Haven't seen an effort like that from MacKinnon since the Dallas Stars game earlier in the season in Dallas with both Landeskog and Duchene out
I'm very confused by some of these Duchene > MacK comments. Seems very convenient. I mean, that was Duchene's first goal in 13 games, after all.
They go on stretches at different times. I think it's glaringly obvious the difference in the two is not big. Despite the fact that many claimed Mack was a franchise player and will be a top 5 in the NHL.
Mack has been at his best on the wing, maybe they should go back to that?
Mack has two more points in four more games played. Duchene is the better center. Play him with guys other then Plugs and he's produced.I'm very confused by some of these Duchene > MacK comments. Seems very convenient. I mean, that was Duchene's first goal in 13 games, after all.
look at this captain.I'm entitled to respond to whatever I want to. Take your own advice if you don't like my posts. I don't have to censor myself to spare your feelings.
Hey, it's a valid point though
I fundamentally disagree with the notion that MacKinnon was best on the wing. The MacKinnon of today is better than the MacKinnon in his rookie season, in my view. There is a very large difference between running around on the wing with zero defensive responsibilities, poor defensive play, and having Stastny distribute you the puck with Landeskog on the other wing, against a league that has yet to figure out how to handle your speed, vs. playing centre, being passable defensively, being the go-to guy on your line, and playing against opponents that are well prepared and bring out their best to shut you down. I entirely disagree with the idea that MacKinnon is worse or only equal to the player that he was in his rookie year. I firmly believe he is better, and I hope we never see him on the wing again.
I think so in the third. Wasn't a good night for him, from what I saw.Was Zadorov benched last night?

You won't get an argument from me...if the avs listened to me my username would be D2D:

He has been heading in the wrong direction. Bad things happen when he refuses to move his feet and there has been a lot of that. What makes it more frustrating is that it comes after some of his best games of the season.
Hindsight's always 20-20, but between Jones, Barkov and Drouin, I'd take all of them over MacKinnon.
I wouldn't take Drouin over Mackinnon.

Hasn't been moving his feet for a bit now. And that hinders his physical play too. Been a real bad stretch for him lately
The reason we drafted Nathan MacKinnon.
