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

HOW is Rantanen???

When is Rantanen?

 

[SimpleJack]

When is Rantanen?

When isn't Rantanen?

 

[Drizzzt]

Arrived. Show presence. Owned former team, "off-ice buddies" and especially OWN the GENERAL MANAGER of the Avalance and Jared Bednar, who have gotten his trophy in '22. My question is where was the great Makar? ESPN especially always has his name in their collective mouths, and the absence of them talking about him was really apparent. They never asked that question on-air though....which is, in a word, "Peculiar?"

 

[Drizzzt]

When isn't Rantanen?

Nowhere.

Having a beer after scoring 3+1 in the last ten minutes of game seven.

Give the man a six-pack. If you get the joke, don't let Nico Harrison see you since he's in Dallas.

Edit: spelling.

 

[SillyRabbit]

People are clowning on OP but they should be praising them.

Rantanen clearly read this thread and decided to show OP what's what.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Colorado trading Rantanen away will go down as one of the bigger unforced errors in recent years.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

No. Colorado would still lose if Rantanen was on the team. Why does everyone think that he would suddenly help Colorado beat Dallas now? He lost to them last year...

...Because he had 4 points and a hattrick in Game 7? he was involved in every single goal. What more could a player do to help a team win?

He's saying that wouldn't have happened with him on the Avs.
Though their PP wouldn't have likely been as dogshit if they had him as an option

 

[Paper]

Also his stats were boosted because he played against Makar and MacKinnon and Lehkonen. Let's see what he's going to do now.

 

[MrLunatik]

That would be a quick turnaround for tee times

I feel like you may have missed the joke... or I did... one of us for sure though

 

[Bruce Granville]

HOW is Rantanen???

He is 7 feet tall and consumes the Avs with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse.

 

[behemolari]

I wish Dallas will advance just for seeing how many points Rantanen may produce after this thread was made

11 pts after the thread, where is Rantanen Mikko? At 2nd round yeaaah!!

 

[BullLund]

They f***ing only got past the second round once with him. Suddenly Rantanen goes beast mode for Colorado now??? Tell me. What would be different than previous years?

I can tell you what would be different now, they would've gotten past the first round.

 

[BednarIsStupid]

...Because he had 4 points and a hattrick in Game 7? he was involved in every single goal. What more could a player do to help a team win?

That's nice. Never seen him carry the Avalanche past the second round. Could it be that he's a better fit on Dallas as they have a better team???

 

[BednarIsStupid]

No. They wouldn't have. Dallas still would have found a way to beat Colorado. Their coach is better. Their depth is better. Colorado can't win Game 7's either.

I realised I misread your comment after M88K responded

Good to know. I feel like I'm being gaslit into thinking that things were great while Rantanen was on Colorado.

 

[BullLund]

Utterly ridiculous.

They were literally 10 minutes away from winning the series until Rantanen put the team on his backpack and carried Dallas to the finish line.

Take him out of Dallas and put him on Colorado, and it's blatantly obvious how differently the series would've gone.

 

[Schennanigans]

Busy torching his former team.

 

[Erika]

This is why he wasn't worth the contract. He is not a line driver, he got fed points by Mack and makar.

If he isn't scoring, most of the time he is invisible out there unless he is falling down from no contact

Lol ok... worst take on this board I've seen this year... aging like exposed milk in the sun...

 

[paragon]

Funniest thread on hfboards

 

[villacco]

Rantanen and MacKinnonen combined for 23 points in 7 games.
Another great playoff perfomance from those two..

So, the best Colorado could have hoped for was to neutralize someone by keeping them on their roster and letting them walk as a UFA? Colorado still would have found a way to lose.
