Athletistic/Hockey. Recently, there have been more and more rumors about the trade of Vancouver Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko.
But the club reacted quickly. The team’s president of hockey operations, Jim Rutherford, stressed that the team does not intend to consider offers for the Russian in the near future.
“My only worry is he’s under pressure now. He’s a good player. He’s a capable player. Is he the guy who’s going to score 40 goals again? Probably not. But The way he plays, it’s a safe bet he’s going to score 40. Shoot 25,” Rutherfordo said.
This season of the regular NHL championship, Kuzmenko has scored only 5 goals in 26 games.
Earlier in the game against Tampa, Kuzmenko scored a goal. The hockey player ended his streak of four consecutive games without a point. Andrei’s playing time during the confrontation with Tampa was 12 minutes 56 seconds.
This is how Kuzmenko’s game was rated on the pages of the English-speaking forum HFBoards:
Wonton15:
– Oh, finally let him break through for real!
TruKnyte:
– Cool, Kuzya!
PavelBure10:
– What a throw, Kuzmenko! Beauty!
Kylek023:
– Rocket!
AlainVigneaultsGum:
– It was damn attractive.
Baby Pettersson:
– Kuzya is back!
LickTheEnvelope:
– Well, he chose the right time to achieve his goal!
Pastor of Muppetz:
– I am incredibly happy for Kuzya.
Bbud:
– Yes, he really needed this puck. Just like the Canucks.
Statistics tables:
– Extremely, I would say.
Red:
– Destiny has finally rewarded him. You deserve it!
Ozone:
– Hurray! I am happy!
Latitude:
– Great job, Kuzya! I like that he started throwing. Hopefully this goal will help him get out of the hole he fell into.
Moiderer:
– Yes, I want to believe that he will inspire Kuzya with confidence in his abilities.
Wonton15:
– After this puck, Kuzmenko literally began to fly over the site.
PavelBure10:
– Yeah, he even started using power techniques! All this can only really be rejoicing.
Sédinerie:
– It seems to me that in the case of this whole thing between Tokket and Kuzmenko, Andrei is simply making Rick’s summer too much fun. Okay, have fun however you want… but why post all this on social media to excite your coach? Regardless, Andrei has great talent, and not fully utilizing it is a mistake for the club.
Last season, which marked Kuzmenko’s NHL debut, the hockey player scored 74 points (39+35).
