And it's just some random guy on the Penguins talking about Nate, not even worthwhile

The story came up at 4Nations too, and Nate tells Crosby he was trying to impress him. Nate also says he didn't realize he noticed.

They both remembered it, but hadn't talked about it.

We should’ve made MacK switch to wing so Jost could eventually take over the 1C spot.

 

[Tralfamadore]

I remember this thread lol

 

[the_fan]

Since this thread has been bumped up, can I just say I was right?

Not really. Brock Nelson welcomed the Anunnaki when they found their way to this backasswards blue marble.

Brock Nelson gave Tom Bombadil's mom gold, franincense and myrrh at his birth.

100 points in today's NHL is very difficult to hit. The 2nd best player in the NHL has yet to hit that mark (Stamkos IMO... Malkin is too inconsistent). The best player in the world barely hit is last year.

I have said for a long time that MacK would be a 85-90 point player in his prime. He might have 1 or 2 prime seasons where he touches 100 points, but he won't be consistently at that level. 85-90 points is nothing to scoff at either... those are top 5 sorts of numbers.

Booo Henchy, booooooo!!

(Come back)

Imagine if MacKinnon and Crosby plays together with the Avs. It'll be so crazy.

Yeah, can't wait to burn a year that Crosby has left losing another series to Deboer

I thought this might deserve it's own thread....

I think some people really underestimating how good MacKinnon is gonna be and I'll tell you why...

I live in LA and I've gone to few places like stores or restaurants etc... and talking to random people at this places about sports, there were few times where I was asked what sport and teams I follow, I said hockey and Avalanche, and this people while not necessarily hockey fans, but just with general knowledge of sports knew who MacKinnon was.

They didn't know who Duchene or Varly, EJ etc are, but they said to me.."you guys have that new MacKinnon kid who's gonna be really good"

I mean that's like none hockey fans knowing who Crosby or "the next big thing" in particular sport is.

That really made me feel even better about the kid. He really is gonna be special.

Boy, do I have news for you!!!
