The Colorado Avalanche made their bed with Mikko Rantanen. Now, they have to lie in it with their once-promising season over thanks to a Rantanen hat trick for the Dallas Stars in Saturday night's Game 7.

It wasn’t a handshake line at the end of this remarkable seven-game series for Mikko Rantanen. It was a hug line.

Former NHL defenseman PK Subban, now an analyst for ESPN, chimed in on Rantanen's historic outing while appearing on "NHL on ESPN," highlighting such a performance to send a warning to other high-salary players across the league.
