When it comes to the Minnesota Wild there's no one more loved over there than Russian born sniper Kirill Kaprizov. The 25 year-old is off to an amazing start this season so far with 27 goals and 32 assists.
Kaprizov was picked to represent the Wild during this weekend's NHL All-Star festivities. Whether or not you're a fan of the whole All-Star weekend is totally your decision, but there's many fans and other's including players and former players who could care less about the whole gimmick.
Well I guess you can add Kaprizov to the list of players that clearly were not interested with the All-Star weekend. After Minnesota Wild's Hockey Insider Mark Lazarus would share on Twitter:
Kirill Kaprizov after declining to take part in any individual events Friday night, had no points and was minus -2 in a 6-4 Central Division win.
He's super-excited to be at the All-Star weekend , guys. (sarcasm)
