The news has sent shockwaves among American fans, with individuals tweeting their worry and shock. “Tough blow for Team USA & especially for the Bruins. Hope it is nothing long-term. Even though I’m rooting for Canada & the Leafs, I never want to see an impactful player go down regardless of what team he’s on. Especially one who plays with heart like McAvoy,” commented a fan. Another commented, “Hope it’s nothing too serious! My thoughts and prayers are with CMac! I hope all is well and not a serious injury.”
McAvoy, known for his effort and on-ice leadership on the blueline, has been a mainstay for the Bruins and Team USA. His absence creates a huge gap with the final on the doorstep, fueling questions about the team’s chances against Canada.
