball's last actual commissioner. Eventually, he was fired because, in trying to put the important thing first, he made the rich people mad. Thank goodness that never happened again in any part of life, right?!

On the Globe's Luka story, someone commented "I’m afraid this might cut into Bronny’s minutes" and it is easily the funniest thing I've seen all day. Sometimes, the simple jokes are the best.

David Ortiz revisiting his "this is our [expletive] city" speech from the heart after the Boston Marathon bombing to pump up a simulator golf team playing in Florida and that has as much to do with the city as Boston Pizza . . . I know nothing's sacred, but good grief.
