Evening Line- Larry Brooks
Cale Makar won the Heisman, he won the Tony, he won the Golden Globe, he won the People’s Choice, he won the internet, he won the Norris Trophy and, oh by the way, he won the game on Tuesday night in Chicago, you know he did, when he pulled a car-chase-slam-on-the-breaks-and-go-into-reverse-at-100-mph move while leaving Kirby Dach as a chalk outline on the ice on his way to beating Marc-Andre Fleury in overtime.
These kids — Makar, the 23-year-old Avalanche star, is eight months younger than reigning Norris winner Adam Fox — not only keep executing plays that dazzle the imagination, the larger point is that they continue to imagine them. They continue to expand the boundaries. They are no longer the future of hockey. They are the present. They are the gifts that will keep on giving for generations.
