Nathan MacKinnon is on top of the hockey world, but it was a long & hard climb to get there. In this video, we look at the one change MacKinnon made to his game to become the superstar he his today.

Keep up the good work. Mackinnon is a beast. He really took off after the first few down years.
Thanks for watching!
i think mackinnon seeking a sports physiologist and mental therapy sets a really positive precedent for current and future nhl players! the nhl as a whole, imo, neglects the needs of players because there is still this old-age view that players (or just young men in general) can just "power through" on their own. i think encouraging players to seek mental help can really boost positivity and overall, morale. if mackinnon, one of the greatest players right now in the league, can seek mental help, then other players can recognize that they too can get help without feeling ashamed or discouraged. great video!
Definitely agree, it’s amazing how the right mindset boosts him from a really good player to the 2nd best player in the league.
The mindset thing is what MacKinnon has that I think Matthews lacks. The obsession, the urgency. It rubbed off on the rest of the team, and payed off. You look at the leafs, and they're taking it easy. They know they're one of the most talented teams, so they think they can get by coasting even though they haven't won sh!t.
Leafs problem is not Matthews. The Leafs suck because they thought they could afford to sign Tavares and now they're paying the price every year because of it. They lack the depth to go deep in the playoffs. Imagine if they kept Kadri and improved their defense instead of signing Tavares.
@@hcburnertavares is a great player but I agree. One of the worst contracts in the league currently
tavares has been one of the best players in the league in the past 10 years @@seegee9
Mackinon is a huge goat, and it feels awful to hear he hadn’t had confidence in himself. He’s a good kid, team leader, funny guy, and a goat on the ice. He’s by far up there on top 3 players of NHL!
I hope he ends up in the Hall of Fame. He likely will. Top 3 all time in playoff points per game, and gets 90+ points per season since 2018. He just needs at least one solid award, Hart, Richard, Art Ross, or Conn Smythe. #GoAvsGo
He definitely will
Ему ВСЁ нужно. !
Он Лучший и это однозначно. !
Самое интересное Я заметил что смотрю Хоккей только когда Нэйтан МакКиннон на льду. !
Нет МакКиннона - смотреть не интересно. !
Mac is the GOAT!!!!
he also started training with crosby who is future HOFamer so im sure he's learned a lot from him
Exactly. He’s become more & more like Sid over the years. It’s great to have a mentor like him.
He always did
Crosby an all time great??? Oh come on. Lol
@@coryvincun5424 Under what rock u living?
He started training with Sid when he was 16 bud.
Favourite NHL player 🔥
Your editing is top tier!
The craziest thing about this is the fact that Mack is still probably the most underrated player in the league.
The way this dude transformed the Avs cannot be understated. I mean yeah, some players put up more points, but I don't think they have have an impact on a game like Mack does.
Most of Mackinnon's shots were wrist shots. Wrist shot: The puck starts on the stick momentum comes from pushing the puck and turning the wrists. Snap shot: blade starts a small distance behind the puck on the ice and momentum is created by bending the stick on the ice. Slap shot stick starts off the ice and momentum also created by bending the stick on the ice.
Fantastic insights. He seems bigger, stronger, and faster than ever.
What agreat analysis!! Excellent work.
Shot out to Cole harbour , Nova Scotia . Canada 🇨🇦 home of Nathan Mackinnon aka Nate Dog 🏒
Thanks for your analysis.
4:13 your editor having some fun 😂
As an Avs fan, I to was surprised at how poor he performed really on. I told a friend, who thought the Avs should draft Seth Jones instead, that Nate was a 40 goal scorer. If he can stay healthy for an entire season, something he hasn't had in the past few years, he'll easily get 40 and 100pts plus. His skating ability, Wicked shot and his hockey IQ just had to come together at some point. The fact he struggled and overcame is all the more inspiring.
He is the ultimate professional.
This reminds me of Mark Scheifele, he’s no Mackinnon but he’s an elite player with a losers mentality. He could score 40+ and help the team win, but when the going gets tough he folds. So frustrating to see a team and player constantly punch below their weight.
The jump in MacKinnon's and Marchand's stats is because they trained with Crosby
True .
When the Avs traded Duchene he obviously took that as the ultimate challenge.
Nate's play over the past 4 months has been unbelievable. Sure McDavid is is best player so let's get that established before people want to debate. I'll just say Nathan's play lately has been even better than what you discuss in this video. Shit look at his hattrick against Nashville in the last regular season game to win the Central. The dude is an absolute beast
The biggest reason no team with a $10M player to win the cup is as mundane as it is obvious. Or at least, it should be obvious, but apparently for most people it's not: Very few players make $10M a season, and it's been a relatively short period of time that there have been any. Currently only 10 teams have players with salaries over $10M. Right off the bat, your odds are less than 1 in 3. Most of those contracts are fairly recent as well, so going back just a few years there were much fewer teams with such players. Statistically, it is not unusual at all that no team with a $10M/yr player has won the cup. It's only a matter of time before that changes.
Like 2015 was the first time a whole flood of that type came in and then 2016 came in with not as much but still a high amount than usual. This was just 7 years ago
What Mackinnon does better than anyone I've ever seen is get to the middle of the ice with the puck
Memba duchene orielly stastny were the centers on the team at the time he was drafted
I think part of Barzal’s problem is lacking an elite linemate. I feel like he is constantly being forced to beat multiple defenders. And obviously he can’t shoot it like MacKinnon. As a devils fan it is incredibly important how Hughes keeps improving his goal scoring ability. Now i am confident he will be much closer to MacKinnon than Barzal in overall value. Also, the devils are surrounding him with talent so he can’t be followed by multiple defenders because he’ll pass it and Bratt will beat you if given too much time and space.
Love a player who invest in himself.
Just so happens mackinnons confidence grew the same year Cale Makar was drafted
What's the implication? Makar wouldn't see. NHL ice until 2019 playoffs and 2019-20 season
I could be a pro too with all what he’s doing lol
someone please share this with Charles Leclerc over at Ferrari
Seen him described a bull in a china job when attacking
Not with that cap hit, he got his one ring all he wanted he could have taken less and gave some to kadri and have 2 deadly lines instead of just one now
Team are trying to shut him down. He knows this and his goals have dropped, but his assists are above par. He is all about the teams success at $10,000,000!
$12,600,000*
I am him,
Mark my fucking words
same as Guy LaFleur
Don’t look at how many goals…look at how many points per game
Is he really the highest paid? That starts next year, any negotiations over the summer could eclipse that. ??
Who is more valuable to Colorado makar or mackinnon
MacKinnon
Mac
Makar because he can actually play defense as well as be a big time offensive play maker
@@xxbobbykjxx he’s really not that good on d this year, I’ve watched him closely he is by far the most rounded defenseman in the league but he is not the best offensive defenseman or the best defensive, it’s just that blend of consistency in both that makes him so good, and mac when healthy is 100 percent a top 3 player in the league
@@Rberr16 that's just this year though.
He still stack handles too much, if he ever stops doing that, he will be even better.

As an Avs fan, he is still underwhelming.
That team deserves saner fans than you.
@@nationalhamleague5352 He should be more than a 30 goal scorer. He is overhyped.
As an avs fan I'm really confused what you're watching or on
@@lanekobel6006 Look up a big, strong and fast player named Peter Forsberg and compare both players. In their whole career they have about twice the amount of assists than goals. Same with Crosby. If you think scoring goals makes you the greatest I have bad news for you. Those type of players make everyone around them better and to me that's worth more than a 50+ goal scorer.
@@kevindupont300 Please don't disrespect Forsberg like that.
Very interesting channel. But lose the phlegms logo please.
nah
Stamkos is way better and Mackinon is overated. My opinion
Your opinion is wrong.
You can like Stamkos more than Mackinnon but there's no way either one of them is overrated
stamkos was a statue in the standley cup finals last year when mack was ever on the ice
So he owes his success to the fans for paying for his chef etc.... oookay, I think that's not nearly enough. I thought you were definitely going to peg his success on his mom. It's always the mom, that's where he gets everything from, his genetics to mentality to size and weight, all of his success he owes to mom. Same thing goes for every player in the NHL, so it's no surprise, to get paid in the millions, you need to be a momma's boy. That's also why they all support gays now, and blacks. I wouldn't but when you sign a contract with those guys, you have to give up your backbone.
What the fuck even is this comment?
You don’t have major psychological problems or anything ….
@@joeydrummer7929 LoL, okay, what did you disagree with?
This is hilarious 😂. Bro you okay?
@@nationalhamleague5352 Haha, that's always the reaction whenever someone hears "balanced" rhetoric ))) I was raised in the stupid-ass divine feminine rhetoric too, I know what it was like: pure filthy garbage. Hope you get out of the tunnel like me and stop running like mad towards the light, that rainbow coloured gay / pot of gold light that they have you convinced you're supposed to want.
