@V3rnSqwd5611 respectfully I think you need to watch more of Sidney Crosby. he isn't going around hitting people like ovechkin, but he doesn't "shy away from contact". next time you watch him, look at how he forechecks on the offensive end of the ice. anytime he or one of his linemates dump the puck sid is always in the defenders face putting a body on him. not to mention his game revolves around getting down low below the goal line and making plays, that's where the majority of contact happens.

This is why many consider Crosby to be top 5 all time. When he dominates a game it isn't just the 4 points he put up. He was battling in his corners, their corners, laying hits, stripping pucks in the neutral zone, getting shots, passes. Doing everything a superstar does and much more. Yet he seems to be the only player who wants to win, everyone was just cruising around after the first.

I'm a big Avs fan, have been since theyl moved here, I also have managed to watch all but 7 games since the 2017-18 season-- an Mack is just something else. After that pitiful 2016 season, it's like he flipped a switch and has became an unstoppable machine. Night in & night out, MacKinnon is the best player on the ice. This season he's be involved of the 45% of the Avs goals this season. He more than deserves his first Hart Trophy.

Mackinnon is 2nd ALL TIME and only 6 games from tying Gretzky for the home point streak record. Yet the media hasnt mentioned anything, if he played in Toronto or Montreal hed be handed the Hart already. Im full prepared for him to get snubbed for another Hart simply because he plays in Colorado

It’s a great time to love hockey

That Mack game tying goal was just awesome! I've learned this season not to give up on the Avs, even if they are down by 4.

Drouin has been alright this year since rejoing Nate too. Nice to see.

its not gonna happen now that they got mitts but i really wanted crosby to go to the avs.

I grew up in AK an AVS fan. I lived in Da Burgh from ages 22-32. This is my fav out come, OT... Avs take the extra point. Yinzers be crying

I'm happy for Drouin that he's having a good season after all the bullshit he went thru in MTL.The media here in MTL is a fucking nightmare for the players.

it's 2024, and Wayne Gretzky's insane stats still dominate this league

I was at this game with my family. I was just hoping for a good match between my two favorite teams, and they delivered, even if it was a bit tense those first 35 minutes. It was insane in the arena, and the Pens fans were almost as loud as the home crowd.

Mackinnon is a beast, and one of the current best in the league no doubt. Though the year he won a cup he even didn't lead his team in regular season pts, and more importantly, finished 3rd on the team in playoff production behind Makar and Rantanen, and 3rd in +- behind Landeskog and Byram. This is one example of how hockey is a team sport with additional emphasis on goaltending and solid defensive teamplay in the playoffs. Even a beast like Mackinnon can't singlehandedly carry a team to a Stanley cup W. Number of cups isn't the most reliable metric, though worth considering to some extent imo. Some stats for you to consider: In the 2021-22 playoffs McDavid had 33 pts in 16 games at a +- 15. Conversely Mackinnon had 24 pts in 20 games at a +- 11. So idk bro, to not acknowledge McDavid in the conversation is so inaccurate and salty lol.

Yeah, when Mackinnon gets those crazy eyes it's over. Don't get in his way. Feel terrible for Crosby though. He is doing everything he can to keep his team afloat and it just isn't enough.

what a comeback from the boys.

great vid honestly

This game was epic, love comebacks like that, down 0-4??? Win 5-4 in OT? Drama baby!!!

MacKinnon has had the Hart trophy locked up for the last month imo. Kucherov has been phenomenal, carried that Tampa team, and any other year I'd say it was his to win.... McDavid has had an excellent 2nd half tear... but MacKinnon has been consistent this season on a level that we haven't seen since the man whose record he is seeking to break... Wayne Gretzky. Plus, the NHL trend right now is to give it to guys who haven't earned it before so that means MacKinnon is next up...

That game HURT MY SOUL as a Pens fan!!!! The Pens were BUZZING on that high altitude 😂 I thought MAYBE this was the turn they needed for a chance to NOT end this season without getting into the playoffs. Oh well 😢 It was an exciting game either way. 🎉

Ok so for the first Pens goal yeah Crosby contributed, but it really started with Puljujärvi driving the puck to the zone and then collecting his own rebound to keep the puck with the Pens.

MacK I think has an edge over McDavid and Kucherov for mvp because both of those players have won it before. I know that shouldn't have a bearing, but I bet you anything it does. So as long as he doesn't just dry up in the next 11 games, i think he has the best chance to get it. Not guaranteed of course... but I do think it gives him an edge.
