You have to get to games that matter. You have to claw your way to a spot where you can be in a position to ask your best player to go out and score a big goal. I'd have just as much confidence in Mackinnon to do that as McDavid, if not moreso. One has shown an ability to do it when it matters.
I will say, if McDavid ever DOES figure out how to play the rest of the game, he'd be very scary. I also don't think it's his fault he has to play 30 min a game.
