Keep on chuggin' Charlie, really ring their bell!
Nah , Just a good hockey hit.I think the hit on Anderson was dirty. I’d be a hypocrite to say otherwise; if that was a blues player hitting a bruins player, I’m sure that’s the conclusion I’d draw.

Couple of interesting things other than McAvoy:
Ellis and Spurgeon. Two of the league's smallest D-men yet they prevent scoring at a a high rate. Proof that you can defend now with your feet, stick and positioning and not being able to truck guys in front of the net is no longer the detriment to defending that it was year's ago. Sure there are a handful of players that if they set-up shop in front, smaller D would have a problem. But the number of players (power-forward types) league-wide who pose this sort of problem is so small now that it's really not an issue the majority of the time. The speed of the game has filtered a lot of these power-forward types out as they can't keep pace (see Backes, Lucic, etc.)
Easily our strongest player right now. He’s carrying whoever they pair him with. Love his game and how he ups it when being targeted.He was rough in the round robin, but good lord he's been exceptional these last 2 games. He's been a force in all 3 zones, and has covered up for Chara quite a bit against an awesome orechecking team. There were points in the 3rd where he just took matters into his own hands a lot of the time. He got that penalty in the 3rd, but that call looked questionable at best to me.

I hope he doesn’t get discouraged and continues his intensity after those soft calls against him.
I’m struggling to name 10 better D in the NHL than him currently
off the top of my head no order
Josi
Pietrangelo
Hedman
Jones
Carlson
after that it gets tough to think of who else id want as my #1 instead of McAvoy
The top 3 D are head and shoulders above the rest.
Hedman, Jones & Josi. There are probably another
at least 10 D you can make an honest argument
for. You mentioned two others. In no order here are
some others.
Parayko, Doughty, Provorov, Makar, Dahlin, Heiskenen,
Petry, Weber, Burns.
Give me McAvoy over most of those guys, easily
Lol, tell me who then.
