One of my favorite Mic'd Up moments was when Alex Pietrangelo says, "Uh oh" when he see's Nate Dog coming straight at him and then proceeds to blow right by him and score a goal. haha classic
@@cuylerpenrod1031 The difference may be what gets them angry. With Nate, it's anger at himself for not performing as he believes he can, for not overcoming the obstacles in front of him or others thinking he can't. With Malkin, it seems more about how he gets revenge for him or his teammates being mistreated, not for him feeling he'd missed an opportunity to progress through his own effort. Sure, frustration is part of it for both, but for Mac, the anger others fear is the anger at himself., When he pissed at the refs or another player for doing him dirty that still shows as a smashed stick, splattered water bottle, or a string of words that gets him in the penalty box. When his competitive spirit is questioned by others or more importantly by himself it gets him angry at himself... that's when he'll drop 5+ points on you--and make sure 3 other Avs get at least 3+ points each.
Hopefully Nathan and Mikko will stay healthy all year and prove they are the best duo in the NHL since their Cup year or the year before it was showing signs.
Angry Nate is the scariest player in the league. As an avs fan McDavid is consistently the better player (how much is debatable). But when Mack is angry there’s nobody better.
Haha. I made this video before he posted that video. I decided to parallel him because we’re talking about the two MVPs of the NBA and NHL who just so happen to play in the same arena and are the same age. It’s a crazy parallel
Avs fan here, no joke, said after that season we'd turn it around, make the cup final in 5 years and win it in 6. Winning it in 5 was just perfect, called it, called it, fucking called it lol
3:33 This goal by MacKinnon in Game 2 Round 1 of the 2019 playoffs is the moment MacKinnon cemented himself as my 3rd favorite player of all time behind Sakic and Forsberg.
wild to think we got not only nate but kuch, mcdavid, matthews, kaprizov, rantanen, reinhart, ect all putting up crazy numbers at the same time what a great era this is shaping up to be
Shameless brag, but I was having a beer with a Stanley Cup winning Dman in summer 2014. Being an Avs fan, I asked him about MacKinnon. He stated that MacK was the scariest player in the league to face 1 on 1.Granted, this was before McDavid was drafted, so it may have changed since. But at the time. Sid, Ovi, Kane, etc. were in their primes, so still pretty impressive.
I remember watching a game that bad Colorado year. They were playing the Flames and getting pounded. Kelly Hrudey said, "This is really sad. They've just given up." That's nice guy Kelly Hrudey who doesn't take gratuitous shots at teams or players. That's how bad the Avs were, and you saw the players they had and knew they were good players and wondered how they could be so bad. I think it was the way Patrick Roy up and quit them right before the season started. Everything was upset and they never recovered.
Patrick Roy was an impatient coach. He bit off more than he could chew when he tried to interfere with Sakic's management decisions. I loved him as a player, but I'm glad he's gone. I do hope he succeeds in with the Islanders though.
Skating, shooting, stick-handling, passing, everything Nate does is top 5 in the league in terms of speed. But when he gets the puck, all of it goes from top 5 to top 1.
I still think McDavids peak is better than Mackinnon but he’s up there in second. McDavid would have had 2 seasons on pace for 153 points if not for the COVID year and a 140 point pace last year.
Kuch is the only player in the modern era on pace for consecutive 140pt seasons. Mac was never on pace for 153pts. 100 assists and breaking multiple records. He is on pace for 140pts again. Again he is outpacing Mac. And McDavid. This channel is like a Macinnon fan page.😅 His 140 pts last year was impressive, historic, how? It just wasn't. Second? How so? Kuch beats him in every metric career wise. Awards, cups, ppg etc. But Kuches was. For many different reasons. He tied or broke records. What record did Mac break last year? No one mentions how Mac plays the most minutes of any forward in the NHL. He played 60 more minutes than Kuch so far this year, and six more games. Those 60 minutes equates to three whole games. So he played the equilivent in minutes 9 more games than Kuch but only 4 more points.
@@soulknife20 Thats your rebuttal? 😂 He wins too much. He sat out a whole friggin season and led the playoffs in scoring and won a cup. Yeah. Nice logic.
Case in point: One game vs VAN, Avs are up in the closing seconds. Calvert takes a shot to the head and goes down. The refs don't blow the whistle for 20 secs as Calvert is struggling and can't get up. Canucks tie the game. In OT Mack gets the puck, torches everyone and scores.
Yep! Started watching hockey in 95… not a bad time to start in Colorado.. and restarted just by chance in 19’… not bad either. Seeing Mack develop as the most explosive and passionate player has been a real head shaker. There will be a sad day in the next 4-5 years I might stop watching again… I don’t envy that person
what kuch has been doing has been unreal too but he was fortunate to have had stamkos guide him for the first decade of his career while mackinnon had very little support (at first) i mean the avs haven't had a player like mack since sakic. Ofc not trynna diminish anyone's value but one had such good support around them for lengthy periods which resulted in them breaking out early while the other didn't ant it took a minute to reach his full potential
The problem woth this channel is every prospect is "generational", every stat is a "record", any growth is "exponential", any retired player is a "legend", any change is "shocking", and any random moment "changes the league FOREVER"
I've been arguing MacKinnon is the best in the game for 4 years. I hate the Avs, long time red wings fan. I was a teenager in the mid 90's during their peak rivalry. I do not like saying nice things about the avs but I stand by my declaration of nathan MacKinnon
ColoRADo is Chicagos' Streak killer, First was in the lockout year, (where black hawks won 30 wins? straight.) and the second time was Patrick Kane's point streak.. (3 years after the latest lockout)
I have argued in the recent past that mac is the best player. Mostly for the sake of fun hockey debate but while mcd is the height of speed and skill, Mac brings a game that dog on a bone game, which will drive a team forward more then skill can.
You're young Rob, so I'll forgive you not being there for the greatest peak. Oct 28 1981-April 2 1985. I'm weighting this peak toward scoring goals so it entirely skips the NHL record season for assists and points. 303 games, 315 goals, 474 assists, 789 points. We're talking about a guy who for a bunch of consecutive years was winning the scoring title by an average of 75 points.
mackinnon to me should've had the hart trophy in 2018 cause of his breakout in the 2017-2018 campaign and how he carried the avs from dead last to the playoffs the very last day of the season and had more points in fewer games than hall. Hall and the devils ofc had an amazing year but idk it just seems like mack really took off compared to him
I think this is over reading the data. Kinda like flipping a coin six times for every game, and thinking of the number heads as the number of points a player gets. Then coming up with a story that explains why some games are high and some are low. But maybe I'm wrong - let's see how long the trend continues!
I would never challenge the fact that MacKinnon is one of the best players in the world, but his abilities only underscore the true greatness of McDavid. It seems like 90% of Nate's best moments illustrate the premise of this video: cartoonish, berserker charges, leaning into a 45 degree angle with his feet a whirling blur right on the cusp of losing control, whereas, in a game, when these charges don't work out, he very often has difficulty finding an escape option for the puck. It's like he's chosen his play and sells out for it and hopes for the best. McDavid generates the same speed with an upright control that not only looks casual by comparison, but with his head up scanning the play he keeps all options open and only needs to eat the puck in the corner when the defense has absolutely everything locked down.
MacKinnon is better than McDavid today. Period. Stop dick riding him on a vid about Nate Mack. And speed? No, Mack is the fastest skater there is, McDavid CANNOT keep up with him on a straight up drag race
Mcdavid is Crosby/Gretzky while Mackinnon is Ovechkin/Lemiuex. Mcdavid/Crosby/Gretzky were mostly better throughout there careers but there were points where Mackinnon/Ovechkin/Lemiuex were better in their respective eras.
FYI Gretzky Had a 3 points avg for 51 games in a row in 83-84 51 GP 61 G 92 A for 153 points…Even if more goals were scored back then no other player were even close to that, so please stop comparing players to Gretzky…only Lemieux can be compared to him
The goalies he played against we especially bad. This also doesn't mention the fact that players were never allowed to touch Gretzky, nor did he play physical at all, unlike Lemieux, who laid out the body, despite all his health issues. @@rmay16
Gee, Nathan MacKinnon, yeah, I guess I'll take him off your hands. In a freaking heartbeat!!! While you're at it, I'll take Makar off your hands too. Rantanen, yeah, let's make that all three.

@@Plaitonic True. Many don’t recall the long slow decline into mediocrity that led to the complete collapse of 2016-17. But we will again, and I fear sooner rather than later… due to our unique (read Landy) cap issues and diminished prospects depth. But we’ve been on a wagon since and deserve to have pride in the team for which we root. We were spoiled when the team arrived and then immediately won the cup. Then won it again just 5 years later. 21 years passed and for most fans when they won it in ‘22, it was as if the disappointments disappeared (or never existed. But there is a video of me at Amalie for game 6, at the final buzzer, with happy tears rolling down my face as I scream “21 years! 21 years! We did it!” We got 3 of the top 10 players in the world playing for us (maybe 5 of the top 25) and the unrealistically inflated expectations that brings to the ultimate team sport.
I think his home point streak was around 35 games in a row last year, and had the longest point streak of the season. To call the leading scorer a “point anchor” is not intelligent…
@cal8362 Last season has no impact on the "better than Gretzky" number here. I was pointing out the small sample fallacy that takes 47 points in 31 games and splits it into 19 points 6 games, 0 points in 1 game, and 28 points in 24 games. Neither the pointlessness nor hotness are statistically significant.
You're seat geek prices are that cheap cuz you're in Calgary rn. I used to get these prices in Edmonton until they started winning. Before McDavid as low as 17 a ticket. But if you live in Vancouver Winnipeg or a playoff team market is not happening at less than 50 (Canadian markets)
Mackinnon, Rant. and Makar need to stop focusing only on scoring. There defense is a joke as shown by their pathetic plus minus in comparison to all the other top points leaders.
I have been saying for a while that the Avs don't pay enough attention to the D zone, outscoring their problems since Roy was the coach. Just look at the game last night against the Preds. Hemmed in their own zone for nearly the entire first period, and bailed out by goaltending stopping 37/39 shots in what should have been an easy 2 points against an overreaching Nashville team. That is not sustainable, and not a championship caliber effort. And sure, Bednar said there is a bug going around the locker room and 'energy is a bit sapped,' but you can only make so many excuses.
I saw an advanced stat on moneypuck that said mack and rant change when they should be backchecking way too often. Not sure makar can be lumped into the defensive woes tho.
@@macsimpson7771I think, from watching the games, they spend a bunch of time in the offensive zone, so when the puck comes out, they are at the end of their shift.
All Mackinnon does is whine and complain. 😂😂 Doesn't get his way or god forbid someone hits him he has a complete breakdown Ah yes.. can't forget he's always trying to Marty McSorely other players and throwing helmets at heads
Nice proof that the "professional" is broken. They do, when they want to do. They get paid , only when they do what they do. Then I wont be seeing anymore thrown games. Pathetic! No place in the game!

Angry Nate is contagious. When he gets going, the other team freezes up in fear and the rest of the Avs feed off his uncontained rage.

For me, stats have often too much weight in deciding this... Nate´s impact in the playoffs is too powerful to be overlooked...

But I’m glad you talked about it
If MacKinnon just watched the 2017 Hab replay before every game, he'd easily eclipse 200 points

Mack is so fast in person

Someone just watched the Jokic Jxmmy video lol
The NHL peaked in the 70s 80s and 90s. NHL now is too much of a business and is too soft.
All I heard was bet big on McKinnon after an off night
7:59 So basically, McKinnon is normally a pointless anchor, but he has short flashes of greatness that paper over the dry spells?
I think his home point streak was around 35 games in a row last year, and had the longest point streak of the season. To call the leading scorer a “point anchor” is not intelligent…
@cal8362 Last season has no impact on the "better than Gretzky" number here. I was pointing out the small sample fallacy that takes 47 points in 31 games and splits it into 19 points 6 games, 0 points in 1 game, and 28 points in 24 games. Neither the pointlessness nor hotness are statistically significant.
You're seat geek prices are that cheap cuz you're in Calgary rn. I used to get these prices in Edmonton until they started winning. Before McDavid as low as 17 a ticket. But if you live in Vancouver Winnipeg or a playoff team market is not happening at less than 50 (Canadian markets)
There was zero point or conclusion to this. Yeah, he's a good player. Cool
It was just a fun video talking about the career of Mack and his emotional ability to take over games. Not everything has to be serious
6:03 Nathan can you please tell me why you killed this young man
Nate is a winner. McMuffin ain't.
Someone watched the jxmy video
Nah peak was early 90s
no. no we are not.
He proves Canada 🇨🇦 produces the best hockey players. And we have many more.
Nah Kuch has more skill
Except for goaltenders
Holy early what the hell
The avs problem is their defensemen are to small and non physical, except for Josh Manson.
Here you are. Spouting nonsense again.
avs had 2/3 of the same D core during the cup run
@@pritok6The dude has no clue what he's talking about. He posts this on every Avs video
As an Avs fan I do not like Girard
@@itsbrucie1662He is either good or bad. There's no in between. He's been way more physical this seaspn.
McDavid and MacKinnon have the same amount of Stanley cups as Pierre McGuire.
MacKinnon won a cup genius
@bobbyskinner8146 so did Pierre McGuire, genius.
Mackinnon, Rant. and Makar need to stop focusing only on scoring.
There defense is a joke as shown by their pathetic plus minus in comparison to all the other top points leaders.
I have been saying for a while that the Avs don't pay enough attention to the D zone, outscoring their problems since Roy was the coach.
Just look at the game last night against the Preds. Hemmed in their own zone for nearly the entire first period, and bailed out by goaltending stopping 37/39 shots in what should have been an easy 2 points against an overreaching Nashville team. That is not sustainable, and not a championship caliber effort. And sure, Bednar said there is a bug going around the locker room and 'energy is a bit sapped,' but you can only make so many excuses.
I saw an advanced stat on moneypuck that said mack and rant change when they should be backchecking way too often. Not sure makar can be lumped into the defensive woes tho.
@@macsimpson7771I think, from watching the games, they spend a bunch of time in the offensive zone, so when the puck comes out, they are at the end of their shift.
you spelled kaprizov wrong
Nah.
You only picked 2012 cause if you went 2013-2014 you would have overlapping. Sid… pick a year when he wasn’t hurt and played more than 41 games
I chose 5 years
All Mackinnon does is whine and complain. 😂😂 Doesn't get his way or god forbid someone hits him he has a complete breakdown
Ah yes.. can't forget he's always trying to Marty McSorely other players and throwing helmets at heads
I guess we know how you feel about Nate Dog!
LMAO😂
Yea he’s got anger issues from all the steroids
KWAB
He doesn't take steroids. The NHL tests all players. @@tdfmtig
greatest peak hahaha damn, he's doin good but come on
Are We Witnessing The Greatest Peak In NHL History?
Answer: no.
Nice proof that the "professional" is broken. They do, when they want to do. They get paid , only when they do what they do. Then I wont be seeing anymore thrown games. Pathetic! No place in the game!
You tried
The best hockey was in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s today hockey is played like little girls
And any player today would smoke any player from the 60s and 70s
