It’s the way that Mack wants to win, so desperately, because he never has. In his short but impressive career so far, if there was a team trophy or gold medal to be won, Mack has never won it.

The Chicago Steel lost in the first round of the USHL Clark Cup Playoffs during the 2022-23 season. While playing for Boston University for the 2023-24 season, Mack had a chance to win three team titles. BU lost to Northeastern in the 2024 Beanpot Final, then they lost to Boston College in the 2024 Hockey East Conference Championship, and finally, BU lost to Denver in the 2024 NCAA D1 Frozen Four semifinals.

Representing Canada in five international tournaments, Mack has won a medal twice: Bronze at the 2023 IIHF U18 World Championship and Silver at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympic Games.

He’s the only North American first overall pick in the NHL in the last decade without a gold medal representing his country. Six of the last ten first overall picks have won gold: four Canadians and two Americans. Mack is the only Canadian of the bunch without a gold medal to his name. The other three without a gold medal are from Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland respectively.

Including USHL, NCAA, and representing Canada internationally, Mack has played in nine tournaments for either a team championship trophy or a gold medal. Despite his best efforts, he has not won any of them.

in honour of matthew tkachuck (unsurprisingly) showing his ass in his post game interview by saying “i never want to be back in this tournament, i want to be in the playoffs.”, i would like to say something to him and the people that are riding his dick defending him with “every player in this tournament would agree with him, everyone would rather be in the playoffs than at worlds”:

1) the nhl is not the only hockey league on this planet, dipshit. every league that i personally know of in europe has crowned its winner and wrapped up its season. a lot of players aren’t there because they couldn’t hack it in their playoffs but because it is a chance to compete at an international level, representing their country. which brings me to

2) many players, nhl players included, do actually feel pride in representing their home countries in a tournament like this. is every nhler’s goal to make the stanley cup playoffs? sure. but that doesn’t mean they are going to be dicks about an entire other tournament that they are competing in in the meantime if they don’t.

tkachuck is a rude, classless asshole, not that i expected anything else from him, and i’d be more than happy to never see him at worlds again. he didn’t need to come in the first place, his wife (? girlfriend? idk their relationship status) just had a CHILD. one of austria’s best players chose to sit the tournament out for exactly that reason, because he wanted to be there for his wife and child.

what he said could have been phrased several other ways that would have been way less disrespectful, but he chose to be an ass about it.

FUCK matthew tkachuck.

i love how when mack is acting a little bratty or provoked on the ice from being constantly targeted, toff and wenny probably put a gentle hand on his shoulder and are like, “now, macklin, i know you’re justified in being upset but lashing out isn’t the right thing to do, gotta keep your cool”

meanwhile sid is just like, “actually my macklin is never in the wrong and he should be allowed to kill anyone who annoys him, it’s their own fault for upsetting him in the first place :)”
