I hope too but he’s definitely priced himself out of Colorado.

I doubt we can afford him, especially if Gabe makes a come back. I hope we find a way though

Hes would have to take a massive discount. He played himself back into a money contract and we dont have that money, especially because we need to keep mittelstadt around. But if he wants to play another year for 1 million, we'd be overjoyed to have him

Me too, but his play has probably priced himself out of Colorado. Landeskog will be back next season and they want to keep Walker, there won't be enough money for everyone.

@@ostarakonrad9907im pretty sure, he want to stay in colorado, if he want to stay he know that it gotta be a capfriendly deal

If Mackinnon gets the record for the only man to score a point in every home game this year he's the mvp. The art Ross I'm concerned he won't get. Don't give the kucherov deal. People are saying if he wasn't there they be down at the bottom of the league. With the season he's having and the talent on that roster the fact there a wild card team is disturbing. McDavid may get 100 assists but that start of the year probably will hold him back

Massive Avs fan, and though the 25 comeback wins is legit.....I sure wish we did not HAVE to come back that often. We need to remedy that issue, and start scoring first.....especially come playoffs. These guys are sick, and I'm excited to see how far they'll go!

Would be the greatest individual season in recent history!

@@user-sx5dc4sz2zSame as an Oilers fan

@@liamobrien2979You’re joking, right?

To be fair, Darcy was playing with one eye.

Kuemper got jabbed in the eye. Frankie is an awesome backup

I got 8.5 to 1 odds a couple weeks ago on them.I had to take Edmonton as well at lower a lower payout.Mcdavid and Mackinnon are the best players I've ever watched in over 40 years of watching and playing a ton of hockey in Minnesota.I wonder if there will ever even be anyone better than those two in the future. They are so insanely good that I doubt anyone human will ever be better! With all the evil going on in the world now it's a blessing to watch these guys killin it every game!

So do the Jets, VGK, FLA, NYR and Canes. And maybe BOS, Nucks, Dallas, Oilers...there are a lot of teams that have looked really strong.

With all due respect the avs probably lose that game 4-1 without Nate.

@@loguski755 The Avs will not get past Vegas.

@@rickhammond2473 vegas doesn't stand a chance

@@rickhammond2473 🤡

Usually the phrase "a different animal" implies superiority but in this case it is accurate without one player being head and shoulders over the other. McDavid is nimbler and a better playmaker but MacKinnon is simply stronger and has a better shot. It's cool to prefer MacKinnon's more physical playstyle but let's not act like he can "turn it up to another gear" in a way McDavid can't. MacKinnon was huge for the Avs winning the cup but McDavid wrote the book on turning it up to another gear the last couple playoffs. Even this season he put the Oilers on his back when they were struggling.

Kuemper is 10x better than Georgiev on his worst. Good luck haha

You clearly have not watched georgiev enoguh@@prozac.

@@prozac.this has to be sarcasm right?

@@prozac. georgie had the same amount of shutouts in his first year with the avs as kempuer did in the cup run and georgies first year we never had a full line up all year 9 games all year we had a full roster so there u go boy

Mackinnon>>>>>>>> overrated mcdavid

@@shoresy4084 I’m a huge Avs-fan and very much biased as well but man, you can’t call a 153 point guy overrated

Nobody can shut down mcdavid

@@tdfmtigzero points last time he played the Avs

@@tdfmtig perhaps ou missed the playoff series where they did just that 5 on 5

It was the Nate verses Sid game. You just know they were taking it too that level.

Who cares penguins are trash

​@@apapz3245 it takes one to know one

I think they played well for half of it, exceptionally well actually. But Gino was a ghost.

@ericksonjustinAK They did well enough to eliminate most of the Av's offensive threats, but you can't do that for a whole game. Maybe that indicates a coaching issue, maybe it's a lack of passion from players. Either way they let Sid down

This is spot on. Think of Sid's legacy. He not only is in the conversation for greatest ever, but he has mentored a generational player in MacKinnon, who was on the path toward a Drouin-type career (not to that degree, but underwhelming compared to what his ceiling can be seen for now). For Crosby to pay that forward into MacKinnon, and for the love and respect to exist between them that is clearly there, that's the thing that truly separates Sid. He can do everything on the ice that every other "great" player has ever been able to do, but he's found a way to truly infuse his greatness into others as well. Just incredible.

Yeah if you think about his playoffs, really his first playoffs was his first time looking like a superstar. Probably helped him believe when it got tough after. Every playoffs since he's shown. Now he's so consistent and added so much to his game. You absolutely have to love him for two reason, his playoff hockey. Maybe more evident, his constant maturation, this is all hard work adding up. Every single part of his game and his physical ability getting better step by step, widening the skillset step by step, more consistent as he goes, that screams hard work. Eventually it put him over and he's only locked in more mentally since. Not even the 12.5 Mil a year can stop him.

4 points but a +/- of 0

I'll take MacKinnon over McDavid any day solely cuz he's our guy but also because he's a proven Stanley Cup Champion and that's where it matters most, in the playoffs

@@rademfam6856 I mean he’s not afraid to check and he is willing to drop back for defense, I respect that type of guy

Big facts.

Agreed, mcdavid is too busy cherry picking for his next rush

toronto?

@@kingmrmoose580I was just thinking Toronto lol

Colorado is the best come back team in the NHL. That's what makes them scary good.

I think so too. First Cup was against a florida team second cup was against a North Eastern team third cup florida team now its time for another north easter team/NY area . and the rangers are good so if we meet its gonna go 7

I’m going to that game here in Denver… I agree two best teams.

lol im not, this is the worst Pens team in 20 years and for the past 2 they have been notorious for blowing leads. Trust me, i'd leave my friends house after the pens up 2-0 or 4-1 and get home and they lose 2-3 or 4-5. The Defense is trash and Jarry cant thrive in important moments

You shouldn't be. They have more blown leads when leading after 2 periods than any other team the last 2 seasons.

He's the only reason we gave them a first for Sean Walker, he prolly would've only demanded a 2nd but we needed to give Philly some incentive to take on RyJo's contract.

He was toxic in the locker room apparently

@@DammitBobby And on the ice. He ruined a line each night he was on the ice and as great as all the additions were, the subtraction from the lineup might be the best move they made at the deadline.

Not to mention he’s more of a competitor. If McDavid was down 4-0 he’d throw one of his little hissy fits and the game would be as good as done

@@JannickVerburg why are there so many that seem to dying to polish nates shaft? it doesnt make any sense for me

@@levihornqvist9191because to many people he’s the most entertaining player to watch, his skating style is very unique. A superstar power forward who plays with edge.

McDavid has much better defensive impact metrics than MacKinnon this season.

@@michaelshields6326 ya sure showed in the first 20 games eh lol , edmonton is lucky there are in the pacific if they were in the central they would still be outta the playoffs

Same. I get the feeling Malkin sees the playoffs as "out of reach", and at 37yrs old, he's mentally packed it in. That's the difference between he and Crosby. Syd goes 100% near every game.

@user-sx5dc4sz2z Definitely.

so technically $35 win then lol

Haha I see what you did there

No

No

@@lukerlunker who asked u dummy

@@lukerlunker I d i o T

hahaha mackinno is about to win his first hart LOL lets be real if mcdavid played for the avs instead of mackinno the avs wouldve won 4 cups by now and if mackinno played for the oilers it would be the same story no cups

its a smaller differance between Max Pacioretty and Roman Josi to McKinnon than it is between McDavid to McKinnon in ppg over career, that is a fact

@@levihornqvist9191mackinnon plays a complete game where mcdavid hunts for offensive chances. If Mackinnon cherry picked every play and didn’t play defense it would probably be a lot closer.

@@cal8362 mcdavid cherry picks hahah sure tell me u never watched him play.. dumbest statement ever

@cal8362 mcdavid pretty much sets up all the plays from his end to the offensive! Cherry picks hahaha...what r u a leafs fan? Sounds like something a dumb ass leafs fan would say

ya a sweet little 1 mil 1 year contract would be nice :P

na... I feel bad for Crosby.

makar and teows on the back end , uh oh

its a smaller differance between Max Pacioretty and Roman Josi to McKinnon than it is between McDavid to McKinnon in ppg over career, that is a fact

No, the Avs needed mackinnons defense to win.

Doubt. MacKinnon plays a more physical game, and that's always a plus come playoffs.

if mcdavid played for us we would be just like the oilers a loser team with no cap space cause mcmuffin took it all and couldnt build a team lmao mack took a team friendly deal we won then he got his big money , and thats why mcmuffin will never win a cup unless hes a rental at 38 lmao oilers management is garbage to lol we got 3 cups in 25 years how many u got ? hmmmm zero in 36 eh lmao one cup final lmao one conference final lol oilers will never win with mcdavid cause he plays for the name on the back not the logo on the front

McDavid is an amazing player in his own right, and Oilers are a different kind of team. @@tophercabba

The Pens might be bad but the Avs are most certainly that good. I actually don't think the Pens are terrible, we are just used to seeing them be a lot better and seeing them slip to 'average' is something that hasn't happened for a long time. The Avs played probably their worst first period all year and still found a way to get it done. When they are 'on' I don't know if there are any teams that can hang with them. There are 2 ways to beat the Avs right now..catch them early or catch them late. Teams will try jump on them to get an early lead and hope to hell they can hang onto it....or play it tight, hang around, keep it close and hope the Avs have a lapse in the third. All that said, if Colorado plays a lights out full 60 minute game I don't see any team surviving that.

@@CJ-1776 I know they’re good I just don’t want to face reality that the dark days may be upon us much earlier than we thought lmao

@@andrewnelson7010 I hate seeing Sid still playing lights out and giving it everything on a pretty mediocre team. Seems like a waste of a really good season from him.
