Kakko with the power move i've been waiting 50 games for. MORE OF THAT YOUNG BUCK.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Beautiful sequence right up until the point where the puck touched Staal's stick.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Kakko is seriously finding himself since getting 4th line treatment

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

He does seem to have cooled down.

He’s still setting guys up left and right but they’re not converting anymore.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Really happy with Kakko’s play tonight. A garbage time goal would be icing on the cake.

 

[DuneGoon84]

The play ends when Staal touches the puck. Ugh...

 

[GAGLine]

Kakko with the power move i've been waiting 50 games for. MORE OF THAT YOUNG BUCK.

Ironically, he had a chance to pass the puck to the open man in the slot just prior to that, but elected to skate it out in front. Was still a good chance.

You telling me no one in this organization knew that we could have used PDG on the third or the worst fourth line in hockey like 20 games ago?! He actually doesn’t have stone hands along the boards in the offensive zone

PDG legal pick created the room for him. PDG's been good

 

[Kakko]

Panarin and DeAngelo are so good together

 

[Machinehead]

if it makes you be less obtuse about it, you can mentally add "on a relative basis to other humans on planet Earth" to any effort related comments I make on the team

You're the one being obtuse by making it sound so simple.

If success if the NHL came down to "wanting it" every single team would be good.

I said it after preseason he should have made the team...he was playing exactly like this.

 

[Kords]

So Igor gets the Vezina if he started this season and I don't wanna hear no guff on the matter!

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

Staal is just HORRIBLÈ

 

[Cmox]

He’s still setting guys up left and right but they’re not converting anymore.

I guess that whole line is tired? Even though strome is having a game. But he( Panarin) seems to be flubbing shots and give aways.

 

[Machinehead]

By the way, I took a look, and Howden's ice time started caving right around the time our metrics started trending up.

Just floating that one out there.

I'd rather he explores the space finding his shot and moving his feet into the danger areas than make a slightly higher % passing play but I know what you're saying. I want that mentality though.

 

[Maximus]

I hope so. He's been really unimpressive at times... looks like he's sulking or tired or just out of gas. It's odd.

Even for guys who aren't blazing speed, they seem to be pushing the pace. He seems like he's just coasting sometimes.

I really believe Kakko is going to be just fine. I think the fact he never really had an offseason last year as he was playing in all these tournaments and doing his thing in the Finnish league he played in, he never really got into the kind of shape he needs to be in.

I'd bet my hefty mortgage after an intense offseason training regimen, Kakko comes into camp next year like a new man...we'll see but I feel confident of this.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Is breadman ok? I like how him getting only a ppg is worrisome.

He's been great tonight. He's fed Fast and Strome about 10 grade A chances tonight.

 

[Miamipuck]

I really don’t miss Pionk whatsoever.

But you do miss Stionk!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Shesty is in Laine’s head lol

 

[Cmox]

He's been great tonight. He's fed Fast and Strome about 10 grade A chances tonight.

Oh I know He has but he’s also had a bunch of give aways that seems unlike him.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

By the way, I took a look, and Howden's ice time started caving right around the time our metrics started trending up.

Just floating that one out there.

Our dmen are finding their game...players are all buying into what Quinn has been preaching, one players minutes didnt make this happen.

 

[turcotte8]

He's been great tonight. He's fed Fast and Strome about 10 grade A chances tonight.

There's another one.

 

[Maximus]

That was absolutely filthy there by Laine.

Shit like that is why he's going to have a few 50 goal seasons on his resume when all is said and done!
