Rantanen also made a history in the Colorado match that no other player could do: hat trick in the final round of the decisive seventh match.

Iltalehti hockey expert Pekka Virta Has been awful of running Rantanen.

– After all, it’s staggering when you think about the challenge of the whole situation. There were rumors about and also about possible trade. That he concludes an extension agreement and continues in the familiar and safe. Then came some kind of surprise shop in a non-liking place.

– In that situation, you should then try to focus on the essentials and show what it is paid for here. However, that performance is displayed on the ice. It is different to do the single regular season game and those where something is solved. This has been a written story that he turned the whole thing against his old company in one installment. We do not understand what things are about.

Power rumbles that Rantanen’s fierce flight also affects the collective of the entire star shirt orchestra. As the star player shines and shows, others gain confidence.

Power does not start to speculate on how Rantanen was terrifying right now, but he has a strong view of the matter.

– Perhaps the peace that has come after the contract and merchant and the settlement. Emotion that we are now and it is peace to focus on the essentials. It releases energy and joy.

Turbulence inside and in civilian life often also affects the basic performance of everyday life. The same goes for sports.

– Good things in the game do not happen by forcing and forcibly. The field is also played by the field and the superior field – how the entity works.

Blue -white splendor

Rantanen has played the playoffs in the Finnish chain, complemented by centimeters Roope Hintz and Mikael Granlund.

The trio has been in a tough shot, which is indicated by Rantanen’s power alone. Hintz has scored 4+4 = 8 in eight playoff games this season. Granlund’s balance has been silent (8 matches., 1+1) compared to his compatriots, but the convener does work from one evening to another that is not visible in the point statistics.

According to the current, a working chain is extremely important for individuals to shine.

-Rantanen’s adaptation has certainly made it easier for the familiar Finnish men, guys who have played Dallas reel. They are also able to discuss what the team’s game has been and what the coaches expect. However, it has yielded results.

– Certainly part of the reason that the game is working on the ice has been just accelerating the adaptation thanks to the Finns. However, the nature of a Finnish hockey player is such that this is a joint game. There are no egorist conflicts.

Rantanen’s special strength is clearly reflected in the Colorado seventh leg of Rantanen, finishing 1-2.

Rantanen brings the reel over the blue line to the Colorado attack area, and while other Stars players play straight towards the goal, Rantanen rhythmic the situation so that she moves in the middle and slides in a good place to go.

Virta sees Rantanen’s strength as a goalkeeper in cunning and understanding the game.

– If the five -game game works, then Mikko’s strength is finishing. He knows how and dares to make decisions that many do not dare to make at these moments. He knows all the time where I paint the poles and goalkeeper are. He does not try to shoot the goalkeeper and does not hustle in the solutions, Virta praises.

Virta will end up with a hard view.

– Now I don’t know if hat tricks will slide from the strap every night, but I don’t see why Mikko’s game would become worse. Rather, here is the opportunity to grow during the playoffs.
