Cyril’s efforts were not enough – his team responded disgustingly in defense.
Preseason talk that Minnesota Wild leader Kirill Kaprizov may be the main contender for the “Hart Trophy” – the prize for the most valuable hockey player of the season – many did not take seriously. Although very respectable people bet on the Russian – for example, the authoritative columnist for the Canadian television company Sportsnet Elliott Friedman
In Minnesota’s last home game against Los Angeles, Kaprizov confirmed that he considers him one of the main stars of the NHL. The team scored 13 goals on the set, arranging an attraction of unheard-of generosity, but Kaprizov’s squad did not achieve much success.
Kaprizov himself did his best in this match: the Russian made 4 shots on target and scored 2 points. Especially good was his left gear on Joelia Ericsson Ek when playing the majority, when Kirill found a partner at the far post with an ideal geometry, the stick hits the puck less often for Ek.
Kirill’s goal was also good – a biting wrist shot from a far patch after a handy pass from Mats Zuccarello. Alas, all the old Russian forwards only slightly approached the “Savages” to the opponent, who used the Wild’s blunders in defense and nailed a whole shopping bag of his head. Goalkeeper Marc-André Fleurymissed 4 goals in 20 minutes, the fans even booed.
“I don’t blame the fans. After such a game, I would have booed myself too. so sleep tonight will be problematicFleury said.
“Nothing, we are a team that does not give up. Last year we identified a lot of hopeless matches, but you need to understand that a new season has begun,” he said sternly. Marcus Foligno.
