Player Discussion Jesperi Kotkaniemi - (On Loan to Liiga)

[Hannibal]

Reading other people in the last few posts, seems like you watched a different game.

The Bustaniemi was sarcastic because he had no point.

And the second one is a concerned i have! Hope KK will live up to the potential!

As long as hes getting reps its alllll good baby, keep the engine going

So KK was the best player, team still lose 6-1.

Getting the Carey Price treatment I see.

 

[Big Empty]

KK should definitely switch to 93 full time if his Liiga stint goes well. I have his current Habs jersey but maybe he would re-crest it for everyone like William Nylander lol.



would be so nasty

 

[admiralcadillac]

I think this game is a definitive statement as to his bustosity. Off the charts bustential.

The bust is strong in this one

I was at the game. I'm not sure I'd say he was the best player but he was good to say the least.


The final numbers don't tell the entire truth. Ässät had more good scoring chances than probably in any other game this season, but sadly (and somewhat unsurprisingly), couldn't finish for the life of them. Lukko didn't even have that many good chances, but they were dominantly clinical (as they have been this season). The better team won for sure, but it's not like Ässät sucked.

KK lookin good honestly

Looking huge

Finally moving away from his puny frame. Starting to look more and more thick. Good to see this.

Damn, I thought he peaked physically at 18...

 

[Hannibal]

He looks big!

 

[Deebs]

Not sure if it's the jersey or what but he looks significantly thicker. Hope they show a few future Liiga games

Teenager grows into his body as he ages...We will have more on this developing story at 11!

Tell that to Ribeiro.

 

[Skip Bayless]

His build reminds me of Getzlaf, I wouldn't be surprised if he grew an extra inch since two years ago.

Same baby face though

 

[montreal]

kids going to be a beast, that's why I say I only care about how the Habs handle him, Suzuki and Romanov this year. We finally have not one but 2 possible high skilled centers, where all the talk used to be we only go as far as Price takes us but no there's hope that we might have a sick 1-2 punch down the middle.

As much as I can't stand Molson, MB and Julien, there's certainly finally something to be excited about for the future in Suzuki/Kotka plus whatever we get from Romanov, Caufield, Norlinder, Primeau, Guhle, etc...

It's the advertisement on the jerseys that makes the players look bigger

 

[CauZuki]

I think you meant 13, he was never the same after that injury where he almost died...

 

[CauZuki]

He's following a similar growth pattern to Kopitar imo...Should be a fun player to watch in the coming years.

Kopitar is thicc as f*** too. Huge booty on that dude

Nick Backstrom too

 

[Jpageman]

The more i see kk’s game now the more i think he should be playing with Anderson.
Lot more hitting to his game.

KK and Anderson could be a really poor mans style of play only Getzlaf/Perry

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

KK is looking less like a playmaker and more like a scoring/hitting Centerman.

In that case it would be wise to put a playmaking winger on his line.

I like KK but I don't know where this hyper physical play came from. Was this the coaching staffs doing? Is that what they expect from him?

He came in the PO's scored 4 goals, No assists and hit everything that moves.

It was very different from his rookie year.

Hopefully he doesn't get confused and just plays his game.

I see a 3rd line of Byron - KK - Tofolli
To start the year.

Maybe Anderson switched with TT at some point.
But I don't see Lehky on his left though.

That's a sweet ass jersey man
