Player Discussion Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Part 17

[DramaticGloveSave]

Or... Both.

Amazing how some people continue to ignore the impact of confidence.

Of course confidence matters, but playing with guys like Byron, Lehkonen, and Armia... not to mention all the time he spent with the likes of Toffoli and Anderson... should be some sort of death sentence.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Really hope that call against KK doesn’t impact him negatively. Was dumb as hell, but if the stick doesn’t break I don’t that’s a penalty.

 

[Ozmodiar]

Got hit right on the numbers. No call

 

[CLW]

Strarts good, scores and just when you think this is his game, he disappears only to reappear with that stupidity which handed the game to Leafs.

At least he is trying. There are a lot of vets out there going through the motions and playing without belief doing their best to be invisible. Unlike KK they are good at it. This team has much bigger problems than one kid, but he's the one that gets thrown to the wolves.

Ducharme is in over his head and should have followed Julien out the door. Bergevin needs to go to but what's the point, who is going to come in with fresh ideas and a new approach? The Habs are stuck in the past.

Absolutely.

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Please trade this guy before the league finds out he’s a 3rd liner.

It's the constant switching, more than who he's played with, that's been so problematic.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

The 4-incher!

 

[Mrb1p]

So, he scores a goal and he stills gets no icetime despite every single players tanking so f***ing hard.

Same old same old. Kotkaniemi is an afterthought and they have no faith in him.

It’s pathetic. This regime is cancerous.

It's sad....

 

[Mrb1p]

The sad thing is that the usual suspect will come in here and blame the player for never doing enough. Joke. A huge joke.

He got benched because he called out the management and coaches with his four finger wave to show support for the guys in the press box.



Well, not really sarcasm. I’m sure DD gave him the ole laser eyes after the goal.

Kotkaniemi: "I scored, Coach!!"

Dum Dom: "Great Job, have a seat at the end of the bench and I'll call you when I want you"

 

[cujo1117]

He played more under Julien

 

[Roadhouse]

It’s pathetic. This regime is cancerous.

*Bergevin is cancerous. I don't doubt the KK-benching directive came upstairs in between periods.

The lazy cross-check at the blue line didn't help KK either though.

If the kid thinks like this, imagine what is said in the room afterwards.

What is wrong with Dom Dom? Geez, the kid starts out strong, and yet.....
Habs had ONE centre who won more face offs than he lost, this is the same centre who scored a goal.

 

[HABS033]

Still has more goals than Mitchy Marner who has as many playoff goals as I do in his last 14

KK is Doms whipping boy .

 

[Puck Luck Run Amok]

I said this before the season and was mercilessly mocked for it.

 

[Puck Luck Run Amok]

Except you would trade KK for Marner in a nano second and would need at least 4 1st round picks coupled with KK to even attempt getting Marner in real life

 

[HABS033]

Yeah who doesn’t want 0 goals from a fugazzi patty kane

Half the bench got limited TOI because 2nd period was spent on the PK.

He started out strong and was immediately upgrade in linemates to Tatar & Gallagher, along with being immediately quick shifted after his goal. KK doesn’t kill penalties - 2nd period flow to the penalty box screwed up the entire rythm and bench usage for Habs

The cross check thing happens a thousand times a game. We just got unlucky with the broken stick.
