The door was left open – and the Bruins skated right in.
OCTOBER BASEBALL IN MAY.
A MOTHER’S DAY look around as the Bruins sit seven wins away from the Stanley Cup:
THESE early spring conditions are not always a joy to be out in the woods and fields or on the open water, but there’s something magnetic about the pull to do it that will only be satisfied by getting out there. And with the added responsibility of having a column deadline, it’s not an option.
First, let’s get this out of the way quickly and succinctly: the Celtics lost to the Bucks because Milwaukee is a better team. Period.

THE BRUINS can win the Stanley Cup.
THE Manchester West High School baseball team may have only a slim chance to qualify for the NHIAA Division II tournament this season.
Unlike the 2018 NFL Draft, when the Cleveland Browns kept us guessing until practically draft night, the first overall pick seems to have been preordained for months.
THE BLOSSOMS coming out on the forsythia around the Dickster’s home are a sure bet that it won’t be long before our much anticipated runs of flounder and other saltwater migrating fish will begin. This is in reality the beginning of our fishing season, not some kind of number on the calendar!

AS A YOUNGSTER who was very avid about trout fishing when the weather was warm, but sad that the trout season didn’t start “officially” until May 1, I and my band of merry early-teen enthusiasts often just couldn’t stand the wait so we’d sneak into whatever trout water was ice-free and, using a unique set of advanced stealth methods, were able to avoid being caught most of the time, and never by a game warden.
Women’s hockey, it seems, takes two steps backward after every step forward.
