Confirmed with Link: Kaapo Kakko signs entry level contract

[KirkAlbuquerque]

An actual NHL team ranked Hughes THIRD.

That’s truly terrifying. Hope to god it wasn’t us (Chicago is a good bet).

Is Brian Burke still in charge of a team?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

1.5 million people were at the last rangers parade...of wager there would be more for the next one.

Of course there will be.

Do you know how many species go extinct between Ranger cups as the world population booms?

lebron james is giving up his # for anthony davis, so boo nieves has no excuse lol

 

[egelband]

How about Admiral Kakkbar?

I still like Heart Attack Kakk Kakk Kakko.

 

[Inferno]

Get used to it. After twelve season some posters here still think that someone named Stall plays D on the Rangers.

They don't. It's autocorrect. It happens with stepan to Stephan too...

Are we supposed to say that as if were singing Movin Out?

Yes! Exactly

 

[One Winged Angel]

Krieder, Stall, McDonough, Skeji, Lundquist, Zibenejad, Vessey, Stephan, Kravstov, Kappo, Hayek, Straalman. Where does it end?

Selma Hayek will be a really good Ranger.

Allahu Kakkbar

 

[Machinehead]

I've had my differences with Hughes, let's say, and even I had him so far ahead of 3rd that he was in a different dimension.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Who is Kappo?

That would be me.

 

[GAGLine]

You said it yourself. Double a, double k. Now you can spell it every time.

It always amazes me how it's even possible for English-speakers to struggle with 5-letter names. Ridiculous.

It's a lack of attention to detail. My name is Brian. You have no idea how often people spell it as Brain. My 5th grade teach gave us all pencils for Christmas with our names on them. Mine said Brain. I'm sure it was the fault of whoever made them, but still.

Micheal Ferland and Micheal Haley decided to run with it

Every time I spell Kaapo Kakko out loud, I think I’m doing Jeff Jarrett promo...

K-Double A-P-O, K-A-Double K-O!

Follow it by a little strut and give somebody The Stroke after and raise the belt in the air after the pin!

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

It helps if you pronounce it the Finnish way.

Kaah-Poe Kak-Koh

That reminds me of Gilligan's Island.

G-I-Double L-I-G-A-N spells Gilligan.

 

[Kupo]

M-E-T-H-O-D MAN.

That's all I got.

 

[nyr2k2]

IDK what the big deal is, on spelling or pronunciation. Most of the posters here speak English and only English. Aa and kk are not letter combinations you see in English, and people will screw it up for a while until they get used to it. Who f***ing cares.

 

[Thirty One]

Wish we drafted someone else now. This is annoying.

I don't know why we're worried about this when the solution is so obvious. They share the number and both have BOO-KAKKO on their jersey. Done.

Torture motha f***a

We'd have people spelling Jack Hughs.

Actually in Finland it's pronounced "Kaapo Kakko". We don't have to wonder how words are pronounced in Finnish. They are pronounced the way they are written. When you hear a word, you know how it's spelled. It's pretty simple and logical. That's why we don't need spelling bees either.

Mod: Let's not

As someone who visits Finland regularly, and talks to Finns on a daily basis in my profession I can honestly say that words aren't simply "pronounced the way they are written"
