All 10 in the last 14, too. People would think he’s playing awesome of there wasn’t the unfair tendency to compare him directly to Kaprizov.

He's been a little snakebite this year and hasn't found much chemistry with his linemates.

Funny that Natural Stat Trick doesn't even consider Zuccarello's goal a high-danger chance.

Ek must've been slacking in the 3rd because Dumba, Brodin, Fiala, and Bjugstad all passed him up in the XGF%

One of these days it'd be nice to give Kahk a shutout.

He really hasn't earned one. He's not out there standing on his head or anything.

He still scares me for some unknown reason. He reminds me of Kuemper even though he clearly doesn't unravel after allowing a goal.

Looks similar in net and/or content with loose pucks around the net maybe.

He reminds me more of Stalock than any other recent Wild goalie. Lots of scrambles.

I think he is more in control with his push offs than Stalock. Kahk looks fast, rather than big in the net. Nice timing to his game...not frenetic, but just fast enough. I do like the way he covers up the puck in scrambles, too. Not sure how good he will be in SO's, but that doesn't matter once you get to playoff hockey anyway.

I am so much happier with our goaltending this year than in recent years.

Kahkonen gonna steal rookie of the year from kaprizov

Watta thief.

I strongly agree with the bolded.
