Charlie McAvoy’s hit on Connor McDavid was another US message sent at the 4 Nations Face-Off
Associated PressMONTREAL — Charlie McAvoy lined up Connor McDavid and delivered a textbook hit that sent the best hockey player in the world careening into the glass and down to the ice. “They just scored a goal, the building was rocking and Charlie comes there and pops McDavid, like one of the hardest hits I’ve seen.” And it wasn’t McAvoy’s only hit. It’s been such a privilege for me to have an opportunity to coach him here at an event like this.” Tkachuk called McAvoy one of the best U.S. players against Canada, adding, ‘I think the rest of us, we followed him.” It was easy to follow McAvoy given how he was leading by throwing his body around with reckless abandon. He’s great with his size, he’s really good defensively and I thought that was a perfectly timed hit to get our team going in the right direction.” McAvoy now gets to play the championship game in his NHL home arena on Thursday night at TD Garden in Boston. “I’m glad it went in.” Sweden goalie decision Ullmark replaced Filip Gustavsson in goal for Sweden after one period against Finland, a decision coach Sam Hallam said was because of illness.
