Nathan MacKinnon has gone from 'Why me?' to 'Why not us?'
— Nathan MacKinnon has gone from “Why me?” to “Why not us?” After losing in the second round of the playoffs for the third consecutive year last season, the star-crossed superstar groused that he was eight years into his NHL career and he hadn’t won squat.
That’s a lesson MacKinnon took to heart from the start of training camp and helped him lead the Avalanche to their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 2001. “It’s a special group in there and you don’t get to the final by having selfish guys or guys going in different directions,” MacKinnon said.EDMONTON, ALBERTA – JUNE 06: Colorado Avalanche left wing Artturi Lehkonen and Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon celebrate with Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar after Makar scored a goal against the Edmonton Oilers in the first period during game four of the NHL Stanley Cup Western Conference Final at Rogers Place June 06, 2022.
“Well, he wants to win. Since I got here, I’ve realized that that’s all he wants to do,” Manson said. “He wants to drive the rest of the team to win. He expects a lot of himself and he expects a lot out of his teammates. So he’s a good leader in that way. He pushes you to be better and he pushes you to drive yourself to win every game.”
