Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen's teammate, Mikko's Finnish countryman and Avalanche captain, is not the only Finn on the team who's been making headlines for his on-ice intensity. However, another Finn, Mikko's teammate, Mikko Rantanen's linemate, is reportedly putting aside friendships as the Avalanche face off against their former team in the Western Conference Finals. The Avalanche will be taking on the Dallas Stars, a team they have a complex history with, having traded away key player in a blockbuster deal just last season. The trade sent shockwaves throughout the hockey world, and now the two teams are set to clash in a highly anticipated series. Rantanen and his Avalanche teammates will be looking to put aside any personal animosity and focus on taking down their former rivals.
