We all knew Charlie McAvoy was a tremendous hockey player. After tonight, he can add a new title to his resume: director of NHL officiating.
Per a highly placed source, the NHL was extremely impressed with McAvoy after tonight’s Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs game and decided to take immediate action.
“They couldn’t believe how good of a grasp this kid has on the situation,” said our source. “He was so on the ball...it’s like he’s been an official for years. They just had to have him.”
The incident in question came after the Bruins’ loss, which featured a controversial goaltender interference non-call on the game-winning goal.
