    Makar measures up to all-time greats

    DENVER —There's no question Cale Makar is breathing some rarefied hockey air while playing here in the Mile High City. Might the Colorado Avalanche defenceman ultimately be among the best to ever lace up the skates and hit the ice at his position? “I mean, comparing players from different eras is always tough,” Jared Bednar began. Everyone's going to have their own opinion on it but certainly I think Cale's deserving of some of that credit he gets.

    Cale Makar's ongoing evolution has required time, freedom to help unlock his superpowers

    Cale Makar collected the puck along the left wall, faked like he was going to the middle of the ice and instead cut toward the net with a violent juke that sent a defender to the ice. Makar's burst of speed was so furious, the other defenders nearby missed their angle and could not stop him en route to a goal. Brooks Bandits coach Ryan Papaioannou described it as his favorite goal from one of the best players he's ever coached — the kind of highlight-reel play that lives up to expectations on YouTube. Papaioannou loved it because there was a player on the other team who had played for Brooks and was telling his new teammates where and how to stop the Bandits on faceoff plays.
