Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman have Bruins fans circling Sunday’s Team USA vs Team Canada gold medal game, but a scary Olympic incident has quickly become the main priority.

After Friday’s semifinals, the Olympic village went quiet for a different reason than hockey.

Polish short-track skater Kamila Sellier was involved in a terrifying crash and needed medical attention after being cut near her left eye.

It was the kind of moment that makes the scoreboard feel irrelevant.

Sellier later posted that she’s doing “quite well,” easing the fear that spread fast across the Games.

With that update out, the hockey world snapped back to the main event.

For Boston Bruins fans, this final hits different because McAvoy is wearing the USA sweater as an alternate captain, and Swayman is part of the American goalie group.

That’s two Bruins pillars right in the middle of the loudest stage hockey can offer.

Charlie McAvoy makes Boston Bruins fans feel invested

Bruins fans are excited, but also holding their breath, because nothing ruins a season like an injury in a best-on-best tournament.

Canada arrives loaded and rolling, and Connor McDavid has already piled up 13 points in five games.

That kind of pace forces Team USA’s blue line to defend without cheating for offense.

McAvoy’s reads, gaps, and first pass matter more than ever if the Americans want clean exits and fewer scrambles.

There’s also an old Boston emotional pull on the other bench.

Former Bruin Brad Marchand is on Team Canada, and he’s already chipped in a point in his early tournament action.

Before the gold medal game, the tournament wraps its last loose end on Saturday with Finland vs Slovakia for bronze at 2:40 p.m. ET.

Then it’s Canada vs USA for gold on Sunday at 8:10 a.m. ET, coffee in hand, heart rate up.
