Athletistic/Hockey. On the eve of the “Calgary” and “Minnesota” game of the NHL regular season, the league’s official website wondered how Russian forward “Wild” Kirill Kaprizov would show himself.
“No. 13 could be lucky for Kaprizov. Minnesota’s No. 97 will be looking to build his hitting streak to 13 games and set the wild club record for that metric.
The Russian striker is one of the most restless forwards in the first quarter of the regular season. Kaprizov has scored 19 (8+11) points during his impressive streak, and stopping him will clearly be a major challenge for the Calgary Flames, who will be on the lookout for a third straight win and are doing quite well in residence.
Do not forget that Kaprizov continues his scoring streak, which reached 6 matches.
The match “Calgary” and “Minnesota” will start on December 8 at 04:00 Moscow time.
Crosby: ‘Caprizov is dangerous in every way’
Here’s how Minnesota fans rated Kaprizov’s game this season on social media:
Jayster Jay:
Everything seems to come to him so easily!
Seraphax:
– Yes, the guy knows how to play hockey … I love watching games with his participation.
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.
@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.
@letsgowild97_33:
– This year there are so many goalkeepers that Kaprizov made look stupid…
@jack_kinsman:
– Kirill is clearly not from this planet.
@BRADENSCHNELDER:
– Kaprizov 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.
@yvnks:
Cyril is the love of my life.
@dareanwitt:
– Kaprizov is doing better than all the players who go out with him in the same five.
@77_jaws:
– Kirill is first and foremost a team player, not just someone who works for his stats.
@rebma_almighty:
– Let them bury me in a jersey with Kaprizov’s number and name.
@kizren:
– My love for Kaprizov is so abnormal that I am ready to wear around my neck a small medallion in the shape of a heart, inside which there will be a photo of Cyril.
@senshado1:
– Are there any records Kaprizov can’t break?
@Dustinhaning:
– Kirill Kaprizov is literally Wayne Gretzky for Minnesota.
AK:
– It’s amazing that he can score in any situation.
Seraphax:
– Yes, the guy can play hockey. This season he is simply amazing.
Twiggz612:
– How cool Cyril! Great player.
Hanaymalave:
– He’s just a magician! Surprising!
Katherine Vote:
– N°97 – you are incomparable! Continue like that.

– Cyril is really the best! At the same time, he helps to reveal his best qualities to his partners.
