I think MacK is current flavour of the month just like Matthews, Barkov and Peterson at one point or another.

Dallas had some of the most fun games so far these playoffs and Heiskanen has been so surgical it's mesmerizing. Also thankfully Bergevin didn't resign Radulov for some reason he's having quite a run.

He's been very consistent for 3 years now and unlike Matthews you can say he's actually carrying his team to success.

Mack has basically played at this level consistently for the last two seasons. I know COVID has us all questioning the concept of time, but thats a really long month.
That was figure of a speech, but before avalanche made it to second round this year hockey fans weren't so quick to cream their pants over him. It's recency bias at its best when you have people claiming he is better than mcjesus
In the meantime Morgan Reilly went from norris hype to matt carle in a span of one year.

MacKinnon was probably the 2nd most common Hart vote this year and finished 6th last year, but people didn’t put him in the upper stratosphere until the Avalanche won a round. Got it.

I'm fairly certain people were creaming their pants over him last year when he threw the Avs on his back when Rantanen was out for like 8 weeks. Mackinnon being a beast isn't anything new.

If you want some humor, go to the Leafs board and check into their FA/trade proposal threads. It’s insane. Marner is an over priced bum and they can move their hot garbage for AS players.
I can always tell my apathy is peaking when I can't understand the sarcasm from any side. I'm going to go Netflix and chill with myself.

Where the hell you been?
He just had his 3rd straight season being a top 5 forward in the league.

If I'm magically adding one non-McDavid player to this team, it's him.

Its honestly not even close, either. Mack plays like a bull, actually uses his size, and oozes speed and skill. He's like a more modern version of Lindros, just a little less physical in terms of mixing it up.

Don't worry, that's what Frost will be like if he stays in the magical development zone known as the AHL long enough.
Gordon is a wizard.

I find the lack of faith in Francouz in this thread very disturbing

To a degree I get it. People are being exposed to MacKinnon & Colorado at a higher volume in the playoffs then they normally would be. So there is some reinforcing going on with actually seeing it with your own eyes.
Hockey’s a very regional sport & it doesn’t help with teams in the western part of North America. But yeah he’s been a top 5ish player for years now.

I would have thought he was Swiss with a name like that.

NHL really missed the boat with these late start times. Boston Tampa would have been perfect this afternoon.

The Flyers and Islanders would have been perfect this afternoon to alleviate a B2B but who am I?

Watching some pregame for Tampa-Boston and the arena scoreboard shows 2-1 Bruins.
Interesting strategy spotting each team goals. I don't think they will need to in this series.
