He's exactly what many of us thought he was. I've said for years, "If McAvoy is your #2 Dman you're a contender." #1? not so much.
I also took a lot of heat last Summer for posting here that if Charlie and Pasta are next in line for Captaincy, the Bruins are in trouble.
I took a LOT of heat, but I stand by it.
Anyway, when the season began, I didn't expect them to make the playoffs. Before this series I didn't expect them to beat the Leafs, and I thought it folly for them to lose the last game in order to draw the Leafs (IF that's what they did, I've no proof!)
I admit, after games 1, 3 and 4, I did think they'd win, but I think we're seeing the team's true colors.
I supported Sweeney's deadline moves to go for it, and with potential reward often comes risk, so I've enjoyed more playoff games than I expected to and now I'll see what the future holds with plenty of cap space and almost no draft picks!
