Athletistic/Hockey. Russian forward Evgeny Kuznetsov plays for the Washington Capitals. He talked about how he reacted to criticism from legendary Canadian forward Wayne Gretzky.
— Even Wayne Gretzky criticized the slowness of your penalty shootouts, saying changes were needed in the rules so they couldn’t be taken. Do you understand what infuriates even people like the Great One?
– Yes, that doesn’t exasperate me… It’s an honor for me that Gretzky knows my last name – the guy from ChTZ who collected the bottles and boxes! I couldn’t even imagine that 25 years later such a person would talk about me. I am very happy that the greatest hockey player is discussing my hockey. For me, what he says about me is not criticism, but on the contrary, praise,” Kuznetsov said in an interview with SE.
