I am Korean (not North Korea) In Korea, ice hockey is not as popular and popular as basketball, soccer, and baseball But I am fascinated by the joy of ice hockey, so I only watch ice hockey, It is so much fun and happy to watch Hockey of the Avalanche. I wish you the victory of the Avalanche MackiNnon is the MVP I'm not good at English. Have a nice day, everyone

I'm sorry it's inappropriate. He has integrity.

[@madgcat4925]

With all due respect to Alexander, McKinnon is better. Not in terms of achievement or skill, but in terms of versatility. He is still a center, he has a different style of play. При всем уважении к Александру, МакКинон лучше. Не в смысле достижений, или мастерства, а в плане универсальности. Он все-таки центр, у него другой стиль игры.

[@Zenkka]

Both generational talents with different play styles. I’m gonna miss those prime Ovi years when he eventually hangs em up. So much adversity during his career too I really hope they make a documentary about him (and Sid of course). MacKinnon is writing his own story and dominating the league with similar but different brilliance.

[@apointtomake1517]

Simply put, no. He is not the new Ovechkin. He is playing great hockey right now, and I don't know why people like you need to make outlandish comparisons.

[@matambale]

Again I'd like to thank the very fine *Halifax Mooseheads* for the awesome Nate/Jon duo.

[@biffdanielson2820]

I think Nichushkin is the best fit at 1LW. With that being said, Avs have too many options for that position.

So happy to see Drouin doing Drouin things again. The chemistry between him and McKinnon is lethal!

[@Samkhatha]

I can see Sid in Avalanche uniforms next year.

[@biffdanielson2820]

How is that going to happen with the salary cap? It'd also make more sense to sign mittlestadt.

[@johnny__topside]

As a non Penguins fan, It’s a little sad to watch the Pens completely disintegrate as a franchise over the last couple of seasons. Maybe it’ll be funny to laugh at them soon enough, but I just feel bad for Crosby

[@Tomatohater64]

They lost this game because their older players just couldn't hang. Blew a 4-goal lead. Unacceptable. Rebuild anyone?

would love to see Sid come to CO and finish his career with his friend MacKinnon. Win another cup or 2 , that would be awesome....

[@Teedeedatd]

[@whatthehellisgoingon5789]

Crosby to the Avs

[@KevinJL]

He won't do it. Got to always be the good square guy unfortunately.

[@fluntimes]

Was there any doubt MacK would keep the streak going? Like a true MVP boss, involved in all the 3rd period comeback points and the game winner.

[@NifeOO4niff]

I'm just calling them the Pittsburgh Crosby's at this point. The guy just wants this season to be over at this point, but he still puts on a clinic. Overall, it was a great first half for the Pens, but a gutsy comback for the Aves.

[@iLikeDMR]

What a game! First 4 unanswered goals by Penguins and then 5 unanswered goals by the Avalanche. That was insane

[@marcod2680]

Oh wow , I checked the score at 4-2 and I knew the avs would come back especially that McKinnon had no points yet . And when it turned 4-4 and going to overtime , I knew it would short and sweet in OT .. it must have been the 40th time this season that the pens blow a lead and this one was a 4-0 ... discouraging

I hate to say this, as it seems almost sacrilegious, but...Crosby should request a trade from the penguins. Think about it, the pens are in need of a rebuild badly. There isn't going to be another cup for Pittsburgh in the Crosby era. The best thing he could do for them is request a trade he's having a fantastic year and teams would give a bundle to have him. Trading him would rejuvenate a team badly in need of a rejuvenation. Trading some of the old guard, Crosby Letang karlsson malkin would bring in a King's Ransom.
