Rangers throttle Bruins, 7-4

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 07:51:43 GMT

The eye test has told us over the last week that the Bruins are not really the best team in the NHL . Now the standings confirm it.The New York Rangers leapfrogged the B’s into the league’s top spot by points percentage for the time being with a 7-4 win at Madison Square Garden. It was the first time the B’s have lost two games in a row, and in regulation no less.But much more troubling than the standings is how the product has looked lately. Counting the B’s 3-1 win over Florida, the B’s allowed 18 goals in four games in the week.Again, the B’s started horribly and found themselves in a hole early. They played well in spurts and did tie the game twice. But the performance could not be categorized as good by any means, and with far-too-taxed Linus Ullmark having a merely average outing, the B’s got the result they could have gotten on many other outings this year if not for great goaltending.The first period was a wild, see-saw 20 minutes th...

Thanks to goals from Sean Fernandez-Davila and Brady Poor, the Patriots knocked off a perennial state finalist in Needham, completing an unbeaten season while winning their first championship since 2011.After a miraculous finish by Oliver Ames to capturie the 2022 Div. 2 boys soccer crown, somehow the Tigers (19-3-1) managed to outdo themselves.

They went right back to the title bout, where Joey Carney sniped a game-ending goal in overtime to deliver the Tigers a second straight championship. It was the fifth Div. 2 title for the team in the past decade.The Div. ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Donald Trump is using a college football rivalry weekend to bask among his supporters in a state and region that are key to his presidential fortunes, while potentially upstaging his Republican opponent Nikki Haley on her home turf.The former president and current front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination will be on hand Saturday when South Carolina hosts Clemson, Haley’s alma mater, in the annual Palmetto Bowl.Trump’s campaign has not detailed his itinerary.

Hamas to release 13 Israelis, 7 foreigners for 39 Palestinians after hours-long delay, mediators say

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 07:51:43 GMT

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Hamas agreed to release 13 Israelis and seven foreigners late Saturday in exchange for 39 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, Qatari and Egyptian mediators said, after the militant group delayed the second round of swaps for several hours and claimed that Israel had violated the terms of a truce deal. The last-minute delay had created a tense standoff on the second day of what's meant to be a four-day cease-fire. By nightfall, as the hostages should have emerged from Gaza, Hamas alleged that the aid deliveries permitted by Israel fell short of what was promised and that not enough of it was reaching northern Gaza — the focus of Israel's ground offensive and main combat zone. Hamas also said not enough veteran prisoners were freed in the first swap on Friday.“This is putting the deal in danger,” Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, said in Beirut. But Egypt, Qatar and Hamas itself later said obstacles had been overcome, and Hamas listed six women and 3...
