RW Kaapo Kakko - TPS, Liiga (2019 Draft) Part 3

[Mountlaine]

22nd goal of season! A new u18 record in Liiga

 

[FinPanda]

Just scored his 22nd goal. Kakko's kakkoskakkos goal

 

[Kaako Kappo]

You could see he really wanted to break that record during these few games.

That's bad ass achievement!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Dude looks like a NHL:er to me.

 

[Mysteric1000]

And there it is!

22 for #24, Barkov's record is no more!

 

[HOPE]

Kakko is a puck possession beast!

I like how he fooled the goalie look to the other side and then he just went other side himself for easy wraparound.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Man Id love this kid on the Canucks. Looks like an immediate impact player

The goalie lost his stick and quit.

 

[FinPanda]

Got also one assist. 22+16 in 45 games. 0.84 PPG as an U18 player. Best since Barkov (also Mi. Granlund ahead).

 

[Kaako Kappo]

22 goals out of which 7 are game winners. Nice. Doesn't necessarily mean much, but nice.

 

[ijuka]

I think that's 19 goals and 27 points in his last 26 games.


Cool trajectory.

 

[Hokinaittii]

The goalie lost his stick and quit.

He was still looking for the puck all the time. He just didn't see which direction Kakko was going behind the net and Kakko immediately used that for his advantage.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Kakko also got an assist on the power play.

 

[Visul]

He was still looking for the puck all the time. He just didn't see which direction Kakko was going behind the net and Kakko immediately used that for his advantage.

Westerholm lost track on Kakko for a blink because Otto Nieminen's stick hit Westerholm right up to the goalie mask. SaiPa rightfully challenged it for goalie interference but for some reason the refs called a good goal.

All I know is that Kakko will look good on a line with MacKinnon and Rantanen.

A few days ago I said he's going to do it, just book it, and so he did (what a goal by the way). Then again, before the season I'd never have expected him to break this record in particular cause he always seemed like a pass first type of a player. I guess after ~half a season with Filppula he realized he needed to do things by himself and evolved a lot offensively. Lately I've been thinking how Kakko seems to have that same drive as Laine did in his respective D year and the will to be a game-changer. He just seems to elevate in each game and hardly ever looks gassed out going into the third period. Quite the contrary actually. He's always hungry for more and more and never giving up. Admirable quality and I hope he never loses that.

Anyway, just wow! Congratz Kakko,! Well earned.

Cool trajectory.

That is crazy way to end up season in a high note. His growth during the season was amazing to watch.
