As I recall, MacKinnon ended up flat on his back on the ice after being unable to get a stick or pad on the puck coming across to a waiting Duchene.For all the peeps blaming Girard for being the reason for the OT goal last night, remember that EJ was the reason why we lost to Wild back in 2014 due to Niederreiter's GWG. Yet, he nearly got zero blame because everyone "loves him."
Without Nuke, we could've beat Dallas and I still believe that, but there was no chance we were going to beat the Panthers or the Rags out of the East or even make it out of the WCF.
MacK was maybe 50% effective defensively last night and in some games the number would be trending to zero.......
He needs to take a queue from Joe Sakic and learn to play defense. (Joe was quoted way back that it was something he didn't like doing and it was really hard work.)
