GDT: Group A - May 16 - Finland vs Denmark

[ijuka]

Dear Finns, do you think Finland would reach the quarterfinal without Kakko? I'm glad for Finland but it seems to me they depend too much on him.

I think Finland's scored like 2 goals this tournament without Kakko on the ice.

It doesn't seem to much matter what roster Finland has. The less there is prime talent, that much more there are Liiga guys seizing the opportunity they got and executing their system play.

Without him we would be on the verge of elimination and might even get relegated, with him there is an actual change for a medal.

Kakko reminds me of a better version of W. Nylander.

Yeah, two.

 

[ijuka]

Real smart penalty again.

[FinPanda]

Well that was a total accident but stupid penalty at the same time

 

[ijuka]

Kakko reminds me of a better version of W. Nylander.

What? Nylander is a perimeter player and avoids physical confrontation, that's not a good comparable at all.

 

[ijuka]

Wayne Gretzky

Well, his club team's head coach called Kakko "gretzky-like" so there's that.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Should’ve been a penalty on the goalie. Awful reffing so far, almost thought I was watching the Stanley Cup playoffs for a sec

 

[Periwinkle]

Thumbs up for Ievan Polkka.

 

[matsqq]

Lol crowded goal crease

 

[Star Ocean]

What part of better version didnt you read? A better version is etc physical.

Aaaaaaaand..... another game won for the Team Finland by Kaapo Kakko, 18 yo, TPS Turku, Finland.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

General manager Shero said yesterday that they can’t imagine nobody else than Hughes...

Source??

 

[ijuka]

What part of better version didnt you read? A better version is etc physical.

And a completely different different play style.

 

[Finnswiss]

As I co

Aaaaaaaand..... another game won for the Team Finland by Kaapo Kakko, 18 yo, TPS Turku, Finland.

What would Finland do without him?

 

[Nate070]

Clearly not a team player, I think he might fall out of the top 10 now.

Becomes an undrafted bust

 

[FVM]

Kaapo Kakko show delivered again. All is well in the kingdom. Good night.

 

[Snowsii]

Finland 2011, we had Tuomo Ruutu and Mikko Koivu but those don't really count for much. Granlund was still a junior, rest even I can't remember.

You cant remember pillu?? You aint Finnish if you dont remember him

 

[Star Ocean]

And a completely different different play style.

They protect the puck on the stick the same way. But before you lose it, kakko is 10x better than nylander.

 

[Lambo]

Kakkoland vs Denmark 3:1

 

[1OApick]

I didn't check Kakkos icetime but they should let him play more. Why they are third line to ice?

 

[FiLe]

You cant remember pillu??

It's hard to remember because it's been a while.
