Where is Rantanen? Who is Rantanen? Why is Rantanen? What is Rantanen?

[TheBeard]

cause he had MacKinnon.

disappointing numbers on Carolina, sub PPG numbers on Dallas while being spoon-fed, and now this performance against his old team says it all. he's not a line driver, he's just a PPG player. it is what it is

This is such a lazy response.

 

[TatteredTornNFrayed]

Don't have the link right now, but I saw a pretty good coach analysis breakdown video showing he made several key plays that lead to the turnover and overtime goal that won game 3 for Dallas on the road.

Of course, a player who was seeking 12+ million still needs a greater point output, but if Dallas still wins the series, a slow scoring start will be forgotten, unless the drought continues, which could happen.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Is it possible he’s hanging out with Carmen Sandiego?

 

[flyfysher]

Not a good sign if you're forced to resort to deflection & whataboutism this early in a thread.

Come back to the Avs forum cgf.

 

[Kranix]

he's been unlucky. 10 high danger chances in the series.

1 assist in 4 games and -4.

Of course the whole Dallas team doesn't score a lot, and their scoring leader is defenseman with 3 points in 4 games. Still, Rantanen is paid to be a leader, and he isn't to put it mildly.

He not the same without MacKinnon

Yeah this. Rantanen lead's the team in scoring chances and high danger scoring changes. In that sense he has been the most dangerous player on the team.

I don't even know if it's bad luck. Maybe this stat represents the problem: he is having a hard time doing one of the things he is really good at: finishing. So maybe it's a self esteem problem.

I am so pleased to hear about his degradation.

 

[banks]

If he didn't want to leave then he would be with the Avs still. He had a year to negotiate. He wanted the money, that's fine, but he doesn't get to take the money AND act like he didn't want to leave.

You think no one is allowed to regret a failed negotiation?

Come back to the Avs forum cgf.

Like I said last year, maybe after the Knicks get eliminated...

One of these days, I'll come back with that pack of cigarettes, I swear

Knicks fan??? Oh man, you’re a lost cause!

With the Brunson Burner leading us, it's just a matter of time!

 

[flyfysher]

I strongly suspect there was a secret part of Rants that really wanted to join the Avs players in celebrating Landeskog’s first goal back.

 

[behemolari]

Im sadly admitting it but yeah Rantanen (too) was bubble, hope he will turn it soon

 

[Cousin Eddie]

This is such a lazy response.

A Rantanen response, ya might say.

I do miss the pettiness of HFavs sometimes

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Meanwhile MacKinnon's stock continues to rise. Nate makes superstars out of mid wingers.

 

[Kimota]

that 96 million though! Holly shit. It better works. lol

 

[tarheelhockey]

He'll be fine eventually but hasn't clicked with a line as yet

We’ve been hearing this for months.

 

[Turbonium]

When it results in $96 million dollars I fail to have much sympathy for them, yes.

I have no sympathy for him either.

I don't need to be sympathetic to understand what's going on. He's struggling because he's playing against the team he'd rather be playing for.
