Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov shared his expectations for the new season of the National Hockey League (NHL).
“It’s okay if this season I don’t see 31 stadiums of all NHL clubs, I don’t feel the atmosphere of matches with fans. I hope this experience lies ahead of me. And now everyone is in the same conditions. Everyone wants to play hockey as soon as possible, including me. Hurry to start, let the season start faster! I left Russia with peace of mind for the NHL. Because I was ready for this for a long time. For two years my family knew that after the end of the contract with CSKA I would leave anyway. And so it happened “, – quotes the words of Kaprizov press service NHL.
He noted that he tries not to dwell on the expectations of others.
“Yes, I see the reaction of people. But not everything, because I am discussed a lot on American sites. And I hardly watch them. And I try to think more about my team, training and future matches. But in general it’s nice that those around me have such an opinion of me. It means that we need to justify these expectations with our play, ”added the forward.
