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

[Cyclones Rock]

That’s because it’s a big game. He’s not a money player, which is why he’s nowhere near one of the all-time greats.


McOverrated is supposed to elevate guys upward. Crosby made Kunitz & Dupuis into far better players on their way to a couple of Cups.

Yeah. Zach Hyman scores 54 goals with anyone

Best three players in the world (IMHO):

Goalie - Hellebuyck
Blue liner - Makar
Forward - Kucherov

How's that song go...oh yeah "...two out of three ain't bad".

Looking at the fancy stats, he hasn't been this season.

Not in the top 5.

...and yet he's probably the favorite to win the Art Ross & the Hart...yay FANCY STATS...

 

[Muffin]

Don’t watch him play often but when I do I am always struck by how selfish he is as a player

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

Hes just got to play a little fancier, that's all.

That's actually just him being really good at hockey - you're just very unaccustomed to watching players do that because of the team you cheer for

It must be a shock to the system

Some baffling lazy plays at the end of that game to give Finland life

This is why he’ll never be Crosby or Mcdavid teir. Or even kucherov

He wasn't even on the ice for a goal against. Try again

Go back and watch what he did, could have iced the game and went and did that lazy ass shit.

I watched the game and he wasn't on the ice for a goal against. Got anything else?

 

[Steazy Doo]

He was really good for most of the fame too, probably read my thread. But of course, there’s that extra level that keeps him from breaking through to McDavid or even Kucherov their, he just doesn’t do it

When you have Jordan Goddamn Binnington in net it's easy not to have goals against you.

Big game Binner always locks it down!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

You're right, he turned the puck over and got off the ice to save his minus.

What was that weak ass clearing attempt in the last couple of minutes, muffins it right into a finish player.

 

[soothsayer]

There's probably only a handful of people who actually think he's the best in the world, and the majority of those people are probably a cross-section of people who don't really know hockey and people who are Avalanche fans. The rest are just edgelords.

He can be one of the greatest, Crosby doesn’t take shortcuts

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

Proof it’s a team sport because he wasn’t even the best player on his own team when they won. Makar was. And they also won because they had a ton of depth that year. They lost it all that summer and are back to being top heavy and being bounced after a round or two. Just saying.

Bro that’s not cutting it too early, it’s leaving them out to dry.

End of the game is on him.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Player of the game and you have these people in here screeching about a nothing play at the end of the game that resulted in no goal against.

It will never end.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

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
