I once saw Nathan Mackinnon defy the laws of physics by going full bore toward the end boards, then, without slowing down, MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN in front of the blue paint and nailing the puck home. My jaw is still on the floor.
MacKinnon and McDavid are the 2 NHL players who play the game at a noticeably different speed than anyone else. I could be sitting at a sports bar and pick him out on a small TV across the room playing with no sound, because he just *looks* different on the ice. It's incredible to watch.
As fast as he is straight line, he might be the quickest -shiftiest is the best word I can think of, mixed with a very strong solid build that lets him bull doze thru arms and sticks and even bodies put in his path!!!

He and McDavid are men among boys out there.
