Kakko f***ing KILLED IT last night and will continue to do so all season!

we kakko stans are magnanimous. all heretics and betrayers are welcome back into the flock.

Did he look as good as the box score indicates?

Edit: and how did pp2 get a goal? Was it in pp garbage time or was top unit out right before pp and needed a break?

Amazing what playing with probably our most underrated player in Fil can do.
He literally can't do shit with any other center but I'm fine with them forming this kind of chemistry

Mika has blown when not playing on the pp, brodz/bonino/Wennberg were offensive black holes.

It’s not like we’ve seen him play with another stud C, ever.

Kakko up to 4 assists, had 6 all of last season. Some bad luck evening out

Mika has blown on the PP too

PP1 miraculously got off after about a minute or so

It would be just our luck if Kakko broke out at the exact point we can't afford him, wouldn't it?

C'est la vie. This year is an all-or-nothing year in my eyes.

And just like that Kakko now has 5 points in the first 6 games of the season and has not been on the ice for an ES goal against (whole line).

Kaako Gretzky... Who else sees it?

This is Kakko finally playing with some confidence. He’s decisive. He’s bulling to the tough areas. He’s pushing back, and looks stronger than almost every dman he engages with. The most visible difference is going to be in his offensive stats. I really believe he hits 50pts. And could even hit 60 if this line continues to play like this and get minutes, or he sees significant pp time (which is less likely). 50-60 points won’t get him a monster contract, but he will be a monster 2 way, 200 foot player. An excellent value.
