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

Hockey is king.

MacKinnon is the new Ovechkin. That one timer slot has the feel of Ovi’s shot. Best come back team this year.

[@user-bm9ck9qk6q]

Мечтать не вредно.

[@andw1977]

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.

[@charlielarock1561]

What a way to hold a 9 game win streak

[@chrisormie]

9 Game win streak for the team, 18 game point streak and 34 home point streak for Nate. Amazing stuff.

[@trvman1]

Nate versus Sid :)

[@QueensNewYorkguy]

And you wannabe New Jersey Devils copycats who for whatever reason are allowed to wear our Rockies jerseys despite coming from Quebec are going to suffer the same fate as Bruins fans last year, this year in the 1st round 😂

[@davidromero4359]

​@@QueensNewYorkguyNew Jersey Devils copycats? The Avs have been playing this style of hockey for years. They play fast, always have. And we are nothing like the Bruins. We won a Cup two years ago 🤦

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

you can tell Mckinnon has the heart and grit of a winner. he was willing them to win. it wasnt going any other way

[@mikescorpio13]

those who said Edmonton vs Colorado was the best game of the year hopefully have watch this glorious comeback.What a 3rd period,Drouin was flying around distributing the puck happy to see him on MacKinnon line again.

[@Hudoba4]

Oilers game was still better.. imo

[@Cipher301]

[@kingoftrolls19]

Oilers avs game was by far the most entertaining game. I hope they play in playoffs again.

[@natthaphonnoble2407]

I dont get the Oilers game people, That was not a good game. It was an intense game but far from good Avs hockey. This game was brutal until the third, sure was fun to watch such a huge comeback.

[@Nathanielhiggerson66]

@@natthaphonnoble2407The Oilers game was fun because we saw Georgiev play well, the High danger scoring chances etc were in avs favor but still way too open

[@subienorris]

Crazy how well Drouin is doing this season. That's the Nate Mackinnon effect

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

WHAT A COMEBACK BOYS!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!!

[@cacti1011]

Drouin has been such an amazing pick up for the Avs! Him and MacKinnon I think are great to have on the same line!

[@biffdanielson2820]

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

[@Emma_2Banks]

Comeback kings. The most threatening part of the Avs is the fact you can’t count them out ever. How about I make a new name for the best player, MackJesus because that guys actually making an impact and history. Go Avs!

[@natthaphonnoble2407]

When Mack gets mad he's DANGEROUS lol, i saw him start boiling more and more from the no calls. When he danced in just seconds left in the 2nd i knew he wasn't done lol, he looked pissed and slammed hi stick on the glass lol. That look is infamous, you know he's a comin and sure enough did he and the boys ever in the third and OT.

[@bobdobalini]

McKinnon is a beast

[@day1avsfan907]

What an insane comeback

[@alexguralnik8372]

Sid, your audition went very well. We would be thrilled to have you in Denver next season :-)

[@cjtrujillo4817]

Altitude had nothing to do with them blowing a 4 point lead they lead the league with blown leads 😂

[@user-us7mm3vt3d]

Crosby. MacKinnon. It's the Cole Harbour Show.

[@whatthehellisgoingon5789]

Crosby to the Avs

[@KevinJL]

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

[@gabelstapler19]

What a game for Drouin! I'm glad we're getting some additional depth scoring. Just tighten it up in the first half...

[@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.

[@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]

He has 3 cups, dont feel bad lol

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

​@@Tomatohater64 didn't Crosby have 4 points today?!?

[@KevinJL]

Sad or cringe

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@Silentpaws]

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

[@mrjupiter80]

How about some credit to Sean Walker. Dude has both scored and been the catalyst for some huge goals since coming here. Beauty!

[@stefantatic4836]

Nate's acceleration at the end of 2nd period 😮 he's gonna leave McDavid in dust in the playoffs
