Charlie McAvoy made his NHL debut in the playoffs two years ago against Ottawa when BU got bumped from the Frozen Four and the Bruins D was depleted by injuries. Yes they ultimately lost the series but he made an immediate impact, earning praise and respect from Erik Karlsson afterwards.

If I’m being honest to myself, the Flames played pretty badly the second game and Avs deserved the win.
Flames second goal was completely against the flow and I was just waiting for Avs to blow us away. Time difference between each team in the offensive zone was ridiculous.
Brodie was bloody useless and could be blamed for at least 1 goal.
Maybe so, but he rose to the moment and was their best defenseman in the series as a 19-yr old kid and showed that he could handle the pressure.
Yes. He may have done well. My point still stands. I bet not one of the development staff thought “this is an ideal way to start your career”. How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Each game is an island. Flames will respond. How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?
We played a great game Saturday night. I think it ended up good for us that Brian Boyle was sick so they had to play Rocco Grimaldi. He is a little energizer bunny like a junior Viktor Arvidsson. Though it seems boil had an appendicitis attack. Not good. clm Nashville, TN https://twitter.com/ironclm | http://ironclm.typepad.com
Leafs looked much better at home. Anderson still needs to watch the rebounds, but has been solid so far. Nice to see Austin get some points. Two down, fourteen left. Go Leafs!

Oh the Flames responded... boy did they ever respond... How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Pretty sure they’re going this is a great way to start your career currently.
Yeah he’s great at running interference to help his feeble/slow D partner. I am not kidding, he’s really good at that. So good that it never gets called. How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

He shoots... he scores!.... you going to admit you may have been mistaken?

Justin Holl scored a goal in each of his first two career games.
Who?!?
Exactly. How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

Of course not, saying that would ruin my narrative.
To be honest, I didn't watch that game so I won't comment other than to say scoring a goal doesn't necessarily mean that one had a good game. Maybe he did. I don't know. But maybe he didn't.
What I do know is that Calgary got filled in. How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

I don’t even care about the goal. Sure that was cool to do. What was more impressive was the two breakouts, that he basically turned on the speed and turned everyone on Calgary and got into their zone. It’ll be scary how fast he is in a couple years after the NHL strength and conditioning coaches start working with him.
Good back and forth, Anderson came up big in the first when the Bruins were carrying the play. Very impressed with Marner blocking multiple shots on the last shift.
Bruins (especially the first line) looked to be fighting the puck at times. First line hasn't been given much room to operate and when they do, both Pastrnak and Marchand are either trying to do too much or get cute (I hate when Pastrnak does those little drop passes in the neutral zone). They got away from the physical play and winning the small area puck battles that helped carry them in Game 2.
