Inside Mikko Rantanen’s Secret Mindset That Transforms Him Into an Unstoppable Playoff Force
Trade Deadline Fallout: Mikko Rantanen; Why Dallas and Not Carolina?
Hintz, Granlund, And Rantanen Took Off
That is the stuff that legends are made of, especially in a Game 7. Stars head coach Pete DeBoer, now 9-0 in Game 7s, pushed all the right buttons in the series. With the Stars missing their best defenseman in Miro Heiskanen and one of their best forwards in Jason Robertson, DeBoer put the Finnish Line of Mikael Granlund, Hintz, and Rantanen together.
“Let’s be honest, he took over the series the last three, four games. He just decided that we were not going to go home and we were not going to lose. I think it started then,” Pete DeBoer told the media after Game 7. “But I mean, what you witnessed there was special. This was Colorado and the team he had played for for a decade, and I don’t know all the behind the scenes, what went on there. But he was a motivated guy to make an impact in this series, and he just got better and better.”
