Athletistic / Hockey. Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov shared his emotions during the first NHL preseason game. Last night, in a meeting with the Colorado Avalanche, the Russian scored a double and helped the “wilds” win with a score of 4:2.
“Two goals scored? Today in the first half I had a lot of chances. I can score more. Now we have to work on conversion chances. The first match after the holiday is always difficult – my legs get heavy after 20 seconds. But that wasn’t the worst match.
It seems to me that everyone is ready for the start of the season. I’m only talking about the first match. We haven’t played in how many months – four, five? I’m ready to start the season. Now I understand what to expect from training camp.
How has our majority changed? We’ll see as the season progresses. I think we are trying to improve. We’ll see, the season will tell us. Hartman is a great hockey player, he always plays well in front of the goal, knows what we want to do, always tries to get open. He has a great shot, in my opinion, better than me and Zuccarello. We know what he does and he understands what we want to do, ”Kaprizov is quoted as saying by the press service of Minnesota.
