Statistically, the Colorado Avalanche have one of the best lines in the NHL led by team captain Gabriel Landeskog, Hart Trophy finalist Nathan MacKinnon, and Finnish sniper Mikko Rantanen, who as of Sunday morning, is tied with Patrice Bergeron for the most points in the NHL at 24 with nine goals and 15 assists in 16 games played.
While the North American media is starting to give the right winger the press he deserves, the media back home in his country has certainly made note of his hot start.
A native of Nousiainen, Finland, Rantanen had early aspirations of making the NHL as a young boy.
Speaking with Finnish publication, Iltalehti, Rantanen's father, Hannu, showed off a pair of Father's Day gifts Mikko gave him when he was just a young boy, highlighting his love for the game of hockey and specifically, the NHL.
While the Colorado Avalanche team logo and name are absent from the group of teams, you can't help but chuckle at some of the logos Rantanen drew and the way he phonetically wrote them in his Finnish language.
"BRÖDERÖ, PITSPÖK, FILADELFIA are pretty hilarious to see.
And how about the logos of the Sabres, Senators, Hurricanes? Above the Leafs logo, he appears to write the name of Mats Sundin and Aki Berg.
According to the article, Hannu Rantanen will travel to Colorado from the homeland to spend some quality time with his son. Here's hoping he brings more artwork from his son that will bless the internet with some more artwork on toilet paper.
