Sup John I agree I think kakko is going to come back stronger and refreshed and the team is doing good , good vibes I think it will turn out to be a blessing in disguise
Have you ever heard Kakko in interviews I disagree 100% that he seems like a team first guy he seems like all he cares about is his minutes and his personal play
Kakko thinks he’s mikko rantenen but he’s not even remotely close to that caliber of player
I hope your right in terms of that I hope Kakko starts putting team success above his own
Ah, the 94 team, I definitely hold each of those guys in high regard. I was 15 years old and enjoying every moment of that run. June 14th 1994 will always be a top day of my life. I still tear up and get chills watching the footage. I thought 2014 was going to finally be the next one, but alas, it wasn't. 3 damn wins short.
Just shows how hard it is to win the Cup. You gotta have the management, the coaching, the talent, the commitment and the hunger for it.
Too early to start getting crazy, but let's hope this year turns into something really special. Almost at the half way point and it's been pretty amazing so far. Long road ahead…
Let's. Fucking. Go. Rangers.
You are spot on this injury may be good for both him and the team.
He's essentially a defensive forward. Offensively doesn't bring anything. Doesn't have the knack
The injury shields him from further criticism of his play.
I was skeptical about he, Chytil, and Lafreniere being moved into top-6 roles, as I thought they had yet to earn them. So far, nothing has proven that assertion to be incorrect, even with Lafreniere playing better (I guess).
Kakko doesn't have it , how many times can you remember kakko being the best player on ice in any game ? Hes not a dynamic player. Its time to start shopping him around we can get what he produces in numbers cheaper .
Kaapo is going to come back and dominate in divisional play. Just wait until the 'offs and No. 24 lets it all hang out.
