I love that Askarov clearly loves the outdoors. He'll love the Bay Area and California. Seeing him explore Santa Cruz or Tahoe or the mountains. That's what life is all about here. Enjoying what the best the world has to offer in terms of climate and terrain and culture.
Great interview Brodie! If I can make one suggestion, when speaking to players were English is not their first language, give them a little bit more time to translate their thoughts in their heads
This is such a great way for us to get to know the players. Absolutely love this new series, and thank you to the Sharks org for bringing Brodie back in such a fun way
Askarov's superior puck-handling ability is risky but it really gives Sharks an extra man, a power play advantage almost if the opponent's goalie is not as good. He is an acrobat on skates and quick enough to recover when puck doesn't bounce right. He could also be among Calder Cup finalists if eligible. If possible, get the player a mike with stand like your own so he can wave around hands when expressing himself. Getting good audio in a cavernous arena must be technically challenging. The role of comedy in hockey, especially in creating greater team chemistry, should be interpreted more. The big role of luck in hockey means that you have to learn to laugh off your bad luck bounces and wait to see it happen to others again and again. Askarov is an intellectual in his approach, a great hockey thinker, studying the game and learning every moment. Mike Grier improved the level of hockey IQ on this team by getting Askarov, Celebrini, Smith and Graf. These players will learn together and teach each other more, no rush to development, we just need another Stanley Cup final within 4 years.

This guy is great. First answer he had already making me laugh 😂
TIMESTAMP your favorite part!
Tank Talk is such a great addition btw thank you Brodie ❤
😂 I'm so happy Asky is with this organization.. he is making things fun again 🥰
Love Askarov, very happy to have him! Had a chance to meet him in-person during those off-season fan meet-ups, he was awesome to talk to
Love Asky so much already, his energy makes it so easy to give him positivity back.
2 banger interviews already by Brodie. So glad he's back he's amazing.
I like how he includes the fans (in his celebrations, his interview answers)
This dude is fun! Still learning to speak English and already putting down better interviews then 90% of the NHL.
Brodie has been putting these things out like crazy. I love all the activity.
Great interview!
Asky 🤝🦈
Asky is such a beauty
Dude is so much like a young nabby personality wise

“I was really normal” the lie detector determined THAT WAS A LIE
“I was super confident, no one could score on me” is very shorsey “we will never lose again”
0:17 "I was really normal" 😂
This guy is a beauty! He's been playing his way onto the NHL squad
Great interview Brodie! If I can make one suggestion, when speaking to players were English is not their first language, give them a little bit more time to translate their thoughts in their heads
Brodie: "I'm glad you turned into a goalie."
Me too, Brodie. Me too.
Aski has an open invite to the carne asada party!
Great interview! I’m so excited to have Askie on the team!
Yaro, the wait for a permanent goalie in SJ has been worth it. Can't wait to see you winning playoff games with Mack, Will, Ekky, Zetts and Shak!
Love the interview and love to have you back Brodie!
hearing you guys talk about nabby around 7:50 was great!
This is such a great way for us to get to know the players. Absolutely love this new series, and thank you to the Sharks org for bringing Brodie back in such a fun way
Brodie + Asky = like even before watching! Thank you!
9:40 "I'm just so happy to be here" The feeling's mutual
DUDE!!! You FOLLOWED THROUGH LIKE A STUD!!!!!
I love that he celebrates his wins! Goalies don’t do that enough. I am so glad we are seeing “the most smiling Asky”. So happy he’s a Shark!
Askys a gem, what a cool guy
What a guy! I love me some asky.
Going to be a fan favorite
Man have I ever missed Brodie. The dude just loves sports and you can tell he loves being part of them.

I liked Askarov before this interview. I Love Askarov after this interview. Go Sharks!
We love you, asky
Nashville is going to regret trading him. Great job Mike Greer… Celebrini was luck… this trade was inspired
Stoked you’re back Brodie!
Love this new series!! Great interview, Askarov is quickly becoming a favorite of mine!! Glad to have him in San Jose!!🦈
Quibble: He is not a "countryman" of Nabby.
So looking forward to the future with these young guys. There's going to be lots of Asky sweaters being purchased!
man I'm glad he's a shark! thanks for these introductions, great stuff
We love you Asky 😭🫶 beyond happy that you’re with us!!
