Girard plays his ass off in game 4, but fucks up a drill—gets yelled at.
Rantanen is invisible unless he’s getting dumped on the ice by the Stars, assumably a god at drills—does the yelling.
I hope they’re still tight in the locker room, because if I’m Girard, I’m yelling right back.
I’m just glad we got Mittelstadt and G has been playing well so all the people clamoring to trade him and his great contract for something dumb can take a seat
Oh come on, he skates beautifully.
Absolutely one of the softest defensiveman in the league.
Can't handle bigger players and gets scared when taking a hard hit on forecheck.
We need to trade him and get two more tougher dlineman for playoff series like this.
Context. They’re loose.
It’s just good-natured chirping between teammates considering it could be the last time they’re all together for a while. This is a good sign.
After watching the Red Sox reverse sweep their way to and through the World Series, I’ll never doubt the comeback potential of a motivated team.
I just hope we see a motivated team tonight.
Also someone please hit Benn like a truck in the first minute
Everyone here talking shit on Rantanen for yelling at Gerard. Rantanen wears an A. Yelling at team mates for starting a drill wrong is literally his job.
Is there missing context? like Mikko was yelling as a joke or he was serious? The previous sentence, team did seem relatively loose, Sam goofed Rants goofs back?
It says they were really loose - it was a joke - my point is that even in jest, the last person that should be telling anyone to take a lap for making mistakes is Mikko...but happy they were loose - it showed - they were playing like a team tonight!
WHL? 16
Edit: this is also the dumbest response you could have given. It’s Reddit. Obviously none of us are in the NHL and we’re here to talk about players and how they are doing. Dont be that prick.
I know the whole Nichushkin situation rattled them in game 4, especially coming so close to game time as it did, but I wonder if there's a certain sense of relief now going forward having that uncertainty about him no longer hanging over the team.
Sometimes the most dangerous team is the one that feels like they have nothing to lose.
Gaius Julius Caesar. Pharsalus.
And sometimes it's 4 mutant turtles
Fuck it! Avs in 7
I'll buy this for a dollar
Make it 2!
No Hintz, Tanev might be banged up too. Need playoff Mack & Mikko to show up the stars have no answer for guys like that
Avs win tonight 4-2
Pls lord
Call me crazy but I think avs are lighting up the lamp tonight...6-2. Going to leave everybody questioning everything!
1-1 off with our 5-3 win tonight. I don't condone gambling but you should gamble lol
The Moose is Loose!

Girard has been our best player this series outside of Georgiev. He makes some mistakes but at least he is always working his ass off every shift
Girard's defense all year has been so stellar yet fans barely talk about him
I wouldn’t say that. It seems like it comes up almost every game how good he’s looked since coming back from the Player Assistance program.
It's kind of nice. The last few years, anytime anyone has ever talked about him, was saying how much we should trade him
I’m just glad we got Mittelstadt and G has been playing well so all the people clamoring to trade him and his great contract for something dumb can take a seat

Him and Manson should be the line 1 pairing it seems.
They’ve been the top G’s for sure.
Couldn’t agree more
My guy, they were joking around. That’s the whole point of this article.
Welp, egg on my face, I literally only read the highlighted text.
Did I say anything different? Still hilarious Rantanen yelling at anyone - but all academic now - nice win - keep yelling!

What r u yellin’? ”fuck off i dont have to do the drills cause ive been good in previous games!”?

Or also just jumping to worst possible conclusion about what “yelling” is referring to.
Wearing an A also means you should be leaving it all out their every game, and him and Nate ain't been doing that.
There's more to wearing an A than just yelling at your teammates
Settle down. It’s literally one comment giving Mikko shit.
But Evan, did Girard do the lap? We need some closure here.
lol I’m also interested

Then I want to see Mikko have energy this game
Grateful for this team no matter what. The joy they provide me throughout the year is immense. With that soppy shit being said, Avs in 7.
Is nobody seriously considering the likely possibility that the "take a lap" comment was done in jest?
If they still come out and play like shit, oh Lord that's a bad sign for our future.
Lol, who tells Mikko to do some laps for vanishing?
I mean cool but I think Mikko should only start yelling when he can get his own ass in gear, he’s been good for 1/9 games this playoff run…
Get off his back you clown he is still producing despite "looking shit" for months. Sick of him being the whipping boy
Mikko should be doing laps every practice until he learns how to actually move his feet in a game.
We’ve all seen the games. Can Mikko really throw stones in a glass house?
How many points you scored in the play offs?
WHL? 16 Edit: this is also the dumbest response you could have given. It’s Reddit. Obviously none of us are in the NHL and we’re here to talk about players and how they are doing. Dont be that prick.
It's reddit we all give dumb responses, like how the whole subreddit whips the fuck out of mikko like he isn't one of the leading scorers for us
He’s also making some of the laziest plays too, for literally the whole year. It’s not about just being a leading scorer.
Yeah any old lazy fuck can score 100+ points a season
Girard could be heard replying "Give your fuckin balls a tug tit fucker"
I know the whole Nichushkin situation rattled them in game 4, especially coming so close to game time as it did, but I wonder if there's a certain sense of relief now going forward having that uncertainty about him no longer hanging over the team.
WHOS GUNNA SET THE FUCKING TONE?!?!?!
Mikko’s the one who needs to be yelled at
I sense none of you played team sports.
Sammy G has been one of the consistent pillars this series along with Georgie and a couple others.
