Nathan MacKinnon is reflecting on a challenging summer after the Colorado Avalanche's playoff exit, while also gearing up for the upcoming NHL season and the chance to represent Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.
He is excited to play alongside fellow Nova Scotian Sidney Crosby, as well as other stars like Connor McDavid and Cale Makar. The tournament, set for February, promises to showcase top talent, although it won't feature all the best players due to geopolitical issues.
Goaltending remains a concern for Canada, with emerging talents like Jordan Binnington stepping into the spotlight as the team prepares for the international stage.
