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

[LowSodium]

What an insane playoffs he’s having so far

 

[Klargplutte]

Once you start doing hattricks you might aswell continue i guess

 

[Captain97]

If Toronton vs Edmonton doesn't happen, Carolina vs Dallas would be hilarious. Imagine if Rantanen played a big role in eliminating both teams that traded him and then won a Cup.

I'm rooting for this

 

[FinPanda]

He has produced way more than I expected

Or hear me out: Stankoven and Hall, the forgotten pieces, take over and win the Cup

While he doesn't possess upper echelon talent, he throws the puck at the net when it matters. His play should be a PSA to every young Canadian and American player.

Hell even Euros with size, toughen up and throw the puck at the net, no need to play on the perimeter as y'all do.

damn maybe every player should just throw the puck at the net and then they could put up his numbers but instead they’re too busy trying to make plays

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Always a treat to watch a player who is just firing on all cylinders.

 

[POVERTY]

I’m starting to think that Colorado is going to regret this trade.

Why? They got their "depth" or whatever lol

 

[JimmyH]

Rantanen is at the top

Rantanen is HIM

Because Rantanen gonna Rantanen

Rantanen is a superstar

He's the entire Stars offense as of late. I can't recall the last time someone had back-to-back hatties in the playoffs.

I hate rooting for Dallas but I’m all about Mikko getting his flowers and shoving it down people’s throats, even if it is killing me a little inside. I hope Dallas loses in 7 but Mikko scores 3-5 goals every game and has such absurd stats they give him the Smythe anyways. Can we make that happen?

 

[Tebowz]

I still can’t believe Colorado gave up on him

Stankoven and Hall have 7 points combined. Mikko has 15

Well Rantanen has scored or assisted last 12 of Stars' goals.

Yeah Rantanen is carrying the whole damn Stars team. Wish we could have traded pettersson to colorado last year for Rantanen.

yep. Greasy goal season

Jealous of your team getting Rantanen. Cant believe Canes couldnt sign him

Fantastic player, but he's also having one of the all-time great stretches of puck luck at the moment.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

I think I saw him playing tonight against Winnipeg.
Basically invisible out there though.

Stank’s gonna be a hell of a player for the Canes. Already looks better than Necas in the postseason.

According to the broadcast, he's only the third player to ever do it.

I wonder who the other two were. Google wasn't helpful, but I didn't look past the first page of results.

Stank is good but Rantanen is a tier above. I think the real loser here is the Avs getting Necas since I think Stankoven is better than Necas.

Jari Kurri did it in 1985 vs the Blackhawks.
