Keeler: Nathan MacKinnon says Game 7 loss to Dallas ‘like getting over a breakup.’ Now Avalanche star is healed, out for revenge

The ghost in the stall meant one thing: Nathan MacKinnon isn’t done haunting the NHL yet.

As the Avalanche locker room opened for media a few Fridays ago during training camp, the big names crisscrossed, de-taped and unwound. Captain Gabe Landeskog held court at one end. Newbie Brent Burns grinned toothlessly at the other.

“Every day, you see (MacKinnon) do 10-12 things that are like, ‘Holy (expletive),'” Burns, a veteran defenseman who came over from Carolina, cackled. “And usually I’m at the wrong end of it. So it’s not good.”

Practice had just ended.
