Kirill Kaprizov and Evgeny Dadonov speak after beating France
04.05.2018
Russian national team forward Kirill Kaprizov:
- If we speak about the game, some mistakes were made, but we need to continue developing in every match.
- Which mistakes were committed?
- We lost the puck, and the coaches told us in the breaks where we were going wrong. We will analyse them and prepare for the next match in order not to make the same errors.
- Despite playing with Evgeny Dadonov, it felt as though it was the Olympic line with Nikita Gusev again.
- I have said on a number of occasions that lots of great players compete for the national team in any line. Evgeny Dadonov is not an exception.
Russian national team forward Evgeny Dadonov:
- Was it interesting to watch how my line played? I don't know, it was my first match playing with Pavel Datsyuk. Everyone finds it interesting with him, probably.
- What can you say about playing with Kirill Kaprizov?
- He is a technical player who plays the game with intelligence. It wasn't hard to understand what he wanted to do with the puck.
- When you had a 2 on 1 breakaway, you gave him a pass instead of taking the shot.
- I don't know, I probably wanted to give him a pass.
- Do you feel euphoric after winning 7:0?
- No, the coaches will show us what we did wrong.
- What mistakes were made?
- I think we had spells of the game where we didn't perform that well. The video will be shown to us and we'll know where we have to improve. The team only gathered a couple of weeks ago, and some of the guys arrived here later.
- Are you talking about possible players arriving from the NHL?
- If I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of spaces left in the roster. We are always happy to have extra help, let's see how things work out.
