Take a bow Nathan MacKinnon. You’re the best player in the National Hockey League.
MacKinnon ran away with the Hart Trophy as the league MVP and won the Ted Lindsay Award, the award given to the most outstanding player as voted on by the players.
It’s a long overdue award for MacKinnon and the writers finally righted a wrong in giving him his first Hart.
We break it all down and hand Fredrik Oloffson his season grade!

ahhhh ahahahahahhahaa woooo 🙂 .
Good for Mack! Some lightning fans arent happy but when Mackinnon also won the ted lindsey, well they're pretty much disagreeing with the entire league now so…deal with it.
Plus good for hughes but, and this is no shade to Helle but…i had this mental image of mack and makar sitting next to each other laughing amongst themselves because of how the jets avs series went. Like i know those two have more class then me but I found that thought very entertaining. Mildly toxic on my end though.
here fresh off the beating trump handed biden hooooooooooo lol bloodbath lmao
It was so awkward when the host came to interview him or like sort of roast or whatever he was trying to do it was cringe lol
Guys remember when….😂 Mvp! My fav athlete! Always thought he was the best! He had more defensive responsibility as a C and wouldve won the Art Ross if you take away all empty net points, which kucherry pickerov set a record for emott net points this year. And just look at the domination in nhl edge stats like miles skated, speed bursts… Mack is so electric, hardworking and it motivates teammates to get healthier, faster, stronger, better… if kucherov had more than 50 points more than his next best teammate, it's likely that mack wouldve inspired those guys to work harder and produce more. In other words you cant just compare a menial stat like that and make it what wins you the hart. The players agree too if that says anything! Im from syracuse where there is the syracuse crunch lightning farm team, so it has been annoying to see lightning fans cry when both the media and players agreed mack is the better player this year.
If you find out who voted MacKinnon for 5th, will you please let us know?
Wooot. Let’s go Mack!
MacKinnon >>>>>>>> McDavid: CONFIRMED
Well deserved for Mack, what I love about Mack is his work ethic and I think he’s a great role model for the youngsters of putting in hard work day in day out. He leaves everything on the ice. On the32 thoughts podcast he mentioned how he knows a hockey career is a short one and he’s giving everything he’s got while he can, doesn’t take anything for granted.
Olofsson got scratched once Trenin came over. He signed in Sweden for next season already
I absolutely cannot stand when people talk about McDavid and say things like "oh hes far and away the best player, its not even close". Thats insulting to Mack first and foremost but also Makar, Matthews, Kucherov etc.
Im so glad Mack finally got the Hart, so well deserved and im glad i was wrong before this year saying theyd never give it to him
Let's add a few dozen more +s to Nate's season grade. This is just excellent.
I was really surprised at the vote disparity between Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar. It wasn't even close. The awards show was the worst presented production I've ever seen. Painful to watch.
All that matters is we resigned out 2nd center for cheap
McDavid won the Con Smythe because he wasn't going to win any other award this year. (kidding!)
Finally, Nathan MacKinnon got the awards he deserves. Congrats, Nate!! I always said, you are THE BEST player in the NHL!!!
