16+ hour, 8+ min ago (1720+ words) Rhode Island has a talent for hiding big Italian flavors in unassuming neighborhoods, the kind where winter windows fog from simmering pots and the soundtrack shifts easily from soccer talk to debates about Sunday gravy. In Providence and the towns just beyond it, pasta isn't treated like a dish so much as a responsibility. You feel it in sauces that take their time, in kitchens where someone still salts the water like the sea without bothering to explain why, and in plates that arrive carrying more memory than decoration. Eating here often feels like being quietly assessed by tradition, as if a nonna somewhere is keeping score, nodding or frowning in approval. What makes these rooms special is how comfortably they hold contradictions. Red-check tablecloths sit beside crisp white ones. Families crowd one table while a couple marks an anniversary…...

19+ hour, 53+ min ago (352+ words) PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Springfield Thunderbirds (6-11-3-2) rode an otherworldly performance from their goalie to a 3-1 win over the Providence Bruins (17-5-0-0) on Sunday inside Amica Mutual Pavilion. Vadim Zherenko had the busiest first period of anybody in the building, as the T-Birds goaltender was subjected to 15 attempts in a furious first-period push by the Bruins. Zherenko stood his ground, relenting only a power-play one-timer to Georgii Merkulov. However, before Merkulov broke through, the T-Birds used their first shot on net of the day to get a fortuitous bounce and a 1-0 lead as Matthew Peca threw a puck off the legs of Hunter Skinner and through Michael DiPietro at 6:20 of the first period. Providence wound up outshooting Springfield by a 15-2 margin in the opening frame, but the T-Birds responded with a great start to the second, as Chris Wagner found open space in the…...
