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

Jari Kurri did it in 1985 vs the Blackhawks.

ChatGPT says Doug Bentley in 44 and Kurri in 85.

Thanks! Kind of figured at least one would be not one of the guys you would think of from recent years, but instead someone from a long time ago.

Wait, 1944 was 81 years ago? f***

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.

Fun part - Necas is UFA 2026 and will be getting 8,5-10M/yr. So, the savings wasnt really there.

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

Jesus.

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.

I couldn't find it either.

I couldn't find it either.

Check out some previous posts. Jarri Kurri in 1985 and Doug Bentley in 1944.

Same brother, one of my absolute favorites on Super Nintendo. Took me forever to figure out both the miniboss and then the boss in New Junk City lol, then I could never even pass the water tube level. Picked up the game again and sequel in college and beat both of them, they aged well

Where is Rantanen?
- the Avalanche and Jets defenses probably

I betting Rantanen got better ribeye steaks in Texas. That is the secret.

Broke a Mario record

 

[Summer Rose]

Broke a Lemieux record

Wouldn't that mean he set the new record with #10? Then 11 and 12 only added to the record that he already held? Am I failing at reading comprehension?

He did but I didn't see anyone post about it until now

He must be on one of the all-time great stretches in playoff history.

Back to back hat tricks, 8 goals and 14 points in his past four games.

Absolutely incredible.

 

[jonlin]

Last 4 games:

8g 6a 14p +5

Pretty decent lately.

 

[Hollowmoon]

WTF is Rantanen?

 

[Calderon]

Four consecutive playoff games with 3+ points has to be closing in on a record, too.

 

[red devil]

When he scored his back to back hattrick, he averaged a goal at better than a goal for every 2:30 minutes of ice time

 

[Summer Rose]

WTF is Rantanen?

I think that's a valid question, because at this point I'm starting to suspect him as being an alien from another planet.

 

[Coffey]

What a goddamn monster!!!

 

[BednarIsStupid]

Shitting on Rantanen after four games is understandable, but to downplay his heroics now is just lunacy. Mikko putting some fans straight to therapy

I don't see anyone shitting on his heroics right now. He's carrying Dallas. But, what's going on with the other forwards though?

 

[Zrhutch]

Everyone involved in that trade from Colorado needs to be fired and excommunicated from the sport of hockey. They have no f***ing clue what they’re doing.
