Play-by-play announcer Sean McDonough started describing one of the best players in the league in Nathan MacKinnon. He tried to joke about MacKinnon's skill with maybe a sarcastic comment, but it totally fell flat.
Big swing and a miss there big McDonough. There is a time and a place to joke about that, but when MacKinnon just had the puck knocked off his stick and you say he doesn't "have much talent", some people may take that the wrong way. ESPN has a long way to go with their coverage. Good thing they have 6 more years to work on it.
