Russian striker “Edmonton” Klim Kostin in an interview with , he said he was impressed with the size of the Oilers’ club locker room, noting that he got lost there on his first visit.
Kostin joined the Edmonton team last October on a trade. This season, the 23-year-old hockey player has played in 33 NHL regular season games, scoring nine goals and allowing four assists.
“How do you live in Edmonton?” Are you digging a car in a snowdrift?
– The car will come now, my sister should send it to me from Los Angeles. There are no big snowdrifts in Edmonton now. It is very cold sometimes.
I still live in a hotel and am waiting for an apartment in the building to become vacant, where I want to rent it. Father should come, so it’s all good. If there are any questions or difficulties, the guys in the team will always help,” Kostin told .
There is also a giant mall in Edmonton.
Yes, West Edmonton Mall. But I was almost never there, because I spend a lot of time in the arena. We have the largest locker room in the NHL – three thousand square meters. In second place is a club, where a thousand and a half.
I come to the hotel after practice, take an hour nap, then return to the arena. I’m watching TV, I’m going to steal something from the fridge, and there’s a kitchen there.
– You can spend the night in such a dressing room.
– Yes. I haven’t tried it yet, but everything is in progress. When I arrived in this locker room on the first day, I got lost.
Have you been to the new Avangard Arena? It’s pretty cool there too.
I haven’t been there yet, but I can imagine. From the KHL, I’m only Avangard. Chisty (Semyon Chistyakov) performs there, we are in contact with him, as well as with Yegor Chinakhov, who is now in Columbus. Yet we won the Gagarin Cup together, dear team. It’s good that things have been going badly for them lately. I saw that at the start of the season they slipped a bit.
