GDT: Yotes @ Avs | 4pm MT | GDT Positivity Edition

MacKinnon just said he might be better than Goulet someday but not Sakic LOL. Gotta love the honesty. More players should just shoot straight

 

[UncleRisto]

Michel Goulet is nothing to me on these stat highlights.

Nate agrees.

 

[dahrougem2]

I think Bednar is gonna have a hard time sitting Malgin once we get guys back. Aside from the great goal he made a lot of good plays and had a couple chances.

He easily stays over Newhook. It isn't close right now. One guy is producing and engaging. The other is avoiding contact like the plague.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Good guy Makar making sure Bedard has a better chance of not heading to Arizona before sealing it.

The kid’s a Saint.

 

[dahrougem2]

Makar chirped one of the Avs reporters for wearing a bad shirt lol

Mack is definitely a more talented, dynamic offensive player, but I don't ever see him scoring 50 goals in a season, or passing Goulet's 548 career goals. Don't think he'll ever hit 100 pts. in a season either.

Sammy G with yet another almost perfect game

He needs 23 points in 18 games to hit 100. At his pace he easily hits it this season.

If he keeps this up it makes it easier to trade Toews this summer

Goulet is probably even more dynamic than Mack when accounting for era.

I’d agree with 50 in a season and 548 career, but I don’t agree with the 100 points in a season. If he stays healthy rest of the season, he might get it this year, but even if not this year, I’m sure he’ll get it someday

Really? You think we’d trade Girard for Jonathan Toews?

I hope Chicago is adding.

“I really liked how they looked against the worst team in the league”

Big ups to that line.

(Jokes aside they were solid tonight)

This year is his big chance to do it.

Goo had Peter Stastny feeding him, which certainly helped.

MacK will go down as a top-5 player of his era. Goulet wasn’t that.

 

[sethro109]

MacK is always pacing for more than 100 points. Just his style of play comes with too many injuries, but it's also what makes him so great and dangerous for us.

 

[the_fan]

The way I look at it is MacK is a 100 point player but can’t stay healthy enough to hit it

 

[The Merchant]

 

[dahrougem2]

That is a loud building. Love to see it.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Great pick from Mikko.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Malgin. MacKinnon. Makar.

Very nice.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Greg Mauldin!

I'm rarely wrong, unlike @The Kingslayer, but I'm glad to be wrong about this one.

Im 90% correct on my predictions this season.

Thought this game was on at 7 for some reason. Nice to see Malgin continue to score along with Mackinnon extending his point streak at home. Bo Byram needs to wake up. No idea wat the hell has happened to him the last little while but this team needs him to be better. Alot better.

Goulet scored most his goals around the greasy areas in close. You didn't have as much freewheeling back then as you have now, with the exception of the Gretzky & Co. Oilers. The Nordiques were pretty high-flying too, but that was primarily the Stastny Bros. as opposed to Michel Goulet. In open ice, or in terms of stickhandling in traffic to get a shot off--Mack is hands-down the better player. But battling thru defenders to clean up a rebound--Goulet was money in the bank.

Hitting 100 points after missing as much time as he did would be an impressive achievement. I like the fact that he's in striking range, because you know Mack's motivated to reach that milestone. And a motivated #29 is the straw that stirs the drink with this team.
