[EdJovanovski]

Kakko came out so fired up about being benched lmao
More of that pls

 

[17futurecap]

Hold this now you idiots.

 

[Raspewtin]

HE DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!

 

[will1066]

The hardest slapper Kakko ever did in his life. All the season's anguish and pain were released with that shot

 

[RangersFan1994]

Mika again 4 goal game. It's a powerplay goal 5-4 RANGERS

 

[Rempe73]

His competitiveness has nothing to do with rust. With him not seeing in game action and only seeing practice shots for an extended period of time being rusty in unavoidable. He went almost 4 full weeks without seeing any game time. There's not a goalie alive who's not going to be rusty in that scenario. Especially a goalie who has never really had a layoff outside of the offseason that long for his entire career. He's always been bad after long breaks and takes time to get back into it but it's different knowing you have time to feel out the rhythm and game to get back up to speed, the mental aspect is different in this case.

The way to get past it is to ease into the game, play a tight first period and hopefully feel the puck early so you can get a good feeling and ease into the game speed and start to get comfortable. What you don't want is to take a penalty 28 seconds into the game against a team with a PP that owns you.

Tl;dr

I’ve never seen a player defended more than Hank. I get it, but it’s exhausting. Excuse after excuse. Why can’t we just accept that he’s on a sharp decline? There’s no getting around that. Age is age. Hank was great. He isn’t any longer.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

laughable rebound control by samsonov in this game

dude looks lost

we could legit have 10 in this game if we weren’t missing left and right

 

[LeetchisGod]

It's Mika's world, we're just living in it.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Ok boys, Lets win this please.

 

[CasusBelli]

Samsonov needs a brain. What do they see in this guy? He can’t read a play to save his life.

 

[NYRKindms]

release the Kakkon

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

The Centaur Brendan Dillon absolutely burned.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

[Fugazy]

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Now let Zib get the EN!

 

[Machinehead]

Yo I was at that game!

 

[lemonybergamot]

Can it be pride night every night

 

[TominNC]

That’s it. Shoot Kakko good stuff happens

 

[NYRangers16]

They won’t us have another. But i’ll take this offscript result.

 

[nyrage]

Mika is a hockey god

 

[Embryo]

This is so huge, our leader is putting us on his back and carrying this team!

 

[LOFIN]

And Kakko with that point LMAO

 

[Zibanejbread]
