Athletistic/Hockey. Striker “Minnesota” Kirill Kaprizov brilliantly showed himself in the NHL match with “Dallas” (6:5 B). The striker managed three shots on goal and scored one goal.
At the start of the second period, the Russian opened the scoring in a duel while his team had a numerical advantage.
Thus, Kaprizov scores in six straight games, and his scoring streak has already extended to 12 games (a repeat of the Wild record). During this period, the 25-year-old winger put 19 (8+11) points in the piggy bank.
In total, in the current season, Kaprizov scored 32 points (16+16) in 24 matches.
The Russian striker was recognized as the first star of the game against Dallas. Here’s how foreign hockey fans rated Kaprizov’s game on social media:
digitalbooya:
– Cap, oh you’re beautiful!
Ovechkid08:
– What amazing sniper shots he has!
Southlondon what:
– Just the usual things done by the big Cap.
AK:
– Kaprizov, as always, did a brilliant job. I’m glad we don’t have to worry too much about his hitting streak.
digitalbooya:
– Together with Cyril, Boldy should have been identified long ago on an ongoing basis. They create dangerous moments every time they go out on the ice together.
Ovechkid08:
– Well, I never doubted he would score a post-game shootout.
Thestarofnorthstars:
– In this aspect, he brought everything to automatism.
Wasted Talent:
– After all, he has 4 out of 4 shootouts in the season, right?
digitalbooya:
– Yes, that’s correct. Rousseau confirms.
AK:
– And in the past there were 2 out of 6…
Jayster Jay:
Everything seems to come to him so easily!
Seraphax:
– Yeah, the guy knows how to play hockey…
Panarin10:
– At the same time, I like how Kaprizov’s attacking combination sometimes seems simply guided by the principle: “We don’t know how to defend ourselves, so we will attack.”
@DigDumbass:
– Kaprizov is a hell of a terrible opponent. For the second game in a row in the shootout, he does what he wants, making the guards look like total assholes.
@blairzyp_:
– It’s cool that for five years Kaprizov led Minnesota by the nose, annealed at that time in the KHL. “Wild” begged him to come, and he sent them to the forest and replied that it would happen when he was completely ready. And now he’s the best winger in the NHL.
@DFlex2123:
Kirill is a real artist.
@ThatVikingGuy19:
– Seeing Robertson on the ice, Kaprizov thinks: oh shit, I have to show why I’m stronger.
@XxDeLiiRiumx:
Robertson is overrated. It is not as good as described. Kaprizov is cooler than him.
@SpokedZ:
– What an incredible throw Kaprizov managed, who at the same time was in an absolutely static state.
@letsgowild97_33:
– This year there are so many goalkeepers that Kaprizov made look stupid…
@jack_kinsman:
– Kirill is clearly not from this planet.
@BRADENSCHNELDER:
– In light of recent Rangers games, which I support, it’s so cool to watch Kaprizov, who is really hungry for hockey.
@OhHitony:
– Kaprizov is a really amazing player.
Kjates:
– Sometimes I start to forget how beautiful Kaprizov is … but when it happens, he immediately reminds me.
Sawdust Is My Cocaine:
– Pretty cool match in our performance. Well, Kaprizov excelled. I am therefore happy!
