Maybe Mack dont like Dman lol I remember seeing a practice clip when he gave Holden a nice two hand slash back of the leg when it looked like Holden was goofing on Mack haha. Maybe Mack has a bad temper.

They played the last place team in the east and barely won in OT, i wouldn't call this the end of the struggles.
This team also beat the Hawks not long ago and played crappy after that win until this game. I really don't see the Avs going on any king of win streaks this year, they just don't have it in them. They'll be lucky if they win two games in a row the rest of this season.

Clearly this team that's in last place doesn't have any problems with the temperature of it's porridge. It's just right.

I can't be 100% sure but I remember when he said "what a effing change" and I thought at the time that he was saying it because they change his PP unit after being on the ice for only about 30 secs. I had the impression he thought their unit should have stayed longer on the ice. I might be wrong though.

That doesn't surprise me because in one of MacKinnon's interviews this season he said we need d-men who can get the puck to forwards fast, and he clearly showed frustration implying that the Avs don't really have d-men who can get the puck to forwards coming out of the zone

I think we can all agree with Mack on that. We need d-men who can move the puck. We have a bunch of Eric Gryba's

I think it is bad form to bad mouth team mates like that. I think it is counter productive and it will result in negativity, which I think this team has enough of already. On the other hand I can understand Mack's frustration. But what if everyone was acting like Mack did when their frustrations are high? Imagine what a kindergarten it would look like. I also think he losses respect among his team mates when he does that.

Good on Mackinnon. I remember Seeing an interview with Adam Foote about playing with Columbus, and he said one of the best things about playing for their club at the time, is each player to a dime, would keep each other held accountable on the ice (despite their struggling results).
It was a culture where you wouldn't want to let your team mate down, or you'd certainly hear about it.
He said that was very refreshing.
What Mackinnon did actually showed leadership qualities. Call a spade a spade.

I guess I could chime in on MacKinnon.... I think there's way too many assumptions, and I think maybe ABasin who might have said we're taking something PG and turning it into something R rated (correct me if I'm wrong, if it was someone else making that analogy).
Good for MacKinnon, I mean holy hell, it's not like he was red faced spitting and screaming in Zad's face? Come on! You have no way to know what their relationship is, good or bad. And MacK shrugging and stuff there could be a lot of different things.
I don't know about what you hear, but MacK can be heard on the ice ALL the time, this isn't new. I mean he calls for the puck a lot, but he also yells out of emotion at himself and other players. Sometimes as the game goes, I think they turn the mics down near the ice just for him
I don't have any problem with what happened and think there's a huge overreaction to it. For all you know they bro hugged after in the lockeroom, ffs, like I said he didn't throw a tantrum. I've had bosses calmly call me out for mistakes and I go 'oh I'm sorry, I will try better next time'. No love lost whatsoever.
Again, and I can't stress this enough, if as long as you're not throwing a major hissy fit, there's no need for this big of a 'omg how could you' reaction. You do you MacKinnon
EDIT: It was ABasin, had to go look. But seriously, this isn't a 'regular' job. Ya'll act like cussing is some big crime, **** that, you ever hear some of the things said on the ice? This isn't the counter at McDonalds like 'sir, sir, please do not swear at me sir. I am going to have to ask you to leave, sir, if you continue to use language like that. Sir, please don't speak to me in that tone, sir....' 
It is fair to see how this goes, maybe see if this is a regular thing where there could be a rift of some kind in the locker room. But still at this point, we're no where close to knowing that, and havent seen MacK 'lose his ****ing mind' on anyone. (Tukka Rask....ahem)

One thing that stood out to me again - Pickard is getting beat glove side quite regularly. Not a good hole to have in your game.
Loved what Nieto brought, hoping to see more of the same.

This is true, but the Boychuk goal... I don't think there's a goalie in this league stopping that bomb on a one-timer facing a 5-on-3 from that close.

Nobody is stopping that Boychuk blast but yah the book is out on Pickard in regards to his weak glove.
