Like his friend Sidney Crosby and his opponent Steve Stamkos, a Stanley Cup has been projected for MacKinnon from the moment the Avalanche chose him first in ...

You dream of winning the Stanley Cup, but sitting here and being in a moment like this, it’s pretty amazing. “You can just see the emotion in everyone’s face,” he said. “After the first one, we went out to try to win back-to-back. “We’ve embraced the challenge,” Stamkos said. He was asked what it felt like to raise the Cup. “There’s no denying we want to win the Stanley Cup again. “It’s awesome,” MacKinnon said. “We’re playing the best. “I’m glad we’re playing Tampa,” MacKinnon said. “Right from when he broke into the league, he was a guy that could get you to jump out of your seat,” Colorado GM Joe Sakic said “He’s got such explosive speed, such a powerful guy. But there was still excitement at going for a rare three-peat and a chance to be considered a dynasty. “I’m just trying not to let my mind wander too much.”

Paul Klee: How Nathan MacKinnon can surpass Joe Sakic as ... (Colorado Springs Gazette)

The title of undisputed greatest hockey player in Avs history belongs to Sakic. No doubt, period, put your beer down. But is it a conspiracy theory to say ...

Sakic bet the franchise on MacKinnon with the No. 1 pick in 2013, and soon enough he will bet on MacKinnon again. Sakic had a point in 13 of 14 games to start his crazy run in ’96. This postseason MacKinnon has a point in 13 of 14 games to start his in 2022. But it’s not out of the question. In Game 1 against the Blues, he scored only 5:25 into the game. MacKinnon at the moment is the best bargain or most underpaid athlete in sports, whichever way you want to look at it. MacKinnon won’t reach Sakic’s mark of 34 points because the Avs have been too overwhelming and needed only 14 games (12-2) to reach the final. He trails Peter Forsberg (153) and Sakic (177), and both marks are on the table. But after two decades away the Avs are back in the Stanley Cup final, and two of the central figures opening a series against the Tampa Bay Lightning Game 1 Wednesday are Joe, the general manager and Avalanche legend, and Nate, who’s working on his own. He has recharged memories of Sakic even in defeat, a hat trick against the Blues, and set up a winning playoff run with three points in Game 1 of Round 1. Not out of the question. Not at all, not with the mounting evidence. Both Sakic, who played in 172 playoff games for the Avs and Nordiques, and MacKinnon, 64 playoff games to this point, were and are playoff monsters.
