Kiz: We are smart sports fans in Colorado, yes we are. And Denver is a great hockey town, yes it is. So, of course, we know: Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon is the best hockey player on the planet. This is the year he definitely wins the Hart Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player of the NHL, eh? On a team beset by injuries, MacKinnon has kept the Avs near the top of the Western Conference standings. Please don’t try to tell Colorado fans somebody might beat out MacK for the Hart.
Chambers: There’s this guy in Edmonton, Connor McDavid, who many consider the best of the best, and that obviously includes MacKinnon.
