C/W Jesperi Kotkaniemi (2018 - 3rd overall, MTL) Part Four!

why are half the posts in a Kotkaniemi thread about Lundell?

 

[Supersonic]

8 pts in the last 6 games for KK now.

My theory: He comes across as the smug jock while Kotkaneimi has the protagonist smile.

Or the fact that Lundell is overperforming to his draft position and people want to push an I told you so narrative after a dozen games.

have to find someone else to trash KK since Hirvonen isn't doing the job anymore

 

[TheDoldrums]

Wow, he's really putting on a show out there. What a highlight.

This isn't a Hirvonen thread but now that you've brought him up, he seems to be doing pretty well.



Odd to compare a 3rd overall pick to a late 2nd rounder but here we are.

You mean the thread with the Habs fan complaining that Hirvonen was listed as the '1C'?

Don't cry about threads becoming 'Leafs threads' if you're going to bring up Leafs prospects unprovoked. Poor Habs fans. Always persecuted, am I right?

You're the only one comparing. Watching Hirvonen he'll never have any sort of an NHL career. Small perimeter player, sluggish.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Thanks for the in-depth analysis, chief.

Not really surprised to see he has picked it up, some posters here must be getting frustrated with him racking up points.

It was expected that he would start picking up more points, he's still not exactly doing amazing.

Hey man, that guy doesn't have exclusive rights for stating stupid shit.

Where's the comparing? Also read above.

and why wouldnt he be in shape compared to the other players in the league they have all been off the same amount of time. but i wasnt talking about this year at all. i was talking getting 42 points in 115 games in the nhl. thats not a high bar for lundell to jump over.

Two more points today. And his point totals were on par with a guy like Barkov when KK was youngest player in the league. You realize he was injured the entire year last year? Or did that escape you? When he was healthy he was a point a game player and then dominant in the playoffs. But you Know this. Or you’re a hater divorced from factual reality

Nice passing on the PP

Lmao you have no self awareness. Leafs fans are notoriously the biggest crybabies on this board

The only reason this thread is still active is because of Leafs fans hate following Kotkaniemi

No, I don't. Kotkaniemi is a good player. It is also extremely unlikely that a thread would remain open for my benifit.

Kotkaneimi seems like the type of player who turns criticism into strength.

"Have to get stronger" Starts to wreck people with hits
"Needs to produce" Ties team lead in goals in playoffs
"Oh but he has no assists in the playoffs" Starts threading passes like crazy in Finland

Well this is just ridiculous, he only has 8 points in 10 games in Liiga. If he had 15 assists or something that'd make sense, right now he's having a relatively slow start to the season and has been a disappointment.

I get he's your team's 3rd pick but reality is that his last season was atrocious and this one's not started in a promising manner. At this point, looks like a player ruined by having him play in NHL too early.

Ok, we get it. You can't be bothered to watch Liiga, you don't have to keep saying it.

You're right he's ruined at 20. He had one good season at 18. At 19 he got injured twice. I guess kappo kakko is ruined since he will be 20 once the season starts and he has only a 23 point season. Lafreniere will be 19 years old and 5 months. He's definitely a bust since he hasn't even played an NHL game yet. And all prospects who do not have at least a 50 point season in the NHL before the age of 20 are all trash because your logic says so. Idiocy at its finest.

He’s having a relatively slow start? He was held off the scoresheet for 4 games after coming in without a training camp or pre-season. And by all accounts, he wasn’t even bad in those games.

Since he started putting up points 6 games ago, he’s been producing at a clip that’s on-par with the top scorers in the league and hasn’t cooled down since. Relatively slow and disappointing, indeed.

Kotkoniemi reminds me of Sebastien Aho playing-style wise.
