In this video I talk all about the Russian superstar Kirill Kaprizov and the Minnesota Wild. Kaprizov is currently one of the NHL points leaders and has been the most important player on a Wild team that is also in first place in NHL standings. The Wild have a special team this year, not only because of Kirill but also guys like Mats Zuccarello, Matt Boldy, Brock Faber, Joel Eriksson Ek, Filip Gustavsson, and Jared Spurgeon. This team could very well make a run at the Stanley Cup this year!

0:21 so nasty
Minnesota with #97 is a SC contender but without him probably wouldn't make the playoffs this season
Главное без травм! Матсу Zuk здоровья!
As long as they don't fade away at the end of the year like the have a tendency to do.
get back to me when the state of hockey finally wins a Stanley
мужик вся Россия смотрит за вами, чтобы жить в мире чтобы не уничтожить свое существование …для нас HXL как жизнь нашей за пределами, как будто мы сами играем за него …
В Миннесоте так много хоккейных болельщиков !!!❤❤❤Мы удивляемся и восхищаемся !!! МОЛОДЦЫ ❤🎉
This is an outstanding piece
Very righteous assessment of a VERY unique player
Your notice of ‘theThrill’s uncanny abilities -particularly his ability to one-time’ those cross-ice passes – was spot on
Nice job!
Kirill hanging out with Ovi is doing wonders for his development.. How many GM's are kicking themselves for passing on him because they were afraid he'd stay in Russia??
Dont forget the cap space thats about to open up, the disaster left behind from Suter and Parise will drop from 14 million this year to 1.4 or something like that next year, which will open up a lot of interesting doors for the wild to have another skilled forward on the lineup, they are looking great in net with Gustavsson and Jesper Walstedt developing still, the D is solid, so yeah, a great pick or 2, renew the last one or 2 contracts that need to be reupped and the wild will be a contender for a while, if they can keep healthy.
Can't forget Brodin for the D, he's an absolute unit of a shutdown defensemen, McDavid has a rather low (at least for him) points per game against the wild, and when he's on the ice, Brodin is usually there as well
Watching him up close he has crazy hands, a high hockey IQ, but what makes him special is his compete level. Add in edges in puck protection and a motor that seems to never run out of fuel, he’s an absolute top 5 player. If Yulov comes over next season, and Height develops, the Wild are moving towards relevancy for the next 4-5 years, even with the cap
restrictions this season. This excludes Jiricek, Buium and the number 1 goalie prospect, Wallstedt all waiting in the wings sooner than later.
Wild mediocre like always. 😅
The Vikings and Wild have both been surprises this year. Good fall/winter to be a MN fan
Wild are looking to give him a massive extension once this season is done. I'm thinking that with the way he's playing, that he will get an 8X15 or 8X15.5M deal by the time the 4th of July rolls around. The best thing about KK97 is that he just enjoys the game.
Completely agree. The closest Russian comp I have for Kaprizov is Pavel Datsyuk… Doesn’t have the defensive chops yet, but he doesn’t slack off either like a lot of goal scorers. Maybe not as nimble as Datsyuk, but has more power with his skating, certainly high-end edge work. Wild will need to open the vault for him
