I had a buddy do something like this in a pick up game once. A kid went to clear it off the boards and he just reached up and cradled it back like it was lacrosse; it's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
It was pretty awesome he did that but honestly anyone in the NHL could catch a puck in mid air on their stick its not that hard of a thing to do considering their levels of hand eye coordination.
Am I really the first to point out that this isn't that difficult with a fluttering puck like that? As a beer league hockey player I could have caught that puck 50% of the time, and I am in no way overly confident in my skills… it's just really not that hard.
I'm going to agree with most people that this is not very hard to do. But he was watching the play, tracked the puck and happened to be in the right place at the right time. I think this is more of a video based on that rather than how much or how little skill is required to do this.
Mackinnon is having a good year. I dont understand why everyone is complaining. He had a slow start last year aswell. Plus it is hard to put up good numbers when your team is in the bottom 10 for Goals Per Game
Iggy should have stayed in Boston. Colorado is not a good fit for him… i am happy they are struggling, now Iggy will regret giving Boston the short end of the stick twice. Mercenary…

Sidney crosby could do that blinded…..
fake.
just kidding… totally sick.
Too bad he sucks this year, of course I took the bust in fantasy.
Crosby catching them with his face seems a whole lot more badass. Until of course you get ALL of the details.
No. Vid or it didn't happen D:<<<<<<
not bad
this doesn't impress me because i've known mackinnon is jesus for a long time now
@Raw Power What are you talking about? It's very hard to do. Especially when the puck is fluttering.
Guys, this is my first comment on my new laptop. I am so happy that I got it.
Big deal. Anyone can do this.
Мастер!!!
It's called hand-eye cordination

Obviously MacKinnon did not play video games when he was a kid, that's when you have time to master some street skills.
Hilarious how Mackinnon stares into the crowd to make sure they saw it as well.
Thug life
Say what
Should've kept the play going 😉
