The narrative that McDavid is lightyears better than MacKinnon on the rush is simply false. That is McDavid's go-to maneuver so we see it all the time. MacK can just as easily burn people on the rush, but he's also got tons of other tools he uses to create offense.
MacKinnon's playoff numbers are insane compared to McDavid's. That should tell you enough about the two players. And it's not like MacK has pedestrian numbers in the regular season either: he's 1.3ppg compared to McDavid's 1.5 over the last four seasons.
