Entering the Boston Bruins game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night at the TD Garden, their\u00a0second matchup in four days, superstar David Pastrnak was looking for his next goal, which would have been the\u00a0400th of his career.<\/p>\n
Late in the first period, with the Bruins clinging to a 3-1 lead, Pastrnak was whistled for a penalty. The penalty carried over to the second period after Boston killed the first 91 seconds. They successfully killed the rest of it inside the first minute of the middle period. Pastrnak was sent in on a breakaway coming out of the box and took a lot of weight off of his shoulders when he beat Maple Leafs goalie Dennis Hildeby for a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n
Pastrnak joins Johnny Bucyk, Phil Esposito, Patrice Bergeron, former teammate Brad Marchand, and Rick Middleton as 400-goal scorers for the Bruins.<\/p>\n
Pastrnak has 39 goals since Jan. 1, which leads the NHL, and teammate Morgan Geekie was second with 36. It was fitting that he picked up one of the assists on Pastrnak’s milestone goal.<\/p>\n
It was only a matter of time before Pastrnak scored the milestone goal. It was his ninth goal of the season. He could have scored it earlier in the game, as Boston had three first-period power plays and scored on two of them. Pavel Zacha scored the first one off a pass from Pastrnak when a pass hit his skate and found its way into the net.<\/p>\n
Those have been some of the breaks that the Black and Gold have been getting during their winning streak, just like the pass from Geekie to send Pastrnak in alone to score his 400th goal early in the second period.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0are off to a 2-7 start, and fans have called for head coach Kevin Stefanski to be fired.<\/p>\n
However, it is unlikely that Stefanski\u00a0will be fired this season. Meanwhile, Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot revealed that he is likely to return in 2026. General manager Andrew Berry is also expected back, according to Cabot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truth is, we have no idea what they are actually really thinking,\u201d Cabot\u00a0said on 92.3 The Fan. \u201cI know going into it, Jimmy Haslam has indicated, I believe at the owner\u2019s meetings, that he wasn\u2019t holding Kevin and Andrew\u2019s feet to the fire because this was the year they were trying to figure out what they had in one of these rookie quarterbacks. Or, at least at that point, they knew it was going to be one rookie quarterback.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think there was this sense of \u2018win or else\u2019 this season. It was about fact-finding and figuring out what they had and helping them inform what to do in the 2026 draft. I just don\u2019t think this was a year where the expectations were super, crazy high. But, still, you have to see certain things from your football team. \u2026 I do think that Jimmy believes in continuity and alignment in his organization. And, he knows that this is a challenging year with all of the rookies. In a perfect world, he\u2019s going to want to try to maintain that continuity. And, see if they can\u2019t get this thing on the right track with a new quarterback they will probably draft in 2026.<\/p>\n
Cabot believes Haslam still has confidence in Berry and Stefanski, and both could very well return next season with a new quarterback.<\/p>\n
Cleveland has struggled this season as the Browns are off to a 2-7 start and coming off a disappointing 27-20 road loss to the\u00a0New York Jets.<\/p>\n
Following the loss, Stefanski made it clear that the goal and focus are on turning it around and finding ways to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously frustrated, disappointed on that result yesterday,\u201d Stefanski\u00a0said\u00a0on Monday. \u201cAnd we\u2019re spending time right now watching it with the players and trying to learn from that. You know, hard to win on the road, and certainly hard when you do some of the things we did in that ball game. But we\u2019re committed to this thing, and we\u2019ll just find ways to get better in all areas and we\u2019ll go from there. Big division game at our place this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stefanski believes the Browns have to be better in all three phases of the game. Despite that being an issue all season, he has full confidence in his group.<\/p>\n
The Browns will host the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0on Sunday in a game Cleveland\u00a0is a 7.5-point underdog.<\/p>\n
Although Stefanski hasn\u2019t been fired, and there are no signs he will be, his name has come up for other jobs.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0fired Brian Daboll on Monday after a loss to the\u00a0Chicago Bears. Following Daboll\u2019s firing, NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky\u00a0links\u00a0Stefanski to the Giants.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe No. 1 name that I would pay attention to if I were the\u00a0Giants\u00a0is what happens in Cleveland with Kevin Stefanski,\u201d Orlovsky\u00a0said\u00a0on Monday on NFL Live. \u201cIf I could hand-pick a guy, it would be Stefanski. He\u2019s an outstanding coach, two-time Coach of the Year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand people in Cleveland are like, \u2018This guy can\u2019t coach\u2019. But there\u2019s a lot of empirical data that would say otherwise. \u2026 I would pay attention to see what\u2019s going on in Cleveland.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stefanski has been the Browns\u2019 head coach since 2020 and has led them to the playoffs twice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
