Why is this even a question? Of course he’s the best player. Him and McDavid are the best in the world.
Im sorry but on what planet is Matthews considered a well rounded player? He is the same as Ovechkin in 2010. Doesn't play defense, barely passes, and is self centered. And he doesn't even hit like Ovechkin. Matthews is 1 dimensional. MacKinnon is even more dimensional than McDavid. MacKinnon will run you the fuck over in addition to everything else. Sorry but Matthews doesn't belong in the conversation of best all around players. Makar and Pasta and a few others over Matthews
Matthew's is an amazing 200 foot player so not sure what you're talking about bud.
Haven't heard wysh since the MvsW days, so weird hearing him praise the Avs seeing how he hated them from '01 😂
Mackinnon has the ability to flip a switch and go crazy psychopath and take over a game. We saw that at the end of the 2nd of the Penguins game when he got hooked with no call. He channeled that into an unbelievable 3rd period. That’s what McDavid and Matthews don’t have…yet
Maybe MacK is the best all around, maybe, but can we please give him the Hart this season? He is overdue, he has been robbed in the past and he has as good a claim this season as anyone.
Kucherov is my leader in the MVP race
Congrats to OSU. But Gophers vs Badgers is tips by far in women's college hockey. Buckeyes still new to the top.
McDavid is no 1. Stop it. This video is click bait. No more no less.
Kuch leads Mac in every respect over the last 5 years. Ross, MVP, two cups, Lindsey, led the playoffs in scoring with over 30 plus points two years in a row. Only other players to do so is named Wayne and Mario.
One overlooked stat is Macs playing time. He plays a min a game more than Kuch and McDavid.
That might not seem like alot but over a 80 game schedule that is 80mins or 4 total games more than Kuch or McDavid.
How many more points would they have?
Over the last 5 years played Kuch is second in ppg at 1.48. Mac is at 1.42ppg. Fairly even. They are equals in my opinion right now. The stats support this. Even this year.
McDavid is on another tier. His 1.64 ppg is considerable over Kuch and Mac.
This video isnt based on facts or numbers at all. ESPN should do better.
People getting triggered, loving it. Same as when Max Verstappen dominates in F1. Nathan goated.
The answer is yes. Yes he is. Please refer to the 2022 Western Conference Finals if there is any doubt in your mind.
For media scoring is most important, i understand but i hope they can get over only such primitive adrenaline catching moment as main valuations what good hockey game mean
I don't think Mack cares about the Hart. He wants his name on the cup again.
Zegras stays in Anaheim as a winger
Not watching the whole thing. Yes he is.
The dogg is the best
Hands down. No question
MacKinnon makes every single player around him better – every time the Avs pick up a player from another team, Mack makes them better. He's an angry player in a sense that if he wants to win, he will win. He's the best all-around player in the league.
There's a reason why people refer to him as Nate Dawg
No reason for this title. Mac is literally the best player in the world.
Nathan MacKinnon : Michael Jordan :: Connor McDavid : LeBron James
2nd best.
Mackinnon is the best all around player, mcdavid is the most skilled player.
