Vancouver Canucks forward Andrey Kuzmenko After a double in the NHL regular season game against the San Jose Sharks, he said that team accomplishments are more important to him than personal accomplishments.
The meeting in Vancouver ended with a score of 7:4, Kuzmenko scored in the 2nd and 7th minutes and was recognized as the first star of the match. Subsequently, the 27-year-old Russian became the second star of the NHL.
“We have a very strong team this season, I’m happy to play for Vancouver.” Thanks to the fans, it’s incredibly great to play home games.
— We scored twice in the first half, how did you feel?
— The important point is not the goals, but the victories.
— How do you feel about playing in front of incredible fans who continue to come here every game? What does their support mean to you as you continue to bring them joy in the new year?
— That’s a difficult question, because I didn’t understand a single word. I know my English is bad, I need to work on it. This season we need victories, many thanks to the fans,” Kuzmenko said in an interview after the match.
This season, the Russian forward has scored 19 points (8 goals and 11 assists) in 30 matches.
