Nathan MacKinnon Is Literally Playing Panty Dropper Hockey Right Now As He Has Women Throwing Their Bras And Thongs At Him On The Ice
Michael Martin. Getty Images.Nathan MacKinnon is currently on one. He's the most "on one" that we've seen out of anybody in a long ass time. We're not even 50 games through the season yet and this sick bastard already has 82 points on the year. The next point he gets will guarantee that he's over a point-per-game this season, and the Avs still have 35 more games to go.
Since November 20th, the Dogg has only had one game where he hasn't registered a single point. That means he's had at least a point in 32 out of Colorado's last 33 games. He's had two 4-goal nights during that stretch, and has put up at least 3 points in 7 of those games. 62 points in his last 33 games. It's sickening. It's mind bottling. And 5 of those points came last night when he put up 4 goals and an assist in Colorado's 6-2 win over Washington.
Now it's obviously common practice for the ice to be littered with hats anytime a player on the home team stuffs 3 goals into the back of the net. Doesn't matter if it's the best guy on the team or a 4th liner who just happened to have a great night, anybody can get the hats to fly around out there. But it takes a unique level of "holy fuck this dude is awesome" to cause the folks in the barn to become so unhinged that they start hurling their undergarments onto the ice in celebratory fashion. To be so amazed by what you are witnessing on the ice that you simply cannot contain yourself and lose all sense of decorum and couth.
That's what the Nasty Nate does to the people. He gets them going.
That's just rockstar behavior out of the Mack Daddy.
Fortunately for the fine people of Colorado, the Avs have a pretty lengthy road trip coming up in February. They play at home tomorrow night against LA, but then they're on the road until February 18th. That should give everybody enough time to stock back up on the essentials. Go purchase a few more hates, resupply on your thongs and bras, try to find some good Presidents Day sales or something like that. Because you're going to need that ammunition once the Dogg gets back into town. He's showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Sidenote: Colorado's last game of that road trip is in Tampa. MacKinnon vs Kucherov. Mandatory viewing.
