Nate Is A Bully And He Needs To Start Picking On People His Own Size
Nathan MacKinnon is an absolute hoss. This dude's legs could move mountains. I don't think he's had a sip of soda since 1999. He's got blazing speed, superior strength, and he also happens to be one of the best 3-5 hockey players on planet Earth.
Jeff Skinner is good at hockey, but he's just a sweet little boy. The guy has a song from High School Musical as his goal song. Don't get me wrong, I love High School Musical. But I also know that I'd get my shit rocked by the Nate Dogg out there. Now the documented height and weight will lead you to believe that Jeff Skinner and Nathan MacKinnon are in the same class as each other, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Nathan MacKinnon is Chevy Tahoe, Jeff Skinner is a Chevrolet Bolt EUV. Both are perfectly fine vehicles, but you'd be foolish to put them in the same weight class as each other.
So when Skinner finds himself on the tracks with the puck on his stick while the MacKinnon Express is pulling into the station? This is the result.
And let's not act like Mikko Rantanen isn't equally as guilty of bullying the Sabres last night when he sent Luukkonen all the way to the corner before burying the first goal of the game.
Tough night for the Sabres out there, but cool night for Erik Johnson. Maybe one of the more forgotten about 1st overall picks over the past 20 years, but great to see he'll always be loved in Colorado.
