Player Discussion Kirill Kaprizov (Part 3)

[Dr Jan Itor]

HF thinks Kaprizov is 2nd best winger in the game too, just like me. HFBoards Top 32 Wingers - #2

Makes sense. He had the best winger season last year if you factor in degree of difficulty.

I think it's not just about stats.

But, you aren't the 2nd best winger in the game.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Of course not, because Kirill is.

 

[MK9]

Of course not, because Kirill is.

I'd go so far as to say, you're not even in the top 1,000 players in the NHL.

Heh, you are cruel but can't say you're wrong.

[Nino Noderreiter]

I think he might look even faster/more dangerous/more confident this year. It's amazing watching a player who can score 2-3 points without even playing his A or B game. He leads the charge for the Wild and the feeling that they can always come back. This team needs to win though as that kind of tenacity isn't there unless it's being rewarded.

I love this little man

Postgame @ Ottawa

His English is getting better, remember he didn't know one word when he arrived here.

He did know one word, quite a bit more, but he wasn't at all comfortable speaking it yet. Dumba said he was impressed with how well he spoke English when he first arrived.

 

[MuckOG]

Currently on pace for 66g 41a 107pts.

Less points than list year. Disappointing

But last year his first 10 games "only" had 9 points, in a "slow start". If this is a slow start, too, he's going to have like 150 points this year. Seems reasonable.

[Dickie Dunn]

Is it safe to finally say that he is, by far, the best player this organization has ever had? Some people even last year thought it was still Gaborik but c’mon, its not close. Gabby was good, sometimes really good but he was never this good.

Absolutely.

Wild Bill Kirill Fast Hand

I like how he goes both sides. Mostly high, but he also slipped one in between the legs- as a goalie, it's pretty impossible to prepare. One thing he does on all of his shots is shoot w/o a "tell" that he is going to, so goalie is always late reacting. Also doesn't worry about power, just getting shot off quickly.

While he is deceptive, he doesn't really do a traditional deke move.

Hard to prepare for as a goalie. You almost have to treat it like a soccer goalie treats a penalty- guess on one side or the other.

The Ovechkin vs. Crosby era ends. The era of McDavid vs. Matthews vs. Kaprizov is coming.
