We all know McDavid is the faster player of the two without the puck, but with the puck I'm curious to see who people think is faster because I'm thinking its MacKinnon. I'm an Avs fan and in no way trying to be a homer, I just think MacK can absolutely fly with the puck on his stick and perhaps faster than McDavid.
It's McDavid, quite clearly. I'm not sure how you managed to think MacKinnon is faster with the puck.

I'm convinced McDavid is somehow faster with the puck than without it.

well he technically does skate faster when he has the puck at least in game. because when you watch him without the puck he's just gliding waiting for a turnover like a shark in bloody waters waiting for the chance to explode up the ice.

It just seems that way when MacK takes off with the puck it just looks very fast and it seems like he's the fastest player taking off with the puck. But I think it's just his acceleration that makes it look very quick.

Long distance with the puck, McDavid will win it, but it's not too crazy to think that MacK can actually beat him from let's say goal line to center ice taking off with the puck

McDavid is faster in every way. Acceleration, top speed, with and without the puck.

You may not think your a Homer....... McD is faster with or without the puck. It amazes me some times that McD seems to be faster with the puck than without.
