Nathan Mckinnon in the MVP conversation

 by R Alexander



Colorado Avalanche fans, once again witnessing Nathan MacKinnon's dazzling performance, erupted into familiar "MVP!" chants. Despite leading the league in scoring after his second four-goal game this season, MacKinnon remains grounded, acknowledging the cheers but keeping expectations in check.

In the aftermath of the Avalanche's impressive 6-2 victory over the Washington Capitals, MacKinnon, sporting a jubilant mood, reflected on the fan chants. He humorously dismissed the MVP hype, emphasizing his prior encounters with such acclaim and his reluctance to build up hopes.

The post-game interviews also featured insights from Avalanche Head Coach Jared Bednar, praising MacKinnon's unwavering dedication off the ice. Bednar highlighted the player's consistent commitment to refining his training habits, evolving from great to elite and even super elite levels. MacKinnon's relentless pursuit of improvement, according to Bednar, ensures he rarely experiences off-nights in terms of energy and performance.

When asked if there's anything MacKinnon could do to surprise him at this stage, Bednar expressed unwavering confidence, stating that MacKinnon's current level of excellence is precisely where he expected him to be. The coach also discussed how MacKinnon's unique training routine impacts the team's travel schedule, acknowledging the unconventional late arrivals due to the player's post-game rituals.

Bednar highlighted the team's adaptation to MacKinnon's regimen, noting that the player's influence has spurred others to follow suit. Despite the delayed travel schedule, the coach expressed support for MacKinnon's leadership and the positive impact on the team's overall performance.
