Comment on Avalanche Journal: Nathan MacKinnon has been unlucky during his MVP encore

The Colorado Avalanche’s offensive attack can look like a symphony of puck and player movement when it’s really clicking. Colorado’s star-studded top line and defense pairing zipped the puck around early in the second period during a 4-0 dismantling of the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center. Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar played catch as they moved around the offensive zone. Eventually, Makar took the puck into the right circle and sent it back to MacKinnon in the left circle, for what looked like a sure goal after the two dynamos had deftly manipulated the space and the defenders trying to chase them. MacKinnon wound up and rifled a one-timer toward the target.

Kris Bryant’s sanctuary is the batting cage attached to his parents’ home in Las Vegas. The cage, 65 feet long and 18 feet wide, is the centerpiece of a 1,600-square-foot workout facility.

Bryant used his $6.7 million signing bonus to give his father a piece of baseball heaven, including a $3,300 pitching machine.
