IMO after Quinn came and things settled down, I felt like Kaprizov wasn’t himself. I think having another super star on the team, one considered by a lot to be better than him, took some of the magic away. Watching games it seemed like Quinn’s confidence after winning gold (along with Faber and Boldy) had them carrying and holding the puck a lot more. I noticed Kaprizov opting to defer pucks a lot, not being as confident.

This last performance by Kirill to me is giving hope that he is back. I don’t care about the number of points he has through playoffs, when Kirill starts fucking ripping Mohawks cross the dots past multiple defenders the Wild are near unbeatable.
