There may not have been a Sen. Elizabeth Warren if it were not for John Walsh.He helped Warren rise from relative political obscurity to a seat in the U.S. Senate.Walsh is the respected, admired, and imitated Democrat political operative who died last week at age 65.At the time of his death, Walsh was U.S. Sen. Eddie Markey’s chief of staff, a position he took after he ran Markey’s successful 2020 re-election campaign, beating off a primary challenge by then-U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III.Markey called Walsh, a one-time Abington selectman and insurance agent, “a political genius” which in many ways he was. Walsh valued grassroots politics and attracting young people to the polls.Before hooking up with Markey, Walsh played a pivotal role in getting the then relatively unknown Democrat Deval Patrick elected as the state’s first black governor in 2006, and then re-elected four years later.In 2006 Walsh guided Patrick to a Democrat primary victory over Attorney General Tom Riley and Chris Ga...

But once he got over the blue line, Detroit sniper Alex DeBrincat picked his pocket and broke in on a clean breakaway to score to make it 2-0.The B’s never recovered on the scoreboard, but Poitras played well after that, ripping a shot that just missed the net on the next shift and then drawing a penalty late in the second period.“I thought (the response) was great. I told him that on the bench,” said coach Jim Montgomery. “I said, ‘You’re a player that has to carry the puck. You’re going to tur...
