The time for the Finnish Five is nigh

[jalapenoWithAnH]

As Miro Heiskanen famously said:

"Look to my coming at first light on the third game day of the second round. At dawn, look to the East"

We are getting closer to G3 in Dallas. I suspect this is when we see Miro for the first time in the lineup. It's also highly likely that when it happens we will see for the first time in NHL's history a line that is combined solely of Finnish players:

Granlund - Hintz - Rantanen
Heiskanen - Lindell

There's no way this won't happen with the way the Finnish line has been playing so far, right?

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Kari Lehtonen would be proud

 

[thomast]

I think Granlund will explode offensively soon in that line. I know he has only 2 points in 8 games, but he can create something out of nothing.

 

[NyQuil]

Finnally.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Dallas has had 5 Finnish players in a game in 2021, although they weren't all on a line together (Miro, Esa, Roope, Kiviranta and Vatanen)

Also 6 players in a game back in 2005-06.

Everytime I see someone say "nigh", my mind just flashes back to when Erik Karlsson went in to answer the media, someone said, "Erik, the time is nighhh", and Karlsson just walked right the f*** out.

 

[elmaco]

Any word on Heiskanen?

 

[illone84]

Just call up Arttu Hyry from the Texas Stars and let's make it 6 already!

Another reason to dislike Karlsson.

Didn't we just have this thread?

He is so versatile that he also has the ability to create nothing out of something…

Stars really need Miro back; they are getting killed without him tonight.

Hm. If history has taught us anything regarding having many Finnish players on your team, is that it, sadly, ends up in tears instead of cheers. Maybe Dallas can change that narrative this year!

Yeah like Florida last year. Lol

 

[KAWAIlllI]

Yeah like Florida last year. Lol

Meh. Captain, sure. Then a bunch of 3/4th liners and 3rd pair D. In Dallas, most of em are expected to lead. Good thing they have Rantanen this time around!

Is there video if this? Please say yes

 

[Darren McCarty]

Dallas has always liked Finnish players.

[sr edler]

5 players are a unit not a line.

Btw, I was told by countless Stars fans not long ago that Lindell was absolutely useless and without Heiskanen they couldn't go anywhere.
