Dunny Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hughes is a long, long, long way ahead of Kakko at this point. All the 1A 1B talk seems pretty silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'd say it's more one guy can skate and shoot and the other guy can't, but OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Well no, but, we really have no idea. All kinds of #2 picks bust. I'm not saying this is the case, and bust is reletive in this context, but of all teams I don't think the Rangers would be immune to such awful luck. I'm not saying Kappo Kakko is a bust, no, but I was also led to believe this wasn't a guy that was going to spend 150 games figuring it out, like Barkov, or multiple examples. I'm a little raw because I just went through this with Vladdy Jr. is my feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK just looks slow and nothing happens when he has the puck at ES. Hopefully he turns a corner. Everyone can't play with Pan+Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hughes is a long, long, long way ahead of Kakko at this point. All the 1A 1B talk seems pretty silly. It was pretty obvious Hughes' elite skating was going to help him more in today's NHL. The Rangers fan hype machine got going with this narrative that Kakko was better and they would "rather have Kakko anyway" because we didn't get the #1 pick. Expectations have been unrealistically high as a result. It was obvious to me, and most, just by watching tape how much better a prospect Hughes was and how his special talents would benefit more in today's NHL than Kakko's. None of this is an indictment of Kakko. I love him and his game, and happy he is a Ranger. He's going to be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Brian Boyle snipe in EDM/FLA game. It was really nice to watch his full shift there at both ends of the ice. EDM getting lit up. 3-0 now. Smith injured in the first, wonder if it's lingering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 PIT is absolutely killing it tonight. This team continues to roll despite Malkin out. BOS rolling all over SJS tonight as well. And what the hell has gotten into John Carlson? Unreal season he's having, 2G tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenrikVIII Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 So, I'm very new to hockey and I have a question I'm embarrassed to ask. Does a RHD play on the left side of the rink, or the right? I'm guessing the left, since his dominant hand will be away from the wall? Not trolling here, I truly don't know...go easy on me guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 can play either side but preferred to play on the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
