  1. Fun Fact: No disrespect to Nathan MacKinnon but since he joined the Avs, they haven't been able to win a Game 7 since.

    2014: Lost in 7 to Wild in R1
    2018: Lost in 6 to Preds in R1
    2019: Lost in 7 to Sharks in R2
    2020: Lost in 7 to Stars in R2
    2021: Lost in 6 to Knights in R2

    Had the Avalanche forced Game 7…idk.

  2. should have showed the whole interview. the other questions werent as bad but they were still terrible. seems like they were pranking him. was so weird to watch

  3. Nathan MacKinnon is my favourite player in the league so I felt so bad at him at the press conference. He's a player I would love to see win a Stanley Cup!

  4. Lmao what's he expect the Avs to do, go full Leroy Jenkins in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

  5. Please don't bring the A's into this. We have enough problems as a small market team who can't keep talent. And for all the blown game 7's the Leafs have……well the A's have had worse. Damn. Maybe it's me.

  6. Have you ever been overly tired and you try to say something but the words won't come out of your mouth right that's what it sound like when you ask that question it sounded like like his brain had a fart

  7. As a long time Denver native and Avs fan – this has to do with A Dater specifically. AD is notorious around here for his… spicy takes. One of which is that the Avs are only a good team when they're an underdog. He thinks they can't win when they have the pressure of the spotlight, because they 'overthink everything'.

    thats where his question comes from: a deeply held, longstanding belief by that guy that the avs get in their own head too much. I think this context is helpful

  8. Adrian dater is the worst “beat writer” for Colorado. His Colorado hockey now blog had a “slew foot” article for the Mack injury last year. I called him out for the click bait and he blocked me.

  9. NHL playoffs is a different sport compared to NHL regular season as we all know. Team concept is accentuated more for playoff hockey and goaltending needs to be flawless as we all know.

  10. For the most part VGK succeeded at shutting down Nathan MacKinnon in the 2nd round of the playoffs. That is the type of player role assignment you don't see as much in the regular season, aka the "shadow player".

  11. Just before Nate came on, Landeskog answered some questions. Dater asked him basically the same question with a 'Jesus Christ' in there.
    Clown.

  12. Dater can go back and say he "mangled" the question all he wants. Doesn't matter. This is Nathan MacKinnon. Perhaps the NHL star who most hates talking to the media. He's like a more reserved Russell Westbrook when it comes to pressers. AND Dater has been covering the Avs long enough to know, that even had he worded it properly, Nate would have been JUST AS disgusted with it as he was with the "mangled" version.
    Dater tries too hard. The guys I can access for free via podcast at DNVR can inform me of the insider news better than Colorado Hockey Now can.
    He needs to get a grip and a feel for this team he covers. This is the 3rd year in a row where MacKinnon has had to deal with one of these pressers.

  13. Just think if Nathan MacKinnon played for the Leafs the fans would want him traded with 9 years and no cup.

  14. Dater use to be on the DNVR podcast (used to be BSN) which in my opinion is the best Avs coverage. He’s no longer apart of it, but at the time all he would do is argue with the other hosts because he didn’t know anything 😂 he’s quite the character

  15. 104.3 the fan doesn't really care about Hockey or anything other than Football. So having him on there is about right.

  16. Yeah, not a chance that guy works at the Denver Post, a decent paper.
