No way that was anything but fantastic luck.

Nate misses the net, but rarely has a clean shot like that and misses that wildly tho. That was Bura/Compher levels of miss.

I’m an optimist to a fault, so I voted Yes, but it was flukey skill. Thank you for the clip @wayninja

 

[El Travo]

He was just firing it off as quickly as he could.

 

[wayninja]

I find this lack of faith... disturbing.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

He missed a pretty open net earlier firing the puck about 5 feet over the net.

 

[LTC Pain]

Intentionally awesome pass!

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

MacKinnon was actually trying to bank it off Crosby’s big ugly face

 

[Ararana]

I don't think he did, but if he did it was f***ing awesome.


..... so yes.

 

[missionAvs]

Yeah no way he did that on purpose lol. He shot way wide and luckily the puck bounced to Toews.

 

[The Moops]

Intentional. Look at the stance he took on that swing. No way he was going for the net

 

[RoyIsALegend]

If it was Rantanen or another elite level IQ player, I could believe it.

MacK? Nope, doesn’t have that vision. That was an awful shot.

I'd love to think it was on purpose. But it seems like he just happy gilmored it as hard as he could and got super lucky. I can't imagine anyone would fire off a pass that hot, other than Bura to Kadri the other night.

He almost certainly considered the energy lost due to heat, sound, as well as the somewhat inelastic nature of the the material he was shooting against...

That's why he was late to the play, he was on the bench doing his trajectory calculations. f*** the haters that say Mack has low IQ. The reason Mack operates at such a high rate of speed is because literally every neuron is firing at the same time.

Unintentionally intentional

 

[drhiii]

It doesn't matter if he did it on purpose or not. I want it to be true.

[Tweaky]

yes

The Dandruff of the Gods has that affect on human neurology.

 

[lionsDen]

Hmm good question. I’m not sure

 

[Avsboy]

There's just not enough time for Mack to get in position, survey the ice, and let off that type of shot as a planned bank pass.
