Avalanche Journal: Nathan MacKinnon vs. Mikko Rantanen. Who will finish higher in Hart Trophy MVP voting?

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:53:00 GMT

Leave it to the NBA talking heads to bicker about end-of-year awards. The NHL might have the most boring MVP race of this century.When a consensus generational player already armed with two Hart Trophies blows his own past seasons out of the water, the ballots might as well be set to default.Connor McDavid’s numbers have ascended into Gretzkian territory: 152 points, including 64 goals. The Oilers center is undeniable. But which Colorado Avalanche star will appear on more ballots: Nathan MacKinnon or Mikko Rantanen?That’s a brain teaser with a solution nowhere near as clear as the one between Edmonton teammates McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Even Avalanche coach Jared Bednar was stumped when asked how he distinguishes between the two.“I’ve been asked this question a couple times already, and I can’t,” he said. “Because I’d have to go back down to give you the proper answer, and go, ‘OK, this game, he meant this.’ Kind of go th...

Kristof: How United States can avoid a war with China

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:53:00 GMT

In the summer of 1914, few wanted war or thought a major war was possible. My grandparents were married that spring in Lviv, Austria-Hungary, and I look at their giddy wedding photos and realize they had no clue that a cataclysm would soon erase their country, shatter their lives and eventually send a branch of the family fleeing to the New World.This year I sometimes worry that we’re again too complacent about the risks of conflict ahead. And perhaps the worst geopolitical risk over the next decade or two is a war with China. While neither side wants war, each now accepts that conflict may be looming and is preparing accordingly — driving suspicions on the other side and fueling an arms race.It’s time for both sides to take a deep breath and step back from rhetoric and symbolic jabs that rally nationalists at home but that also increase the risks of a global catastrophe. A reminder of the risks came on Monday when China responded to the warm welcome given in the United States to Ta...
