The story broke midday Tuesday. An interview Kakko did after the Vancouver game with Finnish reporter Pasi Tuominen of Eastside Media was discovered and seized upon by North American media. It’s sure to have an impact on an already fragile New York Rangers team.
The New York Post reported on the story Tuesday night and clarified some of the comments by speaking with Tuominen about his interview with Kakko. That’s important as a lot can be lost in translation. In the interview, Kakko discussed how disappointed he is with his own performance and how it has affected his ice time.
