Agreed. He's stepped his game up and is literally carrying the offense on his back.

 

[Linds]

Definitely in the conversation for the Hart trophy thus far

 

[jonlin]

31 shots on goal in the last 3 games. That is a LOT.

This last stretch with MacK out, Mikko has proven he can drive his own line from the wing. When MacK comes back they should try splitting them up. Harder to do with Nuke hurt again though…

I could see it. If we’re fully healthy that would give us 2 very good lines

Lando-Mack-Nuke
Lehk-ERod-Rants
Hook-JTC-Malgin
Cogs-Helm-LOC

Compher would kill that 3rd line. He doesn't think the game nearly as well as Newhook or Malgin.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Honestly think he’s been even better than the points suggest.

Agree that they’d be better off using him and MacK on separate lines. It is after all what they did in the playoffs.

I don’t see them doing it until they have a more healthy forward group though.

 

[RECKLESS]

I hope he's in either a deep hibernation or horribly drunk right now.

The two best ways for the moose to recover from this stretch.

250k fellas! And we know it ...

Merry Christmas boyos!

Mikko is a beast and I'm sauced

Some of these pictures, man lol

 

[Imppair]

The best player on the team tonight (again). Third one would be nice.

 

[Oan]

On pace to score 58 goals, breaking Sakics franchise single season record of 54.

Is that good?

Not for Matt Duchene.

Not for Matt Duchene.

Oh man. So glad we can look back on that now and things have greatly improved since.

Love or hate Roy’s tenure as coach, he was spot on with his response to that.

Yeah I'm in the vast minority here but I still maintain this was bad coaching and leadership by Patrick Roy.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Currently on a Hall of Fame pace. Maybe needs a major individual award to secure it but Mikko keeps up this pace of play for 6-7 more seasons hes a shoe in.

100% agree

I wonder if nationality matters. He could go down as one of the best Finn's ever(way too early to say the best, Kurri and Selanne were amazing). I think he has a style which should last fairly long. Not relying a lot on super fast speed etc. More smarts, power. Those last longer.

I do think nationality matters a bit and why I think Kopitar is a shoe in HOF.
