Charlie McAvoy could only shrug his shoulders when asked about his 2024-25 season.
“Not a great year, not really, by any stretch,” the Bruins defenseman said Thursday morning at Warrior Ice Arena. There were certainly some pockets of good memories, I guess. But overall, really a year to forget — with an unfortunate ending on my side.
“It’s all just motivation, really, to not feel like this again. Never been here, and I don’t want to be here again.”
For the first time since McAvoy first arrived in Boston in April 2017, the Bruins are out of the playoff picture.
