I don't really get this criticism of McAvoy when he was playing for BU. He's not a flashy player, now or when he was at BU. He isn't the kind of player that will win games single-handed, like Eichel or Keller (or even Carpenter). I don't know that we've ever had a defenseman that could do that, maybe Shattenkirk or Gilroy. McAvoy had a rough first half of his freshman year, but from then on he was really pretty good.

To clarify, I don't think he played poorly at BU. He did occasionally make a bad decision that led to a goal, but he was the youngest player in the country as a freshman.

Lest we forget he scored one of the biggest goals for the program over the past decade.

I mean yeah he scored that, but that goal was 99.9999999% the result of Keller.

He might be playing for a better coach as well...

Might?!?!?!

Really says a lot that

one of the biggest goals for the program over the past decade

was in a regional semi-final game.

Though to be fair your statement will be a lot more true in about 15 months.

Well the team has had better years obviously (2009, 2015), but the nature of the goal (basically a road game, and after the team thought they had already lost the game) makes it a more "memorable" goal. Funny how the result of the game has such an impact on how big a goal is (quick, who scored the tying goal with around 3 minutes left the next night?).

And Keller had a lot to do with it for sure, but many other BU d-men 1) don't take that chance of dropping so low in an OT game and 2) don't convert on the opportunity as well as he did.

Anytime a defenseman gets a hat trick, it reminds me of the "d-man double hat trick" with Whitney and Schaeffer, against I think, Princeton? And also Kaj Linna slaying the LSSU dragon in the '95 regional with his hat trick.
