Gotta See It: Kapanen shows off his hands in NHL debut

Get excited Leafs fans, because William Nylander and Kasperi Kapanen are going to be good. Just check out these moves Kapenen pulled on two Lightning players in his NHL debut. Too bad he couldn't convert it in the end.

Seriously people can't understand how huge the golden goal was personally for Kapanen. He's been good, he's had that confidence but he's always built so much pressure on himself and now he finally got that big relief. I been doubting Kasperi but now I truly believe he's gonna be something.

This should be a fantastic duo next season (I just hope they win the Calder this year). This should be a 9-game look for both.

don't know how high is ceiling is but looks good so far, if we lose 1st to Oilers wouldn't mind pairing a Finn with him (Puljujarvi or Laine)

I hope Sportsnet shows me every single thing the leafs do this year. Oh they are? Ok good

I'm a Leafs fan kasperi kapanen should be with a big Club this year as well as Josh leivo imagine all the skill on this team they can roll out three or four lines that can be dangerous

Damn.. I really will miss him in Pittsburgh even though he never got a chance to play with us.. Hes a stud and i would MUCH rather have him than kessel

I know this vid is about his hands but watch that back check. If you're a hockey player or coach you'll understand

NHL debut? Didnt he play for the penguins?

[andrewpersaud]

Only issue with this play is his head was down after the second deke. Or he'd have seen passing was a better option than shooting. I thought this 2 years ago when I first saw the play and lo and behold it ended up being a reason he kept getting sent back down. Always tried to dangle with his head down and continuously got picked.

Remember when Maple Leaf fans thought they got robbed from Why hello there Pens fans :-)
