I have no use for this stat now but…
The #NERevs have won away at Montreal each of the last two seasons. Their records after that?
2025: 2W-4D-12L (0.55ppg)
2024: 1W-2D-7L (0.5ppg)
Maybe a draw was just what they needed.

Not sure how I feel about this.
Wide forwards get into good spots in the #NERevs current setup (see Yow’s miss yesterday).
But, they’ve been trying to push Peyton Miller up to FW, Langoni has looked good wide and Campana still exists. Are those guys bench options, moving positions…or teams?

First half thoughts
🔘 CLT pressing high - #NERevs mostly resistant against the press so far. Sands holding up well vs Zaha.
🔘 Revs methodical in buildup but at a height disadvantage on crosses
🔘 NE giving up juicy opportunities on the counter when they lose possession

Matt Turner looked like his old self in his half-season last year with the #NERevs.
While he hasn't quite hit his usual numbers so far in 2026 (just 4 games), he has provided value over every non-Djordje-Petrovic Revs keeper since he left in 2022.

We've gotten a few hints but more smoke suggesting Chancalay could move this offseason.
If Raines joins the #NERevs as a U22, he would be the 4th on the roster.
New England would need to switch to the 2-4-2 model (2DPs, 4 u22s, $2M GAM) from the 3-3 model (3DPs, 3 u22s).

More details, per sources:

Raines hits Revs roster via U-22 initiative.
