I think it’d be best if he went into the player assistance program at that point in time. Deal with his anger.Can you imagine how pissed off he would be if he won all those awards?

Leafs fans call him second assist merchant. They are special

He's on his man. He gets back on his man and takes the pass away from his man. Girard f***s up protecting the net all the time. It's his biggest weakness. This play, he didn't f*** up at all. Maybe a guy like Cale, or Toews can make the play you're describing, but that's not their assignment.Man I gotta step away here, your cognitive dissonance is at legit delusional levels.
You focused on the pass, just to ignore that he'd clearly be in position to just reach with his stick and deflect the shot if he doesn't get pushed out of position.
Again though, Olofsson was the main guy at fault.
Brings to mind that scene from the Wide World of Sports where the ski jumper crashes and burns. Like moments forever enshrined in ignominy.

Bednar's postgame PC was fantastic tonight
Nate talked about the routine Bednar is referring to here in his Elliotte Friedman interview.
He spends an extra hour on the bike after games at a Zone 2 speed. Which for reference is a pace that isn't too quick, and allows you to talk with some shortened breath.
It helps get the lactic acid out after a hard workout/game, which helps you recover better, and actually makes you feel better physically the next day, than if you hadn't done it after a game.
He got this from Andy O'Brien and it really seems to help him have the energy to play his bull like style every game. He didn't used to be able to play that way game in and game out.
I gotta start doing that after my workouts too
It's hard to do. Takes a lot of dedication to put in an extra hour of boring cycling after a hard workout/game. That's why Nate's off ice dedication is praised so highly.
He's just a beast. All he wants to do is win and he'll turn over every stone to find an edge.
I wonder, I've often had the debate with people on this board & often got somewhat ridiculed for saying I'd take Mackinnon over McDavid.....I wonder if people's opinions are changing on that?
