FOR THE LOVE OF SPOTTED COW! Are you kidding me? Charlie McAvoy goes out there and drops a beauty of an overtime goal for the Bruins, gets some well-deserved dental work done afterwards – and that’s just another night in paradise for this NHLer. I mean seriously, has anyone ever seen someone so consistently clockin’ it to the face like he is right now? This guy must have more faces than a Culver’s butter burger with all the fixin’s!
Now, if you’re thinking back to that time my good buddy Michael-Vincent lost his teeth in some bar fight down at The Water Street Brewery – well let me tell ya kid, this is even worse. That was just a normal Tuesday for him after a few too many rounds of darts and complaining about the Brewers’ chances that season… but McAvoy? This guy’s got an Olympic gold medal and he can’t get some decent dental work done to prevent getting pummeled in every game!
Now, I’m no dentist – hell, I’ve had my share of teeth troubles too from a particularly aggressive youth hockey league (had to have two front ones capped after taking one for the team… literally), but come on! What’s next? You know how it is when you’re working at Kwik Trip and some dude comes through demanding a refund because they thought their cheese curds were 50 cents off. That was just Charlie McAvoy tonight, folks – “Hey, coach man can I get out of here for dental work?” Just picture that in your head… priceless!
I remember when the old pal Blake came to town with his famous “McAte” sandwich from Culver’s and we all thought he’d eat me alive if he couldn’t have it every day. But this, man… Charlie’s got some serious heart – goes out there and scores that goal for the win after being left toothless. That boy must’ve had a whole team of dentists on speed dial like my buddy does with his orthodontist to get those pearly whites back in line.
So here we are again at another 13th straight home win by Boston – but more importantly, it looks like they’re finally addressing that leadership vacuum after the loss of Chara and Bergeron. Maybe someone’s been sendin’ these guys pictures from “The Art of War” or somethin’, ’cause this whole team has turned into a well-oiled machine (or should I say toothless?).
Anyway, all you haters out there better get on that McAvoy train before it leaves the station – he’s not just giving us goals and dental troubles; no sir! This kid can lead. And if those two points weren’t enough to prove his point tonight… well hell, maybe we should rename him Captain Courageous.
Now I’m gonna hop off this soapbox (careful there McAvoy!) and grab some of that sweet, cold Culver’s Butterburger – no teeth required!
One-Ry Out.
