BHN Puck Links: Boston Bruins’ McAvoy Bout Worth Watching Again

There are so many devoted Boston University hockey fans in the hockey media, and certainly there is crossover with the Boston Bruins having ex-Terriers Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk both on the Black and Gold’s NHL roster.

So there was a lot of attention paid last weekend when McAvoy dropped the gloves with ex-Boston University forward Joel Farabee during a contentious battle in the Bruins/Flyers Saturday night tilt and proceeded to beat the tar out of Farabee. It was so compelling, in fact, that we’re going to re-rack it here for the BHN Puck Links.

This is just another piece in the development of McAvoy into a do-everything defenseman for the Black and Gold. The key for the Bruins? Finding other defensemen that can pick up the slack in all areas with McAvoy truly carrying the mail for the Boston Bruins right now.
