Sure - but it's not like the ONE player ahead of him is a plug, right?

That player would put Mackinnon 2nd on his team as well.

Listen they are habs fefans, they have been so used to drinking the flavour of the month cool-aid, if some guy on TSN tells them MacKinnon is the best player in the world because he scored that important 4th goal in a 4-1 last night they will drink it up.

I see you don't stay up late to watch the Avs play.
- AdamFrench

Nor does Fred.

I just don't think the best player in the world should be putting up Jo Drouin numbers unless he has Rantanen
- Fredo

Let's put numbers aside, have you watched his play the last few years? Have you watched his play during these playoffs?

I'm not personally putting him above McDavid but to think he isn't in the conversation, or that he hasn't proven anything outside of his wingers is an argument that doesn't line up with the eye test, at all. He's a modern power centre like no other I can think of

Dude I have a 18 months kid who wakes up at 5:30, I go to bed at 8.

It really helps Fredo's point that Rantanen stirs the drink when MacKinnon scored 48 more points than the next highest scoring winger on his team because Rantanen missed 60% of the season.

I only read that part, agreed.

This comment in no way makes you sound like a complete d bag. Other things you say do, but not this

Wow! must be great a feeling.

Can't wait to have grand kids, you can just come for the good times, spoil them and leave them to their parents for the sleepless nights and tantrums.

And you can tell them all about how Mackinnon wasn't that great when he gets into the hall of fame.

(I know, that timeline implies your kids will have kids of their own at like 16 years old and I don't actually wish that upon them but for the sake of the joke, play along).

i mean, canada, good morning!

good morning 'Murica!

They live half way across the US, so, lots of facetime. Best thing ever to be honest, next to my 2 kids.

He's like the Ken Dryden of his era. Will make it to the HHOF because of his years with great wingers.

Did you just call Ken Dryden overrated?

Eat a snickers or something Fred.

Maybe watch him play, instead of checking his stats. He was nominated for the Hart each of the last 2 years, and was robbed by Hall.

I can't comment on this obviously I never saw him play and neither did you. It's just what alot of BOOMERS say, he wasn't that good he was just a good goalie on a great team.

Oh right now in his prime he's in top 5 mix for sure. He's just not the best, final. Taylor Hall won the hart because he carried an entire team on his back for a complete season. Something MacKinnon doesn't have to do anymore and could'nt do before.

Let's ask Bixll what he thinks, he's like 1000 years old. He'll know.

so Dryden would be a reverse-Carey Price, who is the greatest goalie in the world but on a poop team...

good morning 'Murica!
