  1. Love that natedogg has been featured now. Can you do the rise of alex ovechkin or steven stamkos or brad marchand or ryan kesler or the sedins in the near future?

  2. My favourite Nate moment is his overtime winner against Sweden at the World Cup (assisted by Johnny Hockey RIP)

  3. Pretty accurate throughout, except Nate started working with Andy O'Brien when he was 15 or so, not the same time he started seeing a sports psychologist. He was always physically well prepared every season.

  4. He is the reason I became a hockey fan, I still will always remember that filthy goal he made against the blues in the second round in 2022, one of the greatest goal I have seen by Nate the great

  5. I love Nate's appearance on Trailer Park Boys, and his early stories of meeting Sid as a teenager and training with him in offseasons. Particularly the story about Sid grabbing his ankle and tripping him so he could win a foot race up a sand hill lol

  6. Yet they gave fuckin Makar the Conn Smythe. Get outta here. MacKinnon by far deserved it that year.. And then Makar somehow gets the ‘24 cover athete after that. Yet Mack wins the MVP. Makar is so media over-hyped. He’s a defender than literally cannot even play defense. He’s just another forward out there but just playing on a line with Toews.. Mack was the clear as day Smythe winner, and Mack shoulda been on that cover. Not Cale Makar. I’m so tired of him. Mack’s been robbed a few times for quite a few different things. And by his own clearly inferior teammate makes it even worse.

  7. Avs were up 3-1 in the 2022 Stanley Cup Finals lost Game 5 in Colorado and won Game 6 in Tampa to win the Stanley Cup. It was never a split series in the first 4 games.
