Those dipsh!ts tried arguing for years that Richter was better than Marty lmfao. They’re the stupidest fan base in any sport on any planet in the universe.
-
In 10 years, as dumb as Ranger fans are, even they won’t think it’ll even be close enough to argue it. That’s not just my opinion but the opinion of every scouting service.
-
I was at the game.... left after the 10th though, so I missed the game winning dinger.
-
It’s easier just to tell a Rag fan to fvck off than actually listen to whatever drivel they try to convince you of.... I highly recommend it.

Nido with the GW HR. Would’ve been a killer had they lost...still obviously not in great shape, but they’re hanging on for the moment.

Why don't you stop putting words in my mouth? lol I never said Kakko was close to Ovechkin. I said Hughes and Kakko will forever be compared to each others because of the Rangers/Devils rivalry. Just like the Ovechkin vs Crosby thing. But hey if you really think in 10 years Rangers fans won't be arguing and making arguments to suggest Kakko was the better player out of the 2, no matter how it went. Good for you pal, good for you.

Maybe it was the clip selection, but that was among the most impressive Hughes videos I have seen. Some of the things he pulled off against better competition show that Hughes is a future NHL star. He's McDavid-like all throughout this video. It isn't just the speed, it's the vision, anticipation, and top notch passing. It's great to see that he's so proficient in both the north-south and the east-west directions. He needs to work on his shot, much like Nico had to (and Nico has come a long way in that regard). Once he does, he will score a lot of goals. 2:04 and 2:28 show just how amazing Hughes will be. I also think one of the reasons that Hughes put up so few points is that Kreider didn't finish any of his feeds - Kreider wanted Kakko to look better in this tournament.

Really surprised the Russians came up short. Thought they were the best team in the tournament by far. Them and the Czechs for bronze tomorrow. Guess I’ll root for Canada over Finland because of Severson. And I don’t want Kakko to win gold.
-
It wasn't a lousy draw. The US were 4th in their group and consequently got the 1st place team from the other group Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

When I watch any of Hughes' 2018-19 highlights I always try to take into account that he's playing against amateurs. Many of his points came against USHL players too rather than NCAA players. So, obviously when he dances around opponents, it isn't necessarily a sign that such skills will translate to the NHL level. After all, watch Zacha's Sarnia highlights. That said, obviously I'm a big proponent of drafting Hughes and that's because there are some parts of his game that are amazing regardless of the competition he's playing against. In my view, the most noteworthy and unique skill Kakko has is his ability to possess the puck down low. He's incredible in that regard. But with Hughes, what stands out as significant in his amateur highlights is how quickly he changes directions and accelerates. He does it at superhuman speeds. It's been said a million times but I don't think there's anyone who can compete with his edges. And it seems to me that none of his puckwork falls behind at speed.
-
Agreed. I love the idea of putting Zacha on his wing and telling him to just shoot the f’ing puck.
-
Kakko is nowhere close to Ovechkin so just stop. Hughes on the other hand is closer to generational than KK. Also, no one outside of DC would argue that Ovechkin has been the better all around player than Crosby. This has always been the Jack Hughes draft. NOBODY before the WC would have mentioned KK in any generational conversation.
-
Absolutely. The fun thing with a guy like him is he makes other players better. This is the kind of guy who could do wonders for a guy like Zacha assuming Zacha slides to wing. A power play with Hall, Nico, Palms, Hughes, and Severson would be fun to watch as well. I think they would really up each others games.
-
You're right.
-
How about him on the same line as Bratt (another wizard with the puck)?
-
Who cares..... remind them they’ve won one Cup since the invention of the telephone and move on with your life.
-
Your first mistake is being part of a stupid Facebook group.... those are dipsh!t central.
-
Wow. The way he ends up with the puck so often is really incredible. And all those missed chances from his beautiful feeds will fit right in here!!! I kid, I kid. Watching him set up Hall or Palms is gonna be magic.
-
Fake news. Kakko scored a goal against Team Ethiopia and two empty netters early in the tournament. That usurps every single scouting report because Kakko already plays against men and Hughes clearly didn’t have a good meaningless tournament because he only had three points.
-
no matter who is selected first overall people are going to bitch as soon as they see the 2nd overall having any type of success. for those of us that are part of the devils all day all night FB group, brace yourselves

You just want to hear both Cangy and Dano completely butcher(no pun intended) that name on the air.
-
Ugh. I can just imagine it happening, too. We will have a bunch of "I told you so's" from various fans(mainly Finnish fans) on twitter or other boards(don't know about this board, though), and Rangers fans out there would be saying "Thanks for Kakko" to Devils fans. Bah.
-
fvck me ..... he`s amazing .... skates so well at high speed. hes only 18... this kid is going to be a super star
