Good morning!
Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what's about to happen, for BSJ members only ...
• Update: I will be at Patriots today and Wednesday.
• Bruins and Tampa have Game 2 tonight and you have to expect a big Lightning answer tonight ... guessing they're going to try to body up the Bruins' forwards. Will be interesting to see how the Bruins respond. In the drivers seat right now and it feels like the Bruins just have Tampa's number for some reason.
• Conor looked at the Bruins' beefed-up power play.
• N'Keal Harry seemed to bounce back in yesterday's practice.
• I'm probably wrong about this, but the practice felt like Bill Belichick wanted to limit the coaching during plays to engage the players, and give the offense a midterm exam to see what needs to be worked on ... and a veteran defense was well ahead of the offense and Cam Newton, no surprise.
• Five pressing questions for Celtics-Raptors.
• Expect more deals from the Red Sox ... and worse play as a result (wonderful).
