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

Will be nothing compared to what he does to his real nemesis... the Carolina Hurricanes.

I’d love nothing more than for him to have the chance!

Top 3 in playoff points now? With 8 points in his last 2 games, dudes lighting it up. Mack benefited a lot more from him than some people would like to admit.

Well sure playing with elite talent helps anybody. The Avs miss an elite finisher and Mikko's shot on the right wing especially on the PP.

I'm taking Mikko in a game 7 any day over Mack. But overall MacKinnon is clearly the better player.

Now to bump this thread after Carolina inevitably loses in 5 because they can't score any goals.

This thread is epic. Of outhouse and burning villages fame.

I knew Rantanen would eventually show up in this series.

But everyone kept saying how he needs #29 and #8 to produce

 

[Miro4Norris]

I have never seen a player to carry a team as hard as Rantanen these last 3 games. Could have had 6 points tonight. Other Stars forwards were doing nothing most of the game

Suck it Colorado enjoy your Necas

Legend

 

[Ghost of Murph]

This is why you pony up for guys who bring it in the playoffs. Rantanen is a big time difference maker, and just added a huge chunk to his growing legend tonight. Still in awe of a third period hatty plus an assist in a game 7 comeback win again the team that traded him. About as clutch as it gets.

Guy can't drive his own line. Needs Mack to do it for him - Av fans

Dude literally just put Dallas on his back and did it all alone.

But Canada still doesn't respect Columbus

 

[ExarKun80]

He appeared in the most clutch moment and sent the AVS to Cancun. He outplayed Mack and Macar when it mattered the most.

Dumb move by Sakic to cheap out on a proven playoff beast like Rantanen for a dude like Necas.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Mikko making all the haters eat their own words. He's a superstar.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Why did the Avs trade him? You usually see teams make room for homegrown players like this.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Guy is an absolute animal

 

[KillerMillerTime]

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.

This aged well...lol.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Okay, but has he really shed the argument that he only plays well in games with Nathan MacKinnon?

 

[McFlyingV]

Where are all those Avs fans who said he's been awful and wasn't worth the money at the time of the trade?

 

[tabness]

Laughing all the way to the bank

and the second round lolololol

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Necas has his flaws but he doesn’t suck lol

Great comment, lol.

 

[tabness]

I found it strange Avs fans were lukewarm about losing Rantanen. As a Habs fan I think we'd have a meltdown if a 100pt powerforward winger who already won us a Cup was going to leave. What happened?

I don't think they lukewarm anymore lol
