Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon channels anger to get best of Canucks - Sportsnet.ca

MacKinnon nearly lost his mind late in the third period after teammate Matt Calvert nearly lost his head, which was struck by Elias Pettersson’s shot as the Canucks attacked six-on-five while trailing 4-2.

MacKinnon channelled his anger and exerted his will in overtime. Aided by a slight pick on defenceman Chris Tanev, MacKinnon blew past Canuck forward J.T. Miller before sniping a wrist shot past Demko’s stick side for the Avalanche star’s second goal and third point of the night. “I don’t think it’s right,” MacKinnon said. “Even Pettersson was looking at Calvy and you could tell he was wondering if he was OK, which was very classy by him. It’s not the Canucks’ fault. It’s not the refs’ fault. It’s just a league rule. The refs, they wanted to blow it. It’s just silly they can’t.

Canucks captain Bo Horvat said: “It’s tough to even comment on. You never want to see a guy hurt. You never want to see a guy lying there on the ice. So it’s a tough call for the refs. You still want to score; it’s a crucial time in the game. If it gets blown down, we don’t score that goal.”“We’re talking about head injuries and. . . that’s the second time now in two weeks for us that a guy takes puck in the face and is bleeding all over the ice and we’re letting it go,” Bednar said.
