GDT: Game 20: 11/27, New York Rangers vs Buffalo Sabres, 7pm ET, MSG

[GoAwayPanarin]

Please, rewind that last goal and tell me if you've ever seen an NHL defenseman handle his own zone the way KAM played that.

Bats the puck into nowhere, turnover.

Keeps a guy without the puck, who's not a scoring threat, pinned behind the net.

Circles out by the boards, lets the opposition forward get inside position but just in case, tried to defend him with one hand on his stick.
Because you can do that in the best league in the world.

This motherf***er should be watching the next game from the f***ing roof.

But he won't miss a shift.

Oh, yeah, see you next season Kakko. That looked bad.

Where do you think Lindgren should be watching the game from then? A blimp?

Because his mistake earlier was like 2309230230923203 times more egregious and he's made a f*** load more of them this year than Miller has.

Pain free doesn't equal healthy.

This also ignores that he has sucked for a while even before he got hurt.

Well he has surgery to fix the issue not mask pain. So if he’s healthy he’s healthy. Is he as explosive that’s the question.

Hard not to be an upgrade on Kakko though

 

[Larrybiv]

It will be Brodz

And honestly, what I have seen from Brodz, he does many of the things KK does (maybe not as well) , but I will say that is SEEMS that he creates just a little bit more than KK does. Again,bI might be wrong, but it is NOT a bad thing to give minutes to someone else, it creates depth and competition.

 

[duhmetreE]

Kreider-mika-wheeler has 1 SOG

f***ing losers.

Mika back to being dog water

 

[egelband]

Not yet. He is good transitioning the puck out of zone but is pretty brutal in own zone

Sounds like Miller.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Has anyone else been having problems trying to watch games on the MSG app? It keeps telling me I have to log in with my cable provider. I do and it keeps saying wrong info but it’s not. I had to f***ing pay $10 just to watch on the app. I bet they’re doing this shit on purpose.

Kane with a healthy hip would not in any way make us worse.

Wouldn't make us better.

 

[effen]

Injuries are why you signed a bunch of middling pluggers like Blidh and Riley Nash.

They're gonna use their farm. Not like Kakko produced anything anyways. Definitely not Kane.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He'll nuke who ever he plays with defensively 5v5 and will suck the life out of PP1.

Thats a pretty poor impact.

If you’ve been watching kakko he’s been manhandled in the corners all year. Total opposite of last season. Coming into the year out of shape usually leads to injuries. Feel for the kid. His career is about to very much be in the wind. How does he bounce back? Wont be making any money next year that’s for sure.

Come on man... Kakko had a fantastic preseason and looked amazing up until the season started.

It's not conditioning. He got unlucky. It happens in contact sports.

 

[Tob]

This is the serendipitous turn of events that's going to lead them to the undiagnosed borderline on-ice mental Pejorative Sluration Kakko has been suffering from and get him the right blend of lithium to turn him into a 30-30-60 winger.

 

[SML2]

Not to sound too "Alex Jones-y" on these boards but this is truly sick.

Kids beat cancer, Rangers lay an egg so it can metastasize, have some quack laugh about it on TV.

This is like that veteran in Canada asking about his check being late and they offered euthanasia.

Giving that legal smoke a taste, huh? This post reminds me of Dennis Miller on Monday night Football.

 

[Beerz]

Sounds like Miller.

That's a pretty apt comparison

 

[Row I Goon]

Hopefully there’s a silver lining…..and a speedy recovery for KK

disagree. he’s been hot garbage his entire career. the good news is we’re not missing much from the injury. any plug in can replicate what kakko brought. hopefully for his sake he can revive his career in europe.

 

[AirGut]

I don't have any words

 

[Cmox]

well, their faceoffs look great...

 

[will1066]

I don't know about you, but I am eagerly waiting on egg shells for avgard's Kakko reax.

 

[effen]

Rangers gonna QO Kakko and he's gonna go back to Finland for a year or two and come back. Book it.

 

[duhmetreE]

people said Boston was a good 'test'...

this 3rd would be my 'test'

 

[BowB4Bolts]

I should remind everyone that despite the obscenely high number of Ks in his name, Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen low key sucks.

Yeah, you should get a penalty for that name.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

For the time being I'm guessing Vesey bumps up to where Kakko is and I'm guessing they re call one of the Hartford guys for the 4th line.

 

[effen]

Eh, they're due to not come back. Just one of those games.

What I hope is Lav bag skates them.

I laughed out loud, a belly laugh! Love it!

 

[duhmetreE]

If I'm remembering right, Kakko's injury looked a lot like Reaves a couple years back... it wasn't anything major
