Twitter seems to be having issues. My DMs are not coming through

Kakko saying "Someone is wearing my jersey" hahaha

Kakko: "Oh god theres that weirdo again..."

Kakko saying "Someone is wearing my jersey" hahaha

I think everybody on HFNYR knew exactly who he meant. Loved it!

Would be cool if they showed it. They filmed us together as we were posing with the banner. Maybe when they release a Kakko only documentary

So i guess Kaapo is back in Finland now? Resting up and then starts the summer training.. When is he back on ice?

That depends. If he signs his ELC, it will probably be mid August, if he doesn't and stays in Finland, closer to late July

 

[NYRangers88]

Still no confirmed number for him, right? Waiting to get my jersey

You have to wait for the day they sign him atleast.

Hughes is unbelievably punchable.

Kakko is just straight cool.

While I agree on Hughes and his goofiness, Kaako's "my hair look funny" and his nervousness rubbed me a little. Guess he's a man on a mission and a perfectionist.

Watch at 13:21

Chad Kakko vs. Virgin Hughes.

Can't wait.

Really?

Kakko looked like a kid that was not allowed to be part of a group project in primary school. All I care about is how he does for the Rangers. He will be fine

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Really?

Yes, really. Don't worry though, I don't plan on hanging out with Kakko 24/7 so I couldn't care less about his personality at this moment.

I'm with AK, all I care about is how he plays for us and yes, he will be fine.

Kakko saying "Someone is wearing my jersey" hahaha

The translation is a bit off. What he actually said was "somebody's rocking my jersey".

Even better!

New quote for your signature?

I need to trim that shit. Too many in there already

At around 15:55 they've only translated Kakko's dad's comments. Kaapo chips in too there, saying "mulle ihan sama". That means "I don't give a toss which team picks me".

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Wow it's a nice city

 

[Harbour Dog]

If I had to describe Kakko with a single word, it would be 'driven'.

That desire, in that frame, with that skill. You just get the sense that all he ever sees in front of him are goals to be conquered.

As pure of a hockey player as they come. It's almost like they built him in a lab and programmed him with a mishmash of skills from 50 different hockey players

Well, Kaapo Kakko sounds more like a project than an actual name so you may be on to something
