I love the fake handoff with Landeskog. He turns his skates to shield the puck but also fake out the defenders.
Very similar move to the fake drop pass on the PP zone entry.

Vintage Makar. Not many defenceman have the creativity to do that fake drop pass at high speed like that.
That was probably my second favourite play of the playoffs. Only behind the goal where MacK forced a turnover and saucered a pass to Mikko, who one-timed it out of the air.

I think the only thing preventing him to put up 100 points will be the shortened season with a lot less games.

“We know our time will come.”
Stumbled upon this interview with Makar.
Not sure if it was ever shared. Apparently he dealt with quad cramping throughout the season. One of the Avs players leaked it to the media lol

Saw that interview earlier, but I didn't notice the Crocodile Dundee poster over his left shoulder the first time. Guess Cale's a fan haha.

I don't have Facebook but I could still watch this video.
Cale Makar video
It is #smashfest which is a ping pong tournament for charity. They have Cale Makar talk to an artist who designs a custom ping pong table that will be sold for the cause.
Cale's interview and design starts at about 13 minutes in.

I think someone else shared this a little while ago, but I finally got around to watching it today.
Makar’s mentality towards the game and demeanour in games reminds me so much of Sakic.
Edit: @MaKarter with the original share of the vid.

Don’t ask me how I went down this rabbit hole...
Between the regular season and playoffs Cale Makar has played 82 NHL games.
In that time he’s scored 7 game winning goals.
If you equate his 82 games to one season, according to my research, that’s the second most game winning goals by a defenceman in NHL history in a season.

Can I guess? Did you start it when you were looking into Cale's expansion eligibility?
Quite an impressive feat by Cale btw. Looks like OEL is 1st with 8, and Derek Morris, Dion Phaneuf, and OEL again are tied with a bunch of people for 2nd though with 7, so it may be a bit flukey.
Al MacInnis tied for 2nd with 7 GWG's in 61 games is the real impressive one on the list. Same with Hooley Smith in 1933 with 7 GWG's in 48 games, but who the hell knows what the hockey was like in 1933?

Haha I think that’s where it started.
Kind of a weird little stat, but a neat accomplishment for Cale. Especially considering he was a rookie.
MacInnis played in a pretty high scoring era, but regardless the dude was a monster and might of had the best shot of all time.

I think Chara has the hardest shot of all time but you kind of expect that from a guy with his height and strength. Al's shot was hard but also accurate. I never seen him hit a teammate in front of the net ever.
I'd like to see what Iafrate and McInnis would do with a graphite stick. I remember McInnis putting a hole in the boards with his shot during warmups and breaking goalies fingers when the poor sod tried to catch one of his bombs. But the best slapshot of all time belongs to Ray Bourque, to have that speed with so much accuracy is mindblowing. As for Chara, I really don't rate his shot all that much. He needs way too much time to get it off.

The only way Makar gets close to a Norris is when Gravy lets Cale hold his trophy after he wins it this year.

True. It’s going to be insane when Graves is the first person to be +100 in a season since Gretz.

I started doing a few Mock Fantasy Hockey drafts. ESPN has Graves as their 64th overall ranked player. Just ahead of Braden Point and Miro Heiskanen.
