He knew "shit".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.

I view his shootout move simply as "shoot where there's a hole, when there's a hole". Sounds simple, but definitely is not. How many guys are that accurate all the time, and have no tell? He's unreal, literally. What he does seems like it is from a robot, it's just been so precise each time.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.
I liken it to a fighter having a really good jab, who gives absolutely no hint that it's coming. It's extremely rare for that to happen. Said fighter can literally punch you in the face any time he wants, unless you cover your face, in which case he goes to the body(5 hole), or he tries to guess when you are going to hit, and throws out his hands to block the punch(pokecheck).I view his shootout move simply as "shoot where there's a hole, when there's a hole".

It's impossible to never have a hole as a goalie. You basically need him to miss what he's aiming at (which he hasn't yet), because that's the only way you're stopping it.
If i was a goalie I'd probably race at him before he was ready, like a linebacker looking to make a tackle. If you sit back you're screwed anyway, so what not try the unexpected?
And more often than, it would probably look like Fleury vs. Robertson.Something tells me this wouldn't phase him unless the goalie timed it perfectly. The way he can skate and handle the puck, it's instinctual. He would simply protect the puck and wait the goalie out until he had an open net. You'd have to start rushing him at a distance where you can get to the puck before he can react, which is a very short window.
For added context, it took Panarin 223 games.Obviously requires context but nice company nonetheless.
im upset & mad at gaborik however in his defense the gm DR & ownership never spent to the cap max. hopefully kaprizov will be happy when our cap h3ll is over and mgmt is smart enough to bring in a talented friend of kaprizov. WE CAN'T LOSE HIM! he needs to be a wild player for his entire career. (see ovechkin)
Why? Because nothing about the NHL All-Star weekend has made any sense since 2000.So Kap only gets in the fastest skater? Meh. He doesn't stand a chance there.
Why not have him in the accuracy challenge? I'd love to see him get a shot at 4 for 4!

Fiala is fast enough to win. Kap isn't.They're doing it to spark a fiery rivalry between Kaprizov and Fiala, who is also participating

Russo is worried, are you?
