The year 2025 completely changed one of the NHL’s brightest Superstars, Mikko Rantanen. He was traded twice in one season and had many reporters and writers questioning whether he was ever a superstar at all. Yet, Rantanen harnessed all of this negative energy and used it to become an absolute Wrecking Ball on the ice. So let’s talk about how one full year of NHL Hockey, turned Rantanen into a Villain.

I hate that he’s becoming a dirty player
I find it funny when people make it out like the Avs screwed him over as if he wasn’t offered a $11.5 million per year contract, declined it, and then in the end got a grand total of $12 million a year.
Loved the moose when he was here, then he goes to dallas the biggest team of goons in the league and is playing like a rat. Everyday I'm less sad hes gone because hes becoming a real POS
He should have to be in a phone booth with Patrick Roy for 10 mins. Promise Roy's ending up as the last man standing.
The department of player safety is very poorly named. It has been functioning like the department of giving dirty play cover.
The canes didn't trade him because he struggled to produce. They traded him because he wouldn't sign an extension.
Avs TRIED to sign him but he wasn't judging from his 14 million a year price tag, and he only accepted the contract in Dallas after being refused that 14 million a year price tag by all three teams
Got traded away and they boo him
If he was on the leafs or a leafs player he would’ve had 5 games minimum
Well done video. 👍
Rantenan showed up to Carolina and basically said he didn't want to play for them
This is… kind of a dog shit analysis. I'm an Avs fan and have some beef with Mikko, but nobody really thinks he was or is dirty. Second hit was iffy, first hit was nothing, this is retaliation.
Being tough is great, but those sneaky hits from beforehand they require zero toughness or grit really bug me.
If it’s an accident once every 8-10 years then sure shit happens. Otherwise it is just utterly scummy and pathetic
If you’re gonna play the villain just be ready to answer the bell, don’t be a coward.
I love this. Other teams are so scared of him. And I am all for it. The dude is a monster. I am going to say Dallas in 4, The Avs wont stand a chance against this monster.
Can't wait for them to play the Flames again. Payback is a bitch
Big strong power forward. Buddy is using his body ( he doesn’t know how strong he is or he’s gotten stronger as he’s aged and his brain hasn’t figured out the changes)
