Maybe he’s the best when it’s all said and done but I’m not overlooking players like Modano because of a dominant 3-game run by Rantanen. Also, I don’t think he’s near the two-way player somebody like Mo was once Hitchcock unlocked that part of his game. Rantanen isn’t a total zero on defense but that’s never been his thing. But, yes, I’m not sure we’ve ever had a player that could just put the rest of the team on his back like Mikko in the third last night and said, “let’s fucking go.” And then do it. Dutch said the following in Pierre LeBrun’s article in The Athletic: “He just said, `F–k this’ on that first goal. And after that, you could feel something was coming. You could just feel it. He stepped up last few games big time. It was great.’’ I’ll post the whole article from my computer when I get on in a bit. It’s a bit clumsy on the phone.
