NY Rangers Game 43 Open Thread: Jack Hughes avoids Kaapo Kakko

Another game against the Devils, another mysterious “injury” for Jack Hughes to avoid facing his bitter rival, Kaapo Kakko. Legend has it these two separated at birth, and force fed subliminal messages about how the other likes to mess with donkeys. This in turn has spewed incredible hatred and these two have been at odds ever since.

The science experiment took a turn for the worse when the Devils and Rangers landed the top two picks in their draft year, taking these bitter rivals and ensuring they always face each other on the ice for the rest of their natural born lives.
