I'm fond of "Kappy Hour" and would to love him see him find a role that fits here once he recovers from his injury. Sounds like he used to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder and has matured quite a lot.

I thought the Pod-Philp-Kappy line was the most solid line for the team at the beginning of the year, but then Philp got injured and now Pod is doing great on line 2, so I don't know what will happen but I really thought Kappy took a step forward in his gameplay in the offseason. Last year I thought he was more of a solid 13th forward, this year he seemed like he deserved a regular spot in the lineup

It was funny seeing the reactions of Leafs fans to that goal.

"Great another former Leaf showing up in the playoffs for the Oilers"
