KIDS: Not every player can be Nathan MacKinnon on their team. But you can be Parker Kelly. Check out this 6on5 sequence where Kelly blocks five shots. That’s not a typo. Five shots in one shift. Parker Kelly is not going to play on the Avs' first line. But you better believe he's earned the trust from his coaches and his teammates to play a role somewhere on the team. Turn the volume up and listen to the Avs' bench after he blocks a few of his shots. Amazing. If you can't lead your team in goals or points, you can lead your team in gritty plays and heart. It's a way to get in the lineup, stay in the lineup, and play a big role for your team winning a championship.
