Breaking: McAvoy facing suspension for head shot on Anderson

Late in the second period of last night’s Game 6 action between the Boston Bruins and Columbus Blue Jackets, Bruins defender Charlie McAvoy absolutely TRUCKED Jackets forward Josh Anderson with a blatant head shot.

Check it out:

Good grief… that’s a two minute minor? Yet the crosscheck on Pavelski is a five minute major?

I’m not saying McAvoy is a dirty player or that he even targeted the head. Accidents happen, but let’s not pretend that this wasn’t a blatant head shot. Clearly another blown call from NHL refs. Surprise, surprise.

As you might imagine, NHL Player Safety has tabbed McAvoy for an in-person hearing:

As for McAvoy, he's resolute in his opinion that he's done nothing wrong.

Should make for an interesting conversation with Player Safety...
