Most players in Kakko's position behind the net would immediately pass the puck out front to try and get the shot off quick... but Kakko actually holds on to the puck about a second longer to draw in all four defenders (and the goalie) and leave Chytil wide open. Incredible hockey sense that probably comes naturally to him. 2nd overall for a reason.
Nor was I, even as a Rangers fan! A long rest like Tampa had can be a blessing and a curse. Allows for a lot of rest, but at the same time there's gonna be some rust. In this game's case, a lot of it. Game 2 will likely be closer, but the Rangers are putting the Bolts on notice.
It's funny vancouver could've gotten Filip Chytil in a fair trade package for Miller but it wasn't good enough for their fans or rutherford. Their loss, looks like he's turning into an absolute beauty.
That long rest between series is really showing itself in Tampa's play. It's like they're wearing cement skates out there. And getting caught WATCHING a good hockey game.
@@rwa2play agreed; no matter the result of this series, this run has been a huge teachable moment for him, Kaako, and Chytil. A playoff goal, in must win games, is much more valuable than dropping 4 on some lottery team in February. I think that this run will lead to better regular season numbers, too.
Some sort of law enforcement officers versus a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud, accompanied by a bright flash and typically also thunder--who will win? Police training includes legal knowledge, criminal psychology, and weapons training but places relatively little emphasis on wilderness survival, so officers may not know the best ways of avoiding lightning strikes. However, cops do wear badges, and as the cult classic SNES game "Earthbound" demonstrates, a badge can deflect lightning bolts back to their sender with devastating effect. An interesting matchup to be sure.
He scored again a few minutes later ! ! Let's Go Rangers ! 💪
Nice feed from K’Andre Miller, another young player (second year D-man).

Dam kakko is a menace behind the net
he a real playoff hockey player. so many ppl think sports about individual points. mcdavid watch out for THE KIDS
This is awesome, I was not expecting the Rangers to do this good against Tampa.
I’ve been saying from the beginning, it’s gonna be an avs rangers season 🤘🏻
Same here! They seemed so shaky against Carolina and Tampa seemed so strong against Florida. Goes to show how unpredictable the playoffs are
we swept them in rs, laying the hammer now so far. BELIEVE!
tbh, carolina was a tougher opponent defensively. tampas d isnt as good, its all vasy.
also not having brayden point hurts tampa to

To think, just a few months ago, nearly everyone was calling Chytil, Kaako, and Laf busts...
Kakko
This kid is a damn gamer, the Rags are lucky to have him 👍
CHYTILMANIA
KAAPO KAKKO WITH THE DIME!!!
NAH NAH NA BOO BOO GO KIDS
Tampa just puck watching
Awesome 👍👍👍👍

would you rather light the lamp like crazy in your first 2 seasons like Matthews or not score so much but go deep in the playoffs like Lafreniere
The latter; the experience of playing elite-level hockey will serve him well.
Always best to be at your earliest potential. Matthews is near peak by now

choketthews is KOODA's bum buddies.
On behalf of hockey fans everywhere, please send Tampa packing.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Perry getting a second cup. But I’d rather see Mackinnon, McDavid or Panarin with it.

Guess Bettmans tired of Tampa.

But he loves money and they are selling like crazy.
