He's not even skating fast in that clip. You can count the number of strides all three of those flyers' players makes in that clip on one hand.

Don't worry, Laf will be that guy as soon as he's traded.

Another goal for Kakko tonight. 8 points in the last 8 games.

my favorite part of this is going to be watching the rongite grumps go through the stages of processing. they're firmly in denial, and will begrudgingly proceed to (r)anger and then borgening. in the end, there will be acceptance that the player who is properly deployed has success.
the true haters, of course, will always deny.

Good thing we sold high on him.

Empty netter, but that too shows that he's being trusted to be on the ice when protecting a lead.

20 min of ice time too. Cursed out the pens after the goal and got a 10 min misconduct. He’s having fun now.

Confidence is a helluva thing. He's hitting more, also got into scuffles vs Buffalo and Detroit... Starting to look more like the Kakko that was drafted 2OA. And yeah, before some people are coming to throw cold water on that, I'm not saying here that this will last and he's now suddenly becoming the player we drafted him to be. It's been 12 games. But he has shown more engagement and swagger in the last 8 of those games than in 5 years with the Rangers.

WAAAAAAA!!!
Dorofeyev with a hat trick of the season. 6 points in last two games. I remember a lot of people wanted him. We totally got Zac Jones instead.
EDIT: to be fair, we could have taken Dorofeyev in the 2nd. Instead we got Matthew Robertson & Karl Hendriksson instead

I've never seen more bellyaching over a third liner than Kakko. Don't worry he'll have his patented 1 point in 15 games stretch soon enough.

Whether or not he continues on this pace, the talk will die down eventually. It was the same thing with Buchnevich for a while.

Guy was never going to be a player here, it doesn't really matter what he does elsewhere.
Glad for him to have professional success.

Meh. It’s done now with Kaapo. Let it go.
The only guarantee is he’ll score in his first game against us. It’s an Alumni tradition.

This guy is really elite at this shit. Some of the comparisons he finds are just crazy. To the point where you’d think the painter was inspired by the sports picture.

Yeah. This wasn't the environment for him, safe to conclude. The coaches and even the other players perhaps. We have to get more intel on how he's meshing in Seattle with other players off the ice.
