"It's hard, honestly. It feels almost like a Stanley Cup thing where the year should be over now. Mentally I had that (feeling). Then you have to dial back in and realize what this team has done so far this year and this position we've put ourselves in, what we've done has been really special, too. There's so much more left of this year, switching back to putting the B on and I'm so excited for the second half."
"When it happened, the game was so fast and the pressure was so high, I didn't even really stop to realize what had happened until after when everyone was sending me all that stuff. It was a huge save and then seeing it, it would have definitely went in if I wasn't there. Probably the only thing that got past Helly. It was just unbelievable."
Charlie McAvoy returned to the Boston Bruins after winning Olympic gold with Team USA in Italy, defeating Canada in the final. Though mentally still processing the achievement, McAvoy refocused on the Bruins' second half of the season. His most significant moment came in the third period when he blocked a shot on the goal line that would have given Canada the lead, preserving the tied score before Jack Hughes scored the golden game-winner. McAvoy acknowledged the difficulty of transitioning back to club hockey after such a monumental achievement, comparing the feeling to winning the Stanley Cup.
