Nathan Mackinnon Drops Quinn Hughes From Behind

Nathan Mackinnon finds himself on the wrong end of yet another controversial play, as he deliberately cross-checks Vancouver defenseman Quinn Hughes in the numbers.

Mackinnon has shown over the last couple of years that he has a temper and he's not afraid to use it. Whether it's throwing Conor Garland's helmet at him after a scuffle or smacking referees with his stick, he's discovered an edge in his game. For some, this is an unacceptable display of aggression that needs to be checked. Others believe it's just the type of tenacity required to win in this league.
