7 is out, obviously.
77 is out, obviously.
How about 66...... not that it is relevant to McAvoy, I'd just like to rub it in the face of those ass wipe fans who think Mario is somehow League Royalty.
Hell, forget McAvoy. Change Hayes from 11 to 66. DO IT!
Welcome to Bruins Charlie!!

OK, I get it...... no one wants McAvoy to have 66.
So how about this...... We sign Matt Cooke to a one day contract and give him 66. He starts the game and Quaider is also in starting lineup.At the drop of the puck, 54 mercilessly beats the snot out of him. 66 doesn't skate another shift.
Only question is can two guys from same team get 5 for fighting for same fight?

Having seen McAvoy play only a handful of times, I liked his physicality but for those who have seen him more, does the kid have a nasty side to him? Not that I`m concerned more curious about it
After going back and watching the 2013 playoffs the other night we are severely lacking in the physicality department, Boychuk was destroyyyyying bodies, heres hoping McAvoy takes a similar stance in his play.

yep, I would like to see this team with one D-man who literally hates opponents who even think about going to the net and makes life miserable for them.
I think Quaider and K Miller generally play that way but I find often their lack of foot speed doesn`t allow them to get themselves into position before the opponent

I don't think that's really McAvoy's game. He seems to love to throw big hits and ends up in some dustups because of that, but I don't foresee him throwing down a ton or playing that enforcer type of D game. Boychuk is actually a decent comparison for what kind of physical game he brings, though obviously he's not Boychuk's size so the hits come in differently. I think he does have a little Kronwall in him though.
Now Zboril on the other hand, that's his game.

I love how excited he looks in all of the videos and pictures. Hopefully he is one of the "hometown" boys who embraces the challenge and becomes an instant favorite next year. Well behind Marchand, Pasta, Bergie, Rask (good rask not injured/sick Rask), angry Chara, McQuaid smushing people. No pressure.

No one will wear number 43 for a long time. Bart earned that right.
They will give him a better number... Hamilton was 53 in the preseasons here, Pasta was some gross number, Lucic was 62, Chiller was something gross... He'll get his pick.
Also hilarious!I was a huge fan of 33,44, 55 being defensemen. I would love it if he wore number 22 in deference to Brad Park. Or, if nobody else has claimed 44 that would be cool. Like I said I'm a fan of d-men with low numbers but when Brad Park came here he changed that since Park wore #2 for the Rangers, came here and wore #22. At that time my adolecent mind thought "we have #4 and then we have 2+2 in Park (a secondary Orr type) and thought that it meant that here he'd be twice as good than in NY....
Carol Vadnais wore #10, Dick Redmond wore #6 (which I like on Chiller).
I guess I'm going off the rails here. Watch him wear #59 or some really lame-a$$ number like that....

22 is a great number
22 is a great number
Yup, you probably don't know this but it belonged to my second fave defenseman of all time!
He wore it well!

PROVIDENCE — Charlie McAvoy participated in his first professional practice Thursday for the Providence Bruins at Dunkin’ Donuts Center. McAvoy, skating alongside Linus Arnesson, wore No. 43. The right-shot defenseman is likely to make his pro debut Saturday against Springfield, paired with veteran left-shot man Tommy Cross.
“It seemed great,” McAvoy said. “I felt like I had a good day, getting used to the equipment, learning the systems and everything. Overall, it’s just really, really exciting. It made for a good first day for me.”
“I haven’t seen him play,” said Providence coach Kevin Dean. “But I’ve heard there’s some Drew Doughty in him and a little more physicality in his game, from what I understand. He looks like a thoroughbred. I heard he skates like the wind.
“We’re going to try and encourage him to do those things. Rein in the stuff that might get him in trouble, and maybe it doesn’t. We’ll see.”
“I’m here in Providence. I’m very excited to be here,” McAvoy said. “My immediate goal right now is to learn how to be a pro. I’m in an environment here that’s going to help me do that. I’m very thankful for that.”

I'd say he's loosing his hair.
That is a pretty big side receding hair line for an 19 year old.

Weird that Dean said he hasn't seen him play. He was at DC and Dean ran the camp. Maybe he means this year in games?
