Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov responded to criticism of Minnesota’s Russian forward Kirill Kaprizov.
– It will always be like this – you have to blame someone. Hockey is life, and that’s what guys have to do. Kirill himself is playing well, although he is not earning many points at the moment. Even the greatest have such periods; everything doesn’t always go well. What should coaches and management do? Everything must be attributed to something. Naturally, the fault lies with the players.
Yes, the media and journalists usually blame the players, but the club instead defends its athletes. That means Minnesota has such leadership here. We have to think about it. Kaprizov is a player of the highest level, an Olympic champion who does his job. Well, they will complain, something will change in the club and all this will end,” Metaratings.ru quotes Kozhevnikov.
The Russian has 15 points (5+10) in 17 regular season matches this season.
