Athletistic / Hockey. Carolina Hurricanes forward Evgeny Kuznetsov explained what it meant to him to once again become teammates with defenseman Dmitry Orlov. Previously, the Russians played together for the Washington Capitals.
“It’s fantastic. We were both in such a situation that we needed each other. Now we spend a lot of time together and enjoy each other’s company. We have been friends for 15 years. C It was great to have Orlov’s support, I hope he does too in a boring moment. It’s amazing how life can turn out.
I wanted him to score a hat-trick today, but Dima was a little nervous. It’s a pleasure to watch him play. I know very well how he can play, he is a special defender. If Orlov has the courage, then the opponent will have difficulty. He plays well on both ends of the ice, can shoot on goal, play with the puck, hit people, intercept the puck. Dima can do anything on the ice, I’m not kidding now. It all depends on his self-confidence. He is also excited about tomorrow’s day off, which we will spend in New York. (Laughs.)“, Bally Sports quotes Kuznetsov.
