How about that for an 18 year old

 

[NYRFANMANI]

EN for Kakko, after a great poke check ... man if we don't get to draft this kid ...

 

[EdJovanovski]

KAAPO KAKKO

 

[Rangers in 7]

devils are so going to take him haha

 

[Zibanejbread]

lol AV. lol Canada

 

[Bluenote13]

Kaaped that one off nicely

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Finland outshot Canada 13-6 in the third period, where have I seen that before?

 

[tellermine]

It is still a teamsport.
Attitude,will, dissipline, teamplay.

Sisu and Perkele.

No chance.

Shero doesn’t have the stones

 

[Fugazy]

We should probably draft Kaapo Kakko.

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

devils are so going to take him haha

Don't think we'll have to really worry about that.

 

[WeRa]

This is THE player we need.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Such a wonderful sight.... This kid, all the talk, dominated against some of Canada’s best players..

Zibanejad and Kakko are going to dominate

 

[Levitate]

It'd still probably take a real bad tournament by Hughes to change things to any degree. I admit I like the idea of Kakko a bit more for his size and puck control ability along the boards, etc, but I still can't see the Devils taking him...the lure of having such a strong 1-2 punch down the middle for them as well as Hughes (so far) doing nothing to indicate he SHOULDN"T be number 1...

Really just seems more like both teams will get a great player

[CaptTennille]

As a beer leaguer, I for one cannot wait until CCM offers a "Kakko" curve, then I can beam with pride as I shank shots high and wide.

 

[MrAlmost]

I’m having trouble navigating this YouTube page. Could anyone help out?

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

This kid is a physical freak for an 18 year old.

 

[ThirdEye]

Going to be a monster

I honestly think his floor is like 70 points. So many tools to work with

 

[Nate070]

I do see some of the Hossa/Kakko similarities.

Finland has quite the crop of top young forwards. Barkov, Rantanen, Aho, Laine, Terovainen, Kotkaniemi... hard to remember when they've had more depth.

Never before. Kinda same on defense

 

[cheech70]

Canadians were sucking wind. Probably out till bars closed. Kakko is as advertised.

Could you imagine the chip on Hughes’ shoulder if he wasn’t selected first and went right across the Hudson? Talk about motivation

Never looked at it like that. Love that haha.

We win either way.
