Player Discussion Kaapo Kakko

[NickyFotiu]

I'm hoping watching the game from the press box and other places helped slow the game down for Kakko. Great to see him produce.

Team is 5th in the league in CF% , 7th in xG% since the deadline and yet we're trying to blow up all the lines for some reason

This to me is the (theoertical) key: Chytil is a puck transporter, which Kakko is not (he wasn't even in Turku), Kakko should be great at posession down low and getting to the net. He also could bring some defensive awareness to the duo. On paper, they should work.

And you would think Laf on the other side would compliment them. If he brings his physical play.

I'd prefer to see:

Panarin-Copp-Kaako
Kreider-Zibanejad-Vatrano
Lafreniere-Strome-Chytil
Hunt-Goodrow-Rooney

But we'll never see the breakup of Strome/Panarin. In saying that, that's playing the teams best 4 centers they have

Would love to see that and you are on the money

I mean I know the Strome / Panarin combo is “unbreakable” but it doesn’t have to be.

I was watching Copp last night and thinking how great he would be with Kakko.

Adding Strome with Laf is intriguing and the way Chytil is going that might be a stronger line than we think.

Motte in for Hunt and that’s a really deep lineup

When a line that has a kid on it is working and gets broken up it's the end of the world.

My math might be off but I think being 5th and 7th means there are 4 and 6 teams better than us.

I second this, would love to see GG try this at some point with the remaining regular season games.

Jesus Christ please be nothing. Waited too long to get him back.

"Hi, Chris Drury. Hi, everybody on the phone! It's Kaapo again? Ok, bring him over and let me take a look. Oh, last time when I said Kakko would heal in 3 weeks, I meant three months. It's just an estimate, you know?"

He may or may not live

Clip of his shift from @TheGortonConspiracy

GDT: - Game #76 - red wings @ RANGERS | MSG | 12:30PM (90 Day Fiancé Edition)

Actually after rewatching that definitely wasn't as bad as Reaves, more awkward if anything. I wouldn't rule out them sitting him the rest of the game as a precaution and he'll be good for the week. It looked fairly innocuous but with his luck, he'll be an amputee by this time tomorrow.

I mean he looks a little off, but he got up quick and didn’t just skate to the bench. Hopefully it’s minor

 

[will1066]

Phone battery at 24%. Heal, Kakko, heal!

 

[Kords]

None of this means anything really, but if his season was over maybe he wouldn't be out drinking a glass of wine wearing cool sunglasses in doors? Or maybe he would be, idk i'm not a doctor.

Laf with 2 goals and Kakko out with 4 hot blondes?

Yesterday was the worst day of EdJovos life.

I only see two smoking hot blondes in this one.

 

[Crease]

At a restaurant with a glass of wine, pretty scandalous stuff.

 

[tomobson]

Hopefully he's fine. We need the Chytil Kakko duo for the playoffs. Laf should step into the LW spot on that line as well.

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Imagine if we've got Laf Chytl Kakko scoring goals and Goodrow on line 4. This is a scary team.

I think Kaapo should give Elton John the sunglasses he borrowed back.

Dude is from Finland. I suppose he can easily handle his drink.

Just got a phone notification that Kakko is "week-to-week"... Not good...

 

[DialUp]

Last time it was day to day he was out 3 months. Week to week? Goodness
