Athletistic/Hockey. The Minnesota Wild beat the Nashville Predators 4-3 in the NHL regular season. Russian striker Kirill Kaprizov scored twice.
Early on, Kirill played well on the rebound and hit Kevin Lankinen with a one-touch pitch.
At the time of the second goal, the Russian created an improvised ball for himself, which he easily completed with an accurate shot in the far corner.
Now Kaprizov has 66 (33+33) points in 56 matches this season. With 33 goals scored, Kirill came in eighth place in the league’s list of top marksmen, surpassing “Washington” forward Alexander Ovechkin.
Here’s how foreign hockey fans reacted to Kaprizov’s success:
@SiphonSports:
– How glad I am that Kaprizov is playing for our team!
@Squillbill95:
– I rarely watch Minnesota games, but I understand that Kaprizov is just amazing!
@alexismirjana:
– Kirill Kaprizov is the hormone serotonin, if he were a person.
@AngryPredsFan:
– Good things often happen around amazing players like Kaprizov.
@Jack931_:
– Caprices – this is the only reason why the “Wild” are not at the bottom of the rating.
@bluecollarirish:
– Do you remember how we supposedly overpaid him? Ha ha.
@MihalikKailey:
– How lucky we are that Kaprizov is a “Minnesota” player!
@Banksy56:
– An absolute star!
@RayanMensww:
– This Russian does incredible things!
@4thlinesports:
– Kirill Kaprizov means more to the Minnesota Wild than any other player.
@yvnks:
– Kaprizov scored two goals today, so the day automatically becomes good.
@anickelsworth:
– Give Kaprizov teammates of a decent level, and he will be number one!
@Southpaw7T1:
– Imagine that Kaprizov could get up with a good central striker on his link…
Puzzleheaded-End8773:
– Whenever Kaprizov is not on the ice, all the other players on the team should ask in bewilderment: “Where is Kaprizov?”
wink of the skater:
– Glad to see Kaprizov smiling again!
Arewe_havingfuyet:
– Kaprizov is love, Kaprizov is our life!
Quills66:
– He has already become number 1 in our hearts.
Jeezy Tha Snowman:
– All of this makes you wonder what Minnesota would have looked like if management hadn’t persuaded it to come over from Russia back then.
tklives:
– Without Cyril, the last place in the ranking would have been assured.
@mebemvp:
– Do you know what I like most about Kaprizov? How happy he is for his teammates when they score. His reaction is pure gold! Many players in this situation would be focused on scoring a hat-trick, but all he thinks about is winning and making the team successful.
@josemanuelmorin:
– Whenever I watch Minnesota games, I like Kaprizov the most. One of the most independent players in the NHL!
@undhawke:
– So this is our last year with Cyril or what?
@mnwild:
– General director of scorers.
@tupark10:
– It’s time to start building a statue of Kaprizov.
From South minnie:
– Kaprizov looked possessed in this game!
The Tree_43:
– My God, what an incredible blow he has!
Megelsen:
– Cap is on fire! Don’t stop it!
Arewe_havingfuyet:
– Cap – it’s fire. And love…
Scjones122:
– Cyril, oh you beast!
_Nordstar_:
– What a blessing that he is ours!
KaprizovSaveUs:
– It looks like this guy has made up his mind to single-handedly drag us into the playoffs yet again.
Doctor Jan itor:
– Personally, I would certainly not be against such a scenario. lol.
KaprizovSaveUs:
– I guess Kirill will enter the top 3 when voting for the “Hart Trophy”.
NoGoatsNoGlory:
– How cool to see a smile on his face again after the goals!
JB_Smoove25:
– Skating Kaprizov is really something!
The Tree_43:
“It was still amazing how quickly he could turn around.
Andy Javen:
– And what kind of power move does Kirill make?
Male Nudity:
– Can it be cloned?
Responsible for nothing:
– Cappi has rebuilt his schedule averaging at least one point per game after failing to register in the last game.
Kjates:
– Oh, it’s a shame we didn’t manage to score a hat-trick today…
Kaprizov tied Minnesota’s record for power-play goals in a single season. Previously, only Brian Rolston (2005-2006) managed to knock down opponents’ doors in this format 15 times during the club’s existence.
“Minnesota” after 56 rounds finds itself on the eighth line of the Western Conference standings, thus occupying the last place of passage to reach the playoffs.
