Is Nathan MacKinnon better than Connor McDavid?
About this episode
The Colorado Avalanche are a league best 19-1-6 to start the season. Sean, Sean and Frank discuss the powerhouse team led by MVP favorite Nathan MacKinnon, and if he is better than Connor McDavid right now. The guys talk about the once-great Winnipeg Jets, mired in a bad slump and having players-only meetings, the breakout season for Jesper Wallstedt and the Minnesota Wild and how the Olympic ice might be three or four feet shorter than a typical NHL surface.
