People who think Nathan Mackinnon is the best player in the world, can we all just be kind of agree that… he’s not?

[GirardSpinorama]

This is a great anti jinx thread. Thanks OP.

Wow imagine how many assists he would have if he wasn't so selfish

Not saying he’s not good, just not the best

 

[zenthusiast]

Among the best cases for second best but McDavid denialism is silly

That is absolutely not what is going on

 

[yeaher]

...ummm...which Hughes Brother do you refer to??...actually, nevermind, it doesn't matter; none of them are better than MacK...

This is 100% true, also Q Hughes isn't in Makar's league

This thread is garbage hot take over garbage hot take.

McDavid is probably the best but he has the personality of an ant.

it’s a good thing he’s not one of your drinking buddies then I guess but this is about hockey

Unwarranted hate. I will say I’m seeing what some people have said about his IQ. Certainly not low but relative to his echelon of player I see the tunnel vision plays

Maybe the other top players should consider making some lower IQ plays if this nincompoop MacKinnon is outproducing them with his replacement level intelligence

it’s just not his strength. He’s otherworldly athleticism wise. not really a reason to get offended

I'm not offended, I was just trying to be funny lol

I agree that it's not his game to overthink things. He's been very successful with it

Nice try but Mack leads the league in even strength points since 2021-2022. 275 games played.

You're just making shit up.

How many of those are empty net points?

How many would be too many?

it’s give and take really. you never see him forcing stupid shit which is a plus. Simpler hockey

 

[ORRFForever]

We need him to have a BIG game on Thursday.

Time to step up, Nathan !!!!

 

[yeaher]

Less than kuchy

 

[Oilslick941611]

How many would be too many?

10-15%

 

[Tralfamadore]

Y'all just being lazy now.

Well it meant enough for you to emphasize even strength points. Meaning you are cherry picking stats and acting like not at all points carry the same weight.

Do you care to actually contribute anything to this discussion?

Yeah good thing the best player in the NHL has no personality for marketing. NHL sure doesn’t need that. Is that hockey related enough for you?

Not really, no. There are 9 pages in this thread. What’s left to say?

That sucks for the NHLs bottom line I guess

First he's taking too long of shifts now he's cutting them off too early. This shit is ridiculous to say the least. Dude can do nothing right in the eyes of some fans

It’s mainly insecure oil and lightning fans trying to force a narrative. I think any reasonable hockey fan knows that any of the top players are capable of “being the best in the league” on any given night.

it’s give and take really. you never see him forcing stupid shit which is a plus. Simpler hockey

Absolutely, completely, and utterly incorrect . He regularly forces so many passes that it has Avs fans raging a lot of nights.

This tournament has brought out so many fans that talk in absolutes when they clearly do not know. MacKinnon selfish, doesn’t force plays, can’t use his line mates….. lol.
