Mikko Rantanen Part IV - Baby Got Back

[S E P H]

 

[ElizaE]

What a performance!
Pay him he deserves it.

If Rants, Mac and Grubauer can keep this level the sky is the limit for this team...

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Rantanen this summer:

 

[Oan]

How was his playing tonight apart from his goals? Still looking injured?

Finally looked like himself

 

[The Merchant]

Best Finn in the league.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Best Finn in the league.

Barkov or Rantanen. Doesn't matter. Finland's future is bright! The best generation ever.

Teräväinen-Barkov-Laine
Granlund-Aho-Rantanen
Filppula-Koivu-Kapanen
Komarov-Kotkaniemi-Kakko

Ristolainen-Heiskanen
Vatanen-Lindell
Nutivaara-Maatta

Rask
Rinne

The defense is a bit of suspect, but the offense is the strongest ever and goalie are as good as ever.

I'm offended that Rantanen is not the top line RW

Yeah, obviously you play Laine and Aho together. Rants and Barkov is a nightmare to play against. Hintz should be in this team too. Välimäki?

 

[Ceremony]

I hope he can get up to speed quickly when he signs his contract in November.

 

[Barkkonen]

I hope he can get up to speed quickly when he signs his contract in November.

Oof, you think Sakic is going to lowball offer him or that his demands are that unrealistic?

 

[Ceremony]

He will be offered 7 million and not a penny more.

 

[AvsFan29]

He will be offered 7 million and not a penny more.

It'll be done on comparables.

The only thing I'm worried about is term. Those shorter term contracts are popular these days, with the salary cap increasing by 20% in the next few years.

I'd pay him 10x8 or 10.5x8 all day.

 

[Barkkonen]

He will be offered 7 million and not a penny more.

In that case, november sounds about right

 

[avsfan09]

He will be offered 7 million and not a penny more.

He'll be offered more than Draisaitl.

[Foppa Frossa]

Who was the guy on the Leafs that Rants stole the puck from? Seems like he sucks.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

That rush from Mikko against Boston was probably the best play of anybody on this team last season.


I mean its not like he pulled that shit off against a couple 4th liners. That was Bergeron and Marchand that he just completely evaded in the neutral zone and defensive zone.

That's good and all, but doesn't hold a candle to the best play of the last few years:

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

That's good and all, but doesn't hold a candle to the best play of the last few years:

Ya this is true. Comeau deserves an Oscar for his performance here making everyone believe he was going to shoot.

 

[The Abusement Park]

That's good and all, but doesn't hold a candle to the best play of the last few years:

I think this beats out Ovi’s goal vs the Yotes for play of the decade.

 

[the_fan]

That Comeau's breakaway move should be on a stamp like Forsberg's was

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Mikko said in an interview today that he was only able to start doing full training in the middle of July.

So he might have even more "back" to start next season......

Do you have a link? I like to read player interviews from back home.
