Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon is tremendous on the ice, and a bit quiet off of it. He does not like to give himself too much credit, but on Thursday, the Avs center put himself in a vulnerable state as far as expressing his feelings leading up to the first game, which was against Martin Necas and Czechia.

MacKinnon said that he and the team were nervous and that he could not sleep the night before due to the magnitude of the Olympic stage he would be playing on.
