Around the NHL: Part XLIV 2025)

So after all the histrionics, Kakko has scored

1 point per 28 minutes on ice with NYR this season
1 point per 27 minutes on the ice with Seattle.

Last season, a down year, he scores 1 point per 42 minutes.

His good year, where he hit 40 points, he scores 1 point per 31 minutes.

The guy is an unspectacular middle 6 winger. Not a bad hockey player! But I'd be shocked if he ever turned into a bona fide offensive option.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but it appeared to me that after playing KK on the PP1 for months the Seattle coach may have taken KK off the PP1 in the last 2 games.

Baffling that they haven't even considered going back to 1-8. Maybe when Bettman retires.

I don’t get why ESPN or TNT haven’t complained to Bettman on it. Sure, the 1st round ratings are good as a result. But, it really hampers 2nd and 3rd round numbers. My guess is that the PA will push for it in the new CBA in exchange for something.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Four games that are surprisingly irrelevant to us tonight.

Minnesota over New Jersey, I guess. Keep that dream alive for a while longer.

For those of us who want 14OA or later, Colorado over Calgary would be helpful. Vice versa for the people who want to try to get up to 9th or 10th OA.

I honestly can’t believe we’re at worst only 2 points out of the last WC spot, and at best, in the last WC spot. Our schedule definitely gets tougher, but man does the lower half of the East suck

I know some think we’d have ruined Crosby and McDavid, but honestly it’s shit luck we picked the consensus choice at the time and get 2 OA Mister Vanilla Adequate 2nd Liner Great 3rd Liner, and then at 1 OA Mister My Greatest Skill Is looking 30 When I’m 20

At least they're better than Brendl and Lundmark, but not much considering the higher draft position.

OMG when draft people and the media brought up Bossy when speaking about Brendl I could not wait! I thought it would be so cool to have our own Bossy.

And now gotta wait a few more decades to get a 1 oa lol i hope that pick doesn't last a lifetime.

I was so stoked on that draft. I was also young and naive to the horrors that are following this franchise.

As bad as that was for us, I think the Piles had 4 or 5 1st rounders picks that year lol

unless he takes a Nichuskin type turn when he's a little older

Protas is having a ridiculous season

59 Even strength points and a +40.

Hes.... probably not going to continue shooting 22%.

so f***ing sad

Hawks hiding Dickinson after the hit is one of the more chicken shit things I’ve seen in this sport.

Too bad they don’t play again this year.

Really sucks , this could be it for his career. Hopefully not.

What's with the name change? Did you lose a bet to the real @hangman005 ?
