He is our lifeline and when he realizes his moment Kaprizov charges us with trust.”
Here’s how foreign hockey fans commented on Kaprizov’s game on social media:
digitalbooya:
– My God, how good he is at scoring goals. Brilliant hockey shown, well done!
Private13Fox:
– Oh, Cap, what a handsome man you are! He scored a great shot, keep it up!
Ovechkid08:
– A Boldy Band – The whims of most of us are too good to be true.
AK:
– All of this is certainly pretty cool. The way he finishes his attacks is pure perfection! True master. I wonder when the hat tricks will go? But it’s still very good.
NHL1674:
– Of course, I don’t want to be boring, but is anyone else able to score goals in our team besides Kaprizov? The fact that Cyril is great, we already know that. He progresses game by game.
AK:
– It often strikes me that all Wild players stand still and don’t open up when Kaprizov is looking for options to make the transfer. But it’s good that he scores. Kaprizov is growing and it is clear that a great future awaits him in the future. He pulls the team through tough times.
NHL1674:
– I can’t even imagine what would have happened to our team without Kaprizov. This guy is very, very hungry. He constantly aims for the opposing goal and that’s very good. I hope this season will be even better.
KaprizovSaveUs:
– And Kirill thus gets us out of the hole we were in at the start of the season… I knew we would come back. This will be our year! The only pity is that Kaprizov, apparently, hates doing hat tricks. lol. Please don’t stop at two goals!
AK:
– I think if he wanted to, he would have had a lot of hat tricks by now. He is too well brought up to humiliate his rivals in this way. Happy for Kaprizov, he is improving all the time. He has a great future. I hope he manages to win the Stanley Cup.
Kaprizov will have to pay a big fine for his turn in the NHL
