NHL Playoff Highlights | Avalanche vs. Stars | Gm 7 | May 03, 2025
and game seven is underway Cross ice
bounce foul to Chus and put it right on net and AER tested very early Now Sean
centers one and it’s picked off by Devon Taves sending Nathan McKennon away One
of the great skaters one of the great players Marty Nage is a shot blocked down by
Auterin and passed it off to Johnston Thomas Harley wristwan and wound up off the back wall
Mantinan 10 years with the Avalanche including the first half of this season Now Harley it gets
tipped just wide by Johnston from the high slot Lindell back into the corner And now Marchment
with some room Big and powerful forward at 65 Lindell put it on net off Blackwood and off
the back wall Clearing effort did not work as Dan Oor the referee got hit by the puck Here
is McKennon goes around Cece and a beautiful left pad save by Oder The puck against Colorado
even more importantly than any other team it’s got to go deep all the way down the ice Dallas
doesn’t get it all the way It just ends up at center down low trying to stuff it Naser held the
post Energy in a building that’s already rocking Jake Hotinger makes the stop here on Nas as he
comes out on the short side We’re under eight minutes to go first period It comes free to Nuskin
down low It wound up going wide as Auter lunged out at him Brock Nelson rebound free Charlie Coyle
set it toward the net Muskin’s going to come out of this pack He’s got Jonathan Druan open there
but that’s really well played by Blackwell Cece who played in the Stanley Cup final last year for
Edmonton played it ahead Rantonin on the back hand have not disappointed Excitement and chances at
both ends The last one’s Ranton and Blackwood makes the stop and still scoreless Yeah it’s
not like he filled the net during his time with Dallas 16 goals in parts of four season with
the Stars Then he has three in a game seven He was a part of that trade from Carolina along
with Nes that sent Nico Ranton into the Hurricanes for about a month and a half Gerard that’s
knocked down by the arm of Auter I would say that’s an advantage for Dallas That’s the way
they want to play Sam steel fourth line on He threw it on the net and then the followup fan
on by Beck Harley put it on net off the pad of Blackwood Shot blocked by Harley
I think some of the combatants thought it went out of the rink It
did not And here comes Myle Granling trying to split some defenders It
slid in to McKenzie Blackwood Now hits Stayed up on a dasher for a moment Harley
down low All alone Granland stopped He couldn’t lift the puck with Blackwood sprawling at him
This puck is going to go around the boards And as you mentioned Sean it stays up on the
dasher So Landiskog can’t get to it He’s kind of chasing it around the end but Blackwood
reads the deak Watch the right pad go right to the goal post There’s nowhere for Granland
to sweep it around And because he’s at the length of his stick as far as he can reach he’s
not going to be able to wedge He does have one here in this series It was one of those empty
net goals in game six Johnston a drive knocked down by Blackwood He couldn’t corral it but
the rebound was swept from harm Now it’s back in arm and backhanded on by Ben by Molinsky
And then the next rush same shift Johnston goes across to Donov It looked like dropped back
played by Okconor who has the only short-handed goal in this series He centers one They score
short-handed Josh Manson makes it one- nothing Colorado Up in the play trying to create some
offense A a poor entry into the zone by Hint Okconor takes off with his terrific speed and
nobody gets to Manson coming up the middle of the ice Duchain is late The pass from O’
Conor is right on the tape And Josh Manson has an empty net goal in game six He’s got the
short-handed goal in game seven Charlie Coyle back to the line Pointto point Taves to Macar
Mar that gets deflected a couple of times A backhand right on Kevin Rant managed to get a
shot on even though he was tied up in the slot The Niskan line is on for Colorado with Nelson
in the middle and Landiskog on the other wing Off the glass on it There’s a penalty coming
here against Dallas Blackwood’s out McKinnon attacks and scores Nathan McKinnon
makes it two to nothing Avalanche McKinnon’s going to come from the top end of
your screen as the puck will come back around Here comes McKinnon open around wide to Johnston
And remember on the first period on the power play at the line Petravic Bishel putting
it on bouncing high in the air played off There’s Shane stopped Great opportunity
for Matt Duchain Pocky holds it and as everybody gets to Rantin and tries to take
a look at him Duchain pulls up and he’s wide open Played in all six in the series
now all seven after playing in just five in the regular season 58 in the AHL Back for
Brandon Brandon in all kinds of room He scores Moansin has Dallas on the board Goals in 81 playoff games for the
A Look at the patience to walk across the slot to shoot it Sam Steel goes right through
Lchinan and Lingren with seven points combined and he has the goal that is Dallas on the board
O’ Conor kicked out Oh stop by Granlin now Many of the fans on their feet out in front and off
the stick of Harley He didn’t get a lot on it Probably got to get involved here He scores the
goal to make it 2-1 Manson A good stick left on Duchain who got his stick back but sent it back
to an empty point And the time ticking off the Stars man advantage and off the clock here in
the third period Branson in again Branson and scores off the skate of Gerard The former
Colorado Avalanche star has scored twice to tie it for Dallas Rantin comes with such power
and speed He catches Lindren flatfooted So he goes through that opening into the zone and the
puck hits the skate of Sam Gerard Back-to- back goals in the third period for Mo Ranton An
amazing turn of events Our rules expert Dave Jackson agrees with the call as Furry took down
Sean Power play for Dallas They just tied it A man up now trying to take the lead Down low
Johnston scores Wyatt Johnston with 356 to go Power play is perfectly executed
Duchain leaves the slot right on top of the crease and goes across the scene
to Wyatt Johnston from the acute angle Johnston has the patience and poise of someone
much more experienced The youngster fires it into the empty net 15.2 to go Colorado
the last 11 shot attempts Mar kept it in Prep Lindell didn’t get good on it but Sean
got it out Ranch it in again Unbelievable A legendary performance by
Ransin against this former team Four points in the second
period That was in a losing effort This is unbelievable Three goals and an
assist in the third period for Mo Rantin a remarkable game seven third player or coach
who’s won nine game sevens in NHL history and he’s 9 and0 and on his way to the second
round with an incredible come from behind

4 points for mikko legendary indeed
What a game. It’s impossible to not like Stanley cup
This was a super cool game to watch! This couldve been a Stanley Cup Finals Game 7. Both teams put on a good show for the fans. I think Dallas got really lucky tonight though. They had their screw ups in Game 6 and they really slowed the Aves down this game versus 50 SOG, but they got lucky. Something in their game needs to change or theyre gonna get crushed next round. Its only gonna get harder. They either play really technically and need to loosen the screws, or theyre not a really big (Andre the Giant) type guy that if they grab you they'll beat you to a pulp, but slow enough that if you can be fast enough to manuver around youre good. That puck was in their D-Zone far too much and far too long. They need to being it up a couple notches. I think Colorado played well and Dallas got lucky. Still a solid game though. That second goal off his toe. Wow!
Best Game 7 hat trick I've seen since Joel F-ing kiviranta
Hirvi pääsi löysäksi
No words… You just can't lose games like this.
Avs with Harden energy at the end 😭
Someone in that Avalanche office should be fired for letting this man go, could of had a second run but I guess where getting a rematch Oilers Vs Panthers. Saga not finished
This win was so sweet! It was more than a win! It was a statement to quiet all the haters. GO STARS!
LUCK wanted Dallas to win. Unfortunate.
Mikko, I'll always love ya despite ripping my heart out tonight. Best of luck moving forward Stars, bring home the Cup!
NHL, pull your heads out of your rear ends and fix your stupid playoff seating system
🔥 🔥 🔥
Av fans must hate Rantanen 😂
I hate how talent like Makar, MacKinnon, Necas and Lehkonen had to go in the first round, but this is what happens when you make The Moose mad by booing him every time he touches puck in the cauldron that has been his home for a decade.
Considering the Massive amount of backstory coming into tonight.
Rantenan was unreal.
This game was Pure Cinema!!
Only a fool would trade him🙄
What a game🔥🔥 even just listening while driving it was awesome
Let this be a lesson to owners…….PAY YOUR PLAYERS!!!
Wow.
Tää oli parasta urheilupornoa mitä vaan voi olla!!!
Is that it, why Avs sold Rantanen🤔😂
Avalanche with the Toronto choke lol
Imagine booing a guy who was loyal to your organization and then he comes back and embarrasses their entire organization 😂 damn avs fans
Well there is Mikko 'Nothing without Mackinnon and Makar' Rantanen
⭐️ YALL DESERVE THIS WIN 🏆
Maybe Colorado should’ve paid Rantanen that 14 million after all.
Ehat did the Avs need to win tonight?
Mikko Rantanen.
Where was Necas? Complete ghost like he always is in the playoffs.
Smart people said that trade would haunt the Avs in the playoffs….and it did.
An individual Performance for the ages. Like a Hollywood movie script
How can you not be romantic 'bout hockey! <3
Incredible
"LeT's TraDE rAnTanEn"
Listen, i think martin necas is great. But if that isn’t a kick in the balls if ive ever seen it!
Holey Rantanen!!!
I can't wait for all the pearl clutchers to start saying Mikko shouldn't have put it in the empty net at the end there.
Mikko big game
Always amazes me when a 7 games series ends up being won by 1 goal ( sorta). Everyone predicted an easy win for Colorado, congrats to Dallas fans
This is how you leave a mark into history =) Great last word from Rantanen
That is a okay trade…….
Granlund probably the most underrated player at dallas
From beginning to end, this series was incredible, and Pete DeBoer remains Mr. Game 7. Hats out to Mikko Rantanen, the moose, who played against his old squad.
As a salty Canes fan – ** you, Colorado, I will never forgive you for blowing a 2:0 lead in the third period.
thats SISU
Haha Drury. The most stupid thing to do ever😂
Wow wow wow….Now THAT is a deserved win. Stars deserve to win the cup after a showing like that. So exciting, so much fun. 🇨🇦
Dallas vs. St. Louis would be a wonderful rematch.
According to Denver, all their problems had gone with Georgiev's departure, and they even celebrated his struggle and defeats in San Jose.
