00:00so what can you compare this miko rantanen run to if anything that you've seen or covered
00:20uh oh boy nothing playoff wise honestly i mean when when the winnipeg jets selected uh patrick
00:29line back in 2016 and he was playing in the 17-18 season with the team there was a road trip i think
00:36where winnipeg went through new york where it seemed i think we played three games out there
00:42and it seemed every single game he had a couple goals and it was just like we the team didn't
00:48really have a whole lot going offensively but all of a sudden line it would pop on the ice and bang
00:51it's in the back of the net and all of a sudden winnipeg's up to one um that's as close as i can
00:56come to you know miko rantanen last year when he was with colorado against the winnipeg jets had
01:00nine points in that five game playoff series four of them were goals you know i mean he or sorry two
01:06were goals seven assists but the goals that he scored against winnipeg in game one were near
01:11carbon copies of what he was able to do with the avalanche in the previous series last year where
01:16it was just go to the net get that deflection get that rebound and obviously as you guys know he's a
01:20big body player that's hard to move out of there so obviously winnipeg's enough to make some adjustments
01:25but he's been a player that even going back to the colorado days has been a problem for the
01:30winnipeg jets for a little while
