I hate his guts, and I’m so happy he’s looking like a complete bustaroo. That’s all the better for us, right? I mean the more young players on other teams that bustaroo the better chance we have of winning right? 8 minutes ago, Alflives said: Seriously, don’t strawman. Krappo is a bustaroo. Accept it. Guy is a friggin’ minus 11 in 15 games! He’s heading for a record minus 60! The Rags are ruining the kid. Send him to the AHL where he belongs, or he’s going to be another Poolparty. I couldn't give a rat's tiny butthole whether Kakko makes it in the NHL or not. My point is that you are judging him far too soon while also using a statistic that he doesn't have full control over. He may become a bust or his play may pick up as the year goes on. Sam Reinhart started out slow but has improved every year. It could turn out to be the same with Kakko. Like I said, if it were up to me I would have left him in the Liiga for another year but I understand why the Rangers didn't. *edit* Just caught your edited add-on. I hire a company to do my snow removal so I don't have to bother with it. Also, it hasn't snowed yet where I live.

I’m happy about it, as all fans (who aren’t Rags fans) should be. Kakko looks slow, weak, and completely lost. Still say Podkolzin, our pick, will prove (like Pettersson and Hughes) to be the best players in their drafts. Because I’m a Canuck’s fan on a Canuck’s board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ambivalent when it comes to the Rangers. I neither like nor dislike them. Them winning or losing doesn't matter to me one way or the other unless they're competing with the Sabres for a playoff spot. That hasn't been an issue for a decade or more considering the Sabres have sucked for the last 8 years. Quote I’m happy about it, as all fans (who aren’t Rags fans) should be. Kakko looks slow, weak, and completely lost. The only time that it matters to the Canucks how the Rangers do is when they play them twice a year. The rest of the time, it doesn't matter how they do as far as Vancouver is concerned. Quote Still say Podkolzin, our pick, will prove (like Pettersson and Hughes) to be the best players in their drafts. Like I said after he was picked, the Canucks made a great choice with Podkolzin. It's a tad premature though to say he'll be the best player from the draft. Quote Because I’m a Canuck’s fan on a Canuck’s board! That's all well and good, but what does being a Canucks fan have to do with anything when it comes to a team that the Canucks aren't competing for a playoff spot with. If the Rangers suddenly started tearing up the league and rose in the ranks, it would have zero impact on the Canucks' playoff chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be a fence sitter. Gotta hate them all, or is one a true fan of their team? Krappo being a bustaroo is good for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the difference between us. I'd rather my teams win on their own merits and not just because they're playing lousy teams. For instance, the Buffalo Bills are 6-2, but I would be lying if I said it was fully satisfying because the 6 teams that they beat were terrible teams and the two teams that they lost to are recent Super Bowl Champions. If the Canucks and the Sabres go to the playoffs this year I would prefer that they both do it while beating some of the best teams in the league and not just beating other teams because the competition turned out to be, as you would say, a bunch of "bustaroos". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care how we win, just so long as we do. I hate all the other teams, starting with the Loser Leafs and the Friggin’ Flames. I cheer for the Bills too. Still hate Scott Norwood. Kelley and Smith, Thomas and all those guys deserved at least one Super Bowl. Edited November 7, 2019 by Alflives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Pacells and Bill Belichick just had a far superior plan that day and the Giants executed it. I skipped high school classes that day to go downtown and cheer for him and the rest of the team when they got back after losing to the Giants. https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-01-29-9101090317-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwipeout Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 If i had Kakko on a team thats pretty much were Nucks were last year id simply put him on the first line, Panarin-Zibanejas-Kakko and let the kid play as many minutes as possible. Jack Hughes: 3G 4A -6 on 13gp Kaapo Kakko 3G 2A -11 on 13gp those 2 will both be top 2 lines material but both need icetime and confidence.

They need ice time in the minors to both physically mature, and learn how to play without the puck. Although I do believe Jack is far ahead of Kakko, I think they both should be sent down.

Being a Canucks fan doesnt mean wishing ill towards other teams or on young kids trying to fulfill their dreams or hoping for all other teams prospects bust. Its completely ok to be a fan of hockey as well as the Canucks. I'd personally like to see as much talent in the league as possible, an as much parity as possible, but for the Canucks to still end up on top. Every year. Forever. Nothing wrong with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
