Re: bu off-season - #1
McAvoy at BU was undisciplined and made a lot of mistakes. In loss to Notre Dame, for instance, he was directly or indirectly responsible for all of the Irish goals.
But, it was not a lack of coaching, attitude or lack of effort.
McAvoy is physically gifted. A real power skater. In college, he tried to do too much. So how do you harness a talent like that.
He could make a mistake, a gamble that she shouldn't have, and often was able to make up for it because of how well he moves. Sometimes that didn't work, and he was caught.
High hockey IQ? I'm not sold. I think it is more a lack of overall experience, especially defensively.
If he plays within himself, and doesn't try and too much, he could be a big success with the Bruins. I think he will do that.
My question will be how does he play once he establishes himself, and feels he can start taking chances again.
I wish him luck, and hope that he does play within himself. That will be the proof of whether he has a high Hockey IQ or not.
