Player Discussion Kaapo Kakko

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Wrong again

If this is how we determine the value of someone's opinion, I want to play

For me 66, 87 and 97 are also numbers no rookie in the league should even dream of touching. Or if you do, you'd better be pretty darn good.

When Kaapo Kakko skates, he is not propelling himself forward. He is pushing the earth behind him.

 

[Nickmo82]

When is he going to get that ugly number off his back?

I don´t bs around

I think Kakko vs Hughes is a good thing. Rivalries add excitement, competitiveness, stakes. Ovechkin vs Crosby is one the best things to happen to hockey in the 21st century. If you have a problem with rivalries between players perhaps you're just taking it too personal.

Rivalry is fun. The way people behave online is not. It gets very toxic very fast (as it already has)

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I'll gladly have the rivalry rekindle, but not at the expense of listening to the godawful media commentating and trying to sell it.

Hughes is already Crosby 2.0 ... I didn't want to have to hate the kid, but Devils' and media in general left me no choice.

Ahhh, the future D corps saviors of Gilroy, Del Zotto (not a bad player in the end), McIlwrath and Bobby Sanguinetti

Not funny bro.

Kappo Kakko's sweat can cure a variety of mankind's greatest diseases. Too bad no hockey game ever has had to make him sweat.

Oh my lord

It's true.

Legend has it that the sun was about to solar eclipse, but Kaapo Kakko showed up. The sun canceled, afraid of eclipsing a bigger star.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

hasn't done much of anything in 2 games so far tbqh fam

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Hopefully he does not need to wait a week for his next game. Play the kid and let him get used to the pace. Also the troll above me can gtfo.

Have to agree. You can see the skill is there but not much in terms of putting it in to action. May need some patience...

 

[Irishguy42]

Send him back to Liiga, IMO

He could have had 2-3 assists today with the passes. There is no need for "patience". Just lock the lines and let him learn.

 

[will1066]

KK is fine. Not worried. The production will come. What I'm seeing is talent and smarts. Production will be undeniable when you have both.

Well, the letting him learn part is where the patience comes in

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He and Howden don't really mesh well at all.

Give him and Kreider a go with Chytil and see where that gets you.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Despite scoring, other than 1 big shift, Kakko’s line had very little going tonight. That’s to be expected when your line mates are Howden and a 19 year old rookie.

Don’t think he played poorly at all. Won some big puck battles and was close to getting a few points.
