Kiszla: From the kitchen sink to Skittles, nothing thrown at Cale Makar can stop him from leading Avalanche sweep of Nashville

NASHVILLE – The NHL needs to commission an investigation to determine if Cale Makar is human.

My theory? He’s a hockey god, imbued with greatness directly by the hand of Bobby Orr, put on this earth to toy with muggles like the Nashville Predators.

“He might be the best player in the league right now. The way he dominates from the back end is amazing,” teammate Nathan MacKinnon said Monday, after Makar led the Avs to a 5-3 victory over Nashville and a four-game sweep in their opening-round playoff series. “This playoffs, he’s taken another step.”

In four games against the poor, pathetic pussycats from Nashvegas, Makar produced 10 points.
