Player Discussion Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Part 18

[Miller Time]

He won't get an assist on this, but he creates this play... Yet some stay line watching critics will still be crying about his "no assists" tomorrow

He got the assist
And it was a great pass.

KK and Anderson had a bad game. But the finish cancels out

 

[BLONG7]

Kid is money...........what a pass to Anderson....and Byron, wow...

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

I don't know. I liked the way KK was throwing his weight around this game. I didn't think he was that bad. Hands up/shoulder shrug emoji

He's young and raw playing arguably the most deep/physical team in the NHL. For me, he just needs to show flashes. The rest will come in time with strength.

There's a ton of warts there but yeah he's still making things happen.

not from me, he was solid tonight. I thought
He sucked last game and we had the usual people saying he was amazing and others saying he was thrash.

but today, kid did so many little plays. Great game

kid has been physical all series. he's just inconsistent with making plays on his stick with little time and space. It is what it is. he still gets those 2 game-winning assists

Reverse jinx was successful wooooo

yeah there's just a lot to build off. Suzuki and CC are spoiling us with how good they are this young. And it's not like KK's shown nothing. I mean it just seems impossible to me that KK can't still improve DRASTICALLY as he grows.

 

[montreal]

10 pts in his NHL playoff career, still just 20 years old.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

This guy is clutch, he looked awkward the whole game and managed to make that beautiful mid-air pass to Andy.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

impressive playoff consistency

 

[KevSkillz4]

We have already a really good 1C with Suzuki.

So we can easily be patient with KK and he is going to be the guy we drafted at #3. No doubt about that, he is only 20 years old. Not 26 years old like Drouin.

 

[sandviper]

To the usual haters who’ll probably find something to complain about…

Game summary: TWO BS penalties on him and he fires a great pass up the middle for the OT winner. So GTFO!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Great production from him and it always seems to come when we really need it. f***ing awesome!

Look at Gabe Vilardi in LA. 21 and just getting in this year. Still hasn’t established himself yet but nobody is writing him off.

How many points for ''Brady Caveman Tkachuk'' ?

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

It's a shame that he hasn't been the beast he was last year against Philly but I just think the competition's been a lot better. Nice that he gets both of those experiences going forward.

 

[azcanuck]

Most of the game falling down all over the place, barely had the puck and took two penalties.

But nice saucer pass to Anderson.

I think you and Skip Bayless are the same person and you've somehow monetized shitting on a 20 y/0

Brady would pull some undisciplined crap and we'd be out in round 1, don't @ me!!!!

Try watching the game next time... Instead of the highlight reel

Vegas was always going to be tough. They dummied us tonight and we came back with an improbable win. Our kids just keep producing when we need it. KK in game 6 vs TO. Caufield, Suzuki... then KK sets up the play tonight. It's awesome to see. These guys are learning what it takes to win.

It's gonna be a rough series though. There's no doubt KK's struggled in the past few games. But I'd say that goes for most of our lineup.
