Massachusetts’ top environmental regulator is taking heat after it “missed” records it had been asked to hand over in a records request.The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) asked the Superior Court Thursday to extend a deadline for summary judgment in what has become a brutal records request fight, with ExxonMobil hoping to shed light on the state’s failure to follow its own emissions rules. The records fight stems from Massachusetts’ years-long legal battle with Exxon over climate change, which began in 2019 when then-Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey alleged the company misled Massachusetts investors and consumers about climate-related risks…

Something’s got to give on log-jammed D corps The Bruins will be significantly shorthanded on their blue line entering the 2026-27 season, with Charlie McAvoy suspended for six games after whacking Zach Benson with his stick in Boston’s season-ending Game 6 loss to Buffalo. As such, it should come as little surprise that the Bruins are placing a premium on depth on D as they wait for their top blueliners to return. But as of right now, that means Boston is still set to open camp with 10 waiver-eligible defensemen on its roster: McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov, Will Borgen,…

A strange thing happens when I step outside my home in Park Slope, Brooklyn: I see Maine flags. Maine flags on hats, Maine flags on shirts, Maine flags on bags. I don’t recall if I’ve seen a Maine flag tattoo, but this is Brooklyn—we have every tattoo.The borough is more than 250 miles from Vacationland and an even greater psychological distance: The wonders of nature are so distant here that, at my daughter’s preschool, they sing “Twinkle Twinkle Traffic Light.” And yet, on a trip to the playground this past weekend, I saw two different parents wearing caps displaying Maine’s…

Head coach Bill O’Brien and defensive coordinator Ted Roof have a long enough standing relationship to fully understand what goes into a training camp scrimmage. They know how to prod and probe one another’s schemes and ideas in a way that challenges the other to stay on top of their individual development as coaches, and their head-to-head positional battles are more collaboration than anyone might perceive. Offenses compete against defenses, but their unstated and often underrated communicability enables both sides of the ball to improve each other by calling or implementing certain play calls.Heading into the second scrimmage of Boston…
