Elliotte Friedman Confirmed A Worrying Report Regarding Team USA's Charlie McAvoy
Trusted NHL insider Elliotte Friedman just confirmed a worrying report regarding Boston Bruins, and Team USA's defenseman Charlie McAvoy and it's interesting.
Charlie McAvoy was a tank for Team USA when they faced off against their biggest rival in Team Canada, landing some massive hits on Canada's Connor McDavid, playing some big minutes, and some solid shut down defense.
Although he doesn't have any points in the two games against Finland, and Canada, McAvoy has averaged over 19 minutes in both games, and is expected to be a massive piece for them in the finals.
