Even when the Avalanche are playing against his longtime team, former Dallas Stars great and Hall of Fame center Mike Modano still doesn’t hesitate to proclaim Colorado’s top line of Mikko Rantanen, Gabe Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon as the best in all of hockey.
After MacKinnon’s second-period goal initially gave Colorado the lead in its 3-2 victory over the Stars at the Pepsi Center on Saturday, Modano tweeted, “Still #1.. @Avalanche that line can’t be stopped.”
Still #1.. @Avalanche that line can’t be stopped
That sentiment was followed by another tweet a couple hours later, after Rantanen’s late third-period goal gave Colorado its sixth comeback victory of the season.
