Player Discussion Charlie McAvoy - part III.

[Don Cherry]

I'm just not all that excited about him like I thought I'd be. It's very, very early but I'm a little underwhelmed so far.

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

Anyone concerned about McAvoys play thus far. He was a terrible mess last night. I know the whole team was bad in Vegas, but I don't think he's looked too good yet.

Hes not ray bourque... number of other rookie teen bruin dmen that have impresses me more in past 40 years?

Ill get back to you if i think of any... in the meantime are you sure your expectations are realistic?

 

[smithformeragent]

Ups and downs, ya know?

Young defenseman and all.

To be expected.

You seem like a really good fan who lives and dies with every game but try to enjoy it. He will be a good one when it's all said and done

 

[SoldiersOfFilth]

He is 1-3-4 and a +12 Corsi in 5 games.

He's doing fine.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Ups and downs, ya know?

Amen + even more so when he is tasked with creating offense. That's a riskier business than just being a stay at home D. Charlie is doing fine.

 

[KnightofBoston]

He's awesome. I'm blown away by how good he is this early in his career at his age on a team that has a lot of holes right now.

Can't imagine him at 25... look out

He's not constantly impressing every shift like he was in the Ottawa series, but as someone else said, he's 1-3-4 in 5 games (the first 5 games of his career) and he's NINETEEN years old. He's doing very well and he's way ahead of his time. He's only going to get better as the season goes on, but obviously he's still a teenager so he's going to have his fair share of mistakes and slumps.

Compare McAvoy now to Hamilton at 19... Crazy difference.

 

[Gee Wally]

Would this be the same 19 year old Charlie McAvoy we are talking about. The one with 11 career games under his belt? You know about 3 weeks worth of experience?
Never been in the minors?
Teenager I say? Nah, ....gotta be somebody else right?

This f***ing place......................

You excuse making machine, the kid is 19, not 18, he`s a first round pick playing, from what I have read for decades, the easiest of positions which we constantly see youngsters stepping in with ease, taking on 20+ minutes all the time. Take off those rose colored glasses will ya

 

[Kegs]

Looks good to me. Seen a few mistakes. He will learn. I see a high defensive cieling for this guy. First year in the nhl and only a hand full of games in. Patients folks

Wait what? I actually see very few young dmen come in and be effective in any way. Especially defensively. Ive seen some with some offencive punch. But that shut down d that actually wins u cups is something that takes some time to develope. Almost every great shut down d man didnt blossom until well into their 20's. Even seth jones took a year to really turn elite. And he was touted as the best pick of the draft no? Normally what u say is pretty accurate but to say young dmen step into the nhl and take on the "easy"'tasks is common is absurd.

ODDAT was being sarcastic.

Jay-zooos!

 

[Kegs]

Lollll. Doh. See i knew something was off. :,(

 

[bob27]

Can't believe he's only at 65 point pace, was expecting more from a teenage rookie defenceman.

me thinks you overlooked the sarcasm emojji on my post

been there done that myself. I am super optimistic about the kid

A bum, let's trade him!

I thought McAvoy has looked great so far... Maybe I'm not watching the same games? He's made mistakes, but from what I seen, he has made less than the other Dmen out there (Chara included). He's made less mistakes this season than Krug made in the entire first game against the Avs.

Where's the facepalm emoji when you need it.

McAvoy has been good and at times, very good. The kid has a very bright future and we are lucky to have him.

 

[KnightofBoston]

I was annoyed when the Bruins passed on Chychrun but when I saw Charlie play against Ottawa and now this season I'm definitely not anymore

it seems like literally nothing about this team excites you.

you haven't been around here long but you're already the most negative person here.
