May 4May 4 That tying goal by Rantanen is one of the best goals in Stars history. Just pure sex. A little luck of course.His first goal was the type of goal that you want from a $12M/yr player. Straight up alpha shit there.
May 4May 4 playoff hockey, nothing like it really.And that’s just Round 1.My dog thinks we won the Cup tonight based on my celebration of Rantanen’s empty-netter.

May 4May 4 Who is everybody pulling for tomorrow?The Jets have killed us but Hellebuyck is a mess. St Louis was red hot to just get in playoffs and Binnington has beaten us before. We’d have home ice vs St Louis. I don’t think there’s a wrong answer here.

May 4May 4 Not much more here. Quote Stars head coach Pete DeBoer classified both defenseman Miro Heiskanen (knee) and left winger Jason Robertson (knee) as “day-to-day” ahead of the second round of the postseason. He said that there are “still some hurdles” for both to clear and that it could depend on when the series will start. The Stars will play either the Winnipeg Jets or the St. Louis Blues. “I believe you’re going to see them both play in the second round,” DeBoer said after the Stars’ 4-2 Game 7 win Saturday night. “I don’t know if it’s going to be Game 1 or Game 3 or Game 5.”
May 4May 4 Caught the second and third periods. Really enjoyable watch. Read this was the first time a team was down by multiple goals in the third and went on to win in regulation in the last game of a Stanley Cup series.

I kept muttering to myself that they need to change the camera angle because they were missing the best part.
May 4May 4 Seems like you can from a PC without logging in. Anyhow, it’s the Avs radio PBP guy on each of the goals.

May 4May 4 Avs announcers" officiating has certainly played a role in this 3rd Period." Translation: "I cannot believe they started calling those tackles our defenders keep doing." Drury's was practically a suplex, and they still seemed surprised. Edited May 4May 4 by Iceman
May 4May 4 They definitely know how to create open ice for their fast skaters. Holding and interfering. Though the seguin call wasn’t for that purpose. Edited May 4May 4 by Pato del Muerto
May 4May 4 The Avs had a 3rd Period power play and also whiffed on their 4 minute PP in the first. They did capitalize on the 6-on-5 with MacKinnon just streaking like a missile from the bench. That was a great hockey play. Both teams absolutely had their chances. Edited May 4May 4 by Iceman
May 4May 4 Author I've watched with envy in the past when superstars like Mac or Kucherov or McDavid absolutely put the team on their shoulders and win a huge game for them, basically by themselves. We've always been on the receiving end of that magic, and now we finally have a player capable of doing it. It's without hyperbole that I say Mikko Rantanen is the best player to ever put on a Stars jersey and he proved it last night. The Stars have been a conglomerate of good players with the teams getting the most out of every player to win. but now we're a band of excellent players with a superstar leading the way. Get miro and robo back and look the fuck out
May 4May 4 I was perusing the Denver Post in order to relish in the Avalanche misery and I came across this… 1. Game 7 demons exorcised: The Avs entered Saturday night with ghosts aplenty. Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Gabe Landeskog and head coach Jared Bednar had never won a winner-take-all Game 7. They’d never come back to win a series. And they’d also never dispatched a team coached by Peter DeBoer, losing three separate series with the veteran coach behind the bench with San Jose (2019), Vegas (2021) and Dallas (2024). And those demons remain — for another year at least. In perhaps the most painful way possible. Mikko Rantanen, himself winless in four Game 7s, stuck the dagger in with two straight third-period goals (a third came on an empty net). Then he twisted it on the power play, starting a tic-tac-toe that ended with Wyatt Johnston scoring the game-winner from an impossible angle. This is the kind of loss that lingers for decades. The kind that leads to pink slips. 2. O'Connor strikes ... again: A four-minute power play came up empty in the first period, and the Avs had fewer than 10 shots on goal midway through the second period when Parker Kelly got sent to the penalty box. Naturally, that's also when Logan O'Connor did what he does best: Make something happen. And, of course, everyone's favorite greasy goal scorer did it on the penalty kill. The puck squirted loose along the boards in the neutral zone, and O'Connor went on the attack, securing the turnover and delivering a perfect centering feed to a rushing Josh Manson for a one-timer that Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger had no chance of stopping. It was O'Connor's fourth assist, and sixth point, of the series. And yet another reminder of how much his absence hurt the Avs' playoff run a year ago. 3. Going bust: Avs GM Chris MacFarland pushed all his chips into the center of the table for this one, executing eight in-season trades that completely reshaped the roster. Two remade their goaltending depth. Another seemingly solved the post-Nazem Kadri 2C problem. And the most explosive sent away a franchise icon in Rantanen ... who just so happened to be the one who killed their season on Saturday. Unlike their basketball counterparts playing a Game 7 of their own back in Denver, the Avs have never been afraid to take risks. But right now, after a second first-round exit in three seasons, the Avs have to be wondering if it was all worth it. All of their picks in the first three rounds of the 2025 and '26 NHL drafts are now gone. So, too, is top prospect Calum Ritchie. And that 2C solution? Brock Nelson will be a 33-year-old free agent this summer. A massive offseason awaits. https://www.denverpost.com/2025/05/03/avalanche-stars-game-7-mikko-rantanen-slapshots/amp/

Get miro and robo back and look the fuck out To lay claim to that title, imo you have to accomplish greatness with the Stars, not just teams prior to the Stars. Who cares whether Emmitt Smith is the greatest RB in Arizona Cardinal history. He didn’t do anything for the Cardinals. So given that criteria, while last night was amazing, Rantanen has a long way to go to get that title for the Stars. But I understand what you’re saying.
May 4May 4 Author ^ that really underscores the two approaches from two very different GM's. Nill's slow burn approach has us icing 11 players on the current roster who the Stars drafted: Benn, Bourque, Back, Hintz, Johnston, Robertson, Bichsel, Harley, Heiskanen, Lindell, Oettinger. The Avs have 3: MacKinnon, Makar, Landeskog - that's it. I think regardless of what happens this season, Nill has put us in a position where all he has to do is swap out a player or two and send everyone back out there. Colorado is going to have to revamp their lineup every season for the foreseeable future, so that author above is correct. Could take a decade to fix this mess. Probably not, but could.
