GDT: Vancouver Hughes @ Colorado Makars | 8pm MT | Emergency No Effort GDT

[Avs44]

Thought they might collapse and fail again on this one...nice to see they stuck with it after the Boeser embarrasment. What a pathetic call by the refs.

5 and a game...

f*** off

Amazing game by Makar tonight. Quinn Hughes disappointed. I expected more from the MVP.

Makar heard you talking all your shit.

Avs played a great game tonight. Most everyone looked good

- Caleb Jones might be a keeper, he’s fast and strong on the puck, really liking him.

- Tufte was really good, even if his goal was lucky.

- The team continued with a strong forecheck even with LOC missing.

- The only players I thought were bad were Mack and RyJo. Mack just doesn’t seem engaged right now at all and RyJo just can’t get anything going at all.

- Finally, despite the soft goal, George looked much better tonight (and was better last game too) hopefully he can continue to find a groove

Mackinnon has looked like someone who needed x-rays.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I hate this f***en team.

 

[Perratrooper]

As a Calgarian, I think it’s pretty cool that two of the best defensemen in the game are from here

Wait I didn’t know there was another Calgarian on the Avs board.. Got say feels great to have the best player in the world from our home town

 

[sethro109]

If those X-rays aren't negative I say we form a party to go fight the hockey gods.

To be honest Hughes did look great today. Makar’s just on a different level though, noone is even close.
People saying hughes/fox or anyone else is better really reminds me of how we were trying to convince ourselves that Mackinnon might be better than McDavid a few years ago

Yeah this is exactly it. Makar is the McDavid of Dmen and he's ahead of everyone else by the same gap.

RIP MacK

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

I'm sure that Makar would be the first to say that his celebration was because he was happy to help his team, but I'm going to just tell myself that it had a lot more to do with the Hughes vs. Makar debate.

Mackinnon has looked like someone who needed x-rays.

I actually think it's the opposite. MacKinnon has looked great physically. He looks strong and flying around like usual. It's been the mental mistakes, bobbled pucks, bad passes etc.

This season more than ever it looks like he's just relying on his crazy physical tools and that's why he's been able to produce. Despite the criticism MacKinnon being out/playing banged up has the potential to make things really ugly. RyJo1C incoming.

 

[Freaky Styley]

People will soon realize that Makar is the best player in the NHL. There are few who already know(including me) the rest just need to catch up

Been banging this drum since his performance vs. McDavid in the playoffs. The debate was always valid since then and with McD's struggles and Makar staying healthy (fingers crossed) he's showing his capabiltiy

The last few games he's done more standing around than flying around.

25% of the season complete so lots of time left but forget the Norris conversation for now, Cale is legitimately the Hart favorite at this point.

MacKinnon playing below his usual standard is actually a selfless act of propping Makar up for the Hart. We'll just have to spin the wheel to see what version of Hart voting we get this year. The criteria seems to change every year.

He’s also just entering his prime

Somehow, it will be Taylor Hall again.
