Kirill Kaprizov: "I feel a lot easier after scoring my goal"
22.05.2019
Kirill Kaprizov, scorer of the fourth goal against Sweden, spoke to the media after the 7:4 victory at the 2019 IIHF World Championship:
- Luck was on our side in the second period. We created a lot of opportunities and the puck went into the net. Yes, it's true that we switched off at the end of the match, and this is something which we would like to improve. Scuffles between the two sets of players? That's perfectly normal, it's a part of the game. I feel that a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders with the goal. I am happy that we don't have to travel anywhere in this competition.
