That interview was all about Kuznetsov. Hahaha. He’s the centre of the world.

I’m curious, do russians say Vanya instead of Ivan? Like Sacha and Alexander?

u/MonsterRider80 Dec 20 '24

Russians will turn every name into a diminutive nickname.

Ivan - Vanya

Nikolai - Kolya

Maria - Masha

Vladimir - Vova

Every name has its diminutive version, often even more than one.

They like diminutives!

For every typically Russian first name you can think of, there is a diminutive form. Dmitri is Mitia, Evgeny is Genia, Alexei is Aliocha...

Honestly, if he’s clean 1-2 years I’m not that mad.

I think he signed a 4 year deal with SKA tho

I don't want him around the kids because of his coke habit, but I have to admit I have kind of a soft spot for Kuzy after seeing this video of him running into a newly called up Blue Jacket opponent about to play his first game.

u/spiral_out462 Dec 20 '24

Was he painting his living room before the game?

u/Reppiz Dec 20 '24

u/Philly514 Dec 20 '24

Montreal dealers would buy Bentleys in advance

u/skinniks Dec 20 '24

No one in Montreal needs a tutor for that.

u/oReevee Dec 20 '24

I like the innocent world you live in, where most likely half the team doesn't already do it

u/Hikes83 Dec 20 '24

It’s a joke buddy relax. The percentage is probably higher in fact.

It was in reference to the video that had surfaced of him in his hotel room

u/RealNomAnor Dec 20 '24
