Isä ja ex-valmentajat kertovat: Tällainen on Leijonien nuoren supertähden Kaapo Kakon koko upea tarina - katso suloiset kuvat pikku-Kaaposta!

Some stuff about Kaapo from his parents and old coaches.

- He has always been better than others in his age group. He has been playing against older people from juniors

- When he was young, he build shooting area to his yard and was constantly shooting pucks in there.

- He has ring really close to him and you can find him there practically every night just playing around, skating and practising.

- He is very humble and plays for the team. He doesn't like that people praise him. He wants to win for team.

- There was moment last autumn, where TPS didn't have game at saturday night, so Kakko went to TPS A-juniors locker room and asked who wants to come play hockey around 9.00-10.00 p.m. while everyone else were ready to go have some Saturday night fun (probably drinking).

- He is much like Mikko Rantanen. You can say both to them: "Hey there is a game tomorrow, wanna come play?" And they both would go.

- He really really wants and likes to win. He is competitive as ****.

Can't wait to start hating this guy.

Curious how he didn't do an interview on NBC if his English is so good.

No one said it is "so good". It is okay, much better than Puljujärvi's.

 

[Nate070]

Did you see Kakko´s father? Big guy

 

[crowi]

Yep, let's get back to talking about his English. Last thread surely wasn't enough.

A large, large man!

I honestly think it is childish to still be chirping about Hughes and Kakko now that the picks are in.

One thing to go back and forth without knowing, but please just take a couple of days off. I imagine both organizations and their respective fan bases are happy.
