But that very similar to the MJ comparisons; he hated to lose and was a giant dick, but walked the talk and brought you championships. Mackinnon is a perennial hart candidate so as a fan I would have no issue with a player on my team being like that as long as he backed it up on the ice.
Funny stuff about Keith too. I want to see this sauna-in-a-suitcase you can build in your hotel room  . |
He does sound like a bit of a dick on the ice. But unless you have a guy or guys like that on your team it’s pretty tough to win championships.
Someone has to hold people accountable towards being the best.
