Sherri West+FollowSakic Speaks Out: Why Moose Had to GoAvs Nation, the Moose trade finally got the full Sakic treatment. Joe Sakic laid it all out—keeping Mikko, MacK, and Makar together just wasn’t doable with the cap crunch. He said paying three superstars left the Avs too thin, and that’s why the blockbuster deal happened. Sure, Rantanen’s lighting it up in Dallas, but Sakic’s betting on depth over star power. Did the Avs make the right call, or will this haunt us for years? #GoAvsGo #NHL #Rantanen #Sakic #StanleyCup #Sports00Share

Molly Tucker+FollowMacKinnon Left Stunned After Avs CollapseWow, what a brutal way for the Avs’ season to end. MacKinnon was on fire, scoring early in the third, but then it all unraveled. Rantanen—who the front office traded away—torched us with a hat trick for Dallas. You could see the shock on Nate’s face postgame. Hard not to wonder if keeping the Moose would’ve changed everything. That trade is going to haunt MacFarland for a long time. Thoughts on how the core moves forward from here? #GoAvsGo #NHLPlayoffs #MacKinnon #Rantanen #HockeyTalk #Sports60Share
Molly Tucker+FollowRantanen’s Chemistry Woes: Can He Deliver?Big news out of Dallas: Coach DeBoer isn’t sugarcoating Mikko Rantanen’s slow start against the Avs. The Finnish Moose has yet to hit the scoresheet in this series, and line combos are still a work in progress. With the Stars-Avalanche rivalry heating up again, fans are wondering—can Rantanen finally click with his new teammates and be the difference-maker? Or will the Avs’ trade pieces outshine him?

Jason Dawson+FollowCould a Line Swap Ignite the Moose?Stars fans, is it time for Coach DeBoer to shake things up and get the "Moose" rolling? Mikko Rantanen’s been quiet against his old Avs squad, but a simple winger swap—pairing him with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston—could be the spark we need. Rantanen’s playmaking could thrive on that line, spreading out our firepower and maybe forcing Colorado to adjust. Do you think this tweak could finally get Mikko on the scoresheet and tilt the series our way? Let’s hear your takes! #TexasHockey #NHLPlayoffs #GoStars #Rantanen #StarsVsAvs #Sports90Share
