Andrei Kuzmenko had an incredible first season with the Vancouver Canucks, he put up 39 goals and 35 assists in 81 games. Kuzmenko has some of the best hands in the NHL and is very exciting to watch.
Kuzmenko is a highlight reel machine. Will miss him, just didn't jive this year. He's going to crush it on the flames if he's allowed a long leash to be creative. At the very least he will keep ya'll entertained. Such good energy and so fun to watch.
As an avs fan, I want Vancouver back in the playoffs so bad, that canucks crowd is electric constantly and they got pettersson and the kuzmeister too so they would be fun
I can’t support the Canucks but do have to admit that the atmosphere sounds pretty great.. it’s no Montreal but maybe 3rd in Canada after Oilers (World juniors about 15 years back and Olympic Golds stands out specifically).
What a beautiful player and a Prime beaver tapper :) Where did he even come from? Doesnt look like he was ever drafted. Only point per game player in MHL VHL. Started to turn on when he arrived to SKA St Pete. Definition of a late bloomer?
Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko had to make some dietary sacrifices this summer. Last summer, before the 27-year-old winger suited up for the Canucks out of the KHL, Kuzmenko made some heavily topped waffles a staple of his diet. Even after scoring 39 goals in his first NHL season, Kuzmenko knew he had to cut out the sweet delicacies for training purposes. “Last season was so bad for me, my weight,” Kuzmenko told Sportsnet’s Iain MacIntyre. “Now, I lose weight. Last summer, I (ate) a lot of waffles.” And they weren't just your basic Eggos, either. Kuzmenko dressed his waffles to the nines. “Waffles, then Nutella, then strawberries, then bananas.” Sounds like the ideal start to any day, but maybe not for a high-level athlete. Kuzmenko made some sacrifices during his training this summer to hopefully turn up to Canucks camp in much better shape this time around. “Waffles are not good for me," he said. “I like, but (they're) not good for me. This summer, rules for me: no chocolate, no Nutella, no ice cream in my freezer. You want ice cream, then go to the market. But I stay home.” The strict change may help Kuzmenko avoid a sophomore slump this upcoming season. He entered 2022-23 as the top KHL free agent and as a largely unknown quantity. He then scored 39 goals and 74 points and led the entire NHL in shooting percentage for a Canucks team that was sorely lacking high-end talent. And with Vancouver rewarding him with a two-year, $11-million contract in the middle of last season, Kuzmenko only wants to improve. “I need to be better,” he said. “Little drills, yes? Defence, I be better. Shooting, I be better. I shoot more. And skating ... I need physical body. Work, work, work. “I know I have pressure. But I have pressure all my hockey years. Every year, step up. But for me, it’s simple: You want to be better? Go to work. Go to the gym, go to the ice, go to the cycle. You don’t want to be better? Relax, stay home. But I want to be better.”
Let me know what players I should do highlights on next!
Elias petterson
Jack Hughes
Ville Husso
David Pastrnak
Rasmus Dahlin, really solid year!

As long as he doesn't pull a Huberdeau 😅
Theres no petterson on cgy tho.
@@miguelf7709 I'm not a big Pettersson fan. I wish they would trade him.

As a Canucks fan, I’d love to see the Canucks go head to head with the Avs in the playoffs. Petey vs Mack. Huggy vs Makar. It’d be awesome! 🙌🏼

They don't have Kuzmenko....🗣️🗣️Go Flames
🗣️🗣️
@@HushPuppy106 enjoy the rebuild 🤡 you'll easily be bottom 5 in the league within the next 3 years
THE KUZMEISTER. WELCOME TO THE KUZMENKSHOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
That kid went off this year!!
Unreal debut. Special shoutout to that nasty feed by Hirose to close it out.
Hirose was really good for us
@@RySky_r6seige Lets see how this season goes.
Him and Peterson are the lifeblood of the Canucks
I love this player ! Good vid
Literally the most swag in the NHL. He trades things for food and I think it's hilarious😂.
Impressive! Scoring two highlight shootout goals against Markstrom, and now they're teammates in Calgary. Welcome aboard, Kuzmenko!
Andrei Kuzmenko has an amazing smile
Flames fans are in for a treat..ignore him being labelled a throw in..he will excel..wrong place wrong time for him with the Canucks.
Flames now 😎🔥🔥🔥
kids underrated lowkey
My favourite part was when Kuzmenko said it’s Kuzzin time and Kuzzed all over the ice
CofRed gonna love this guy

Kuzmenko new Bure
I mean... yeah bure.. But also no. Bure was a complete beast! Let's hope he gets there. 96!
Андрей молорик!
"No,no, Pepsi" love this guy already 😂
Welcome to the Calgary Flames!
Keep good care of him 😢
1:39 I was at that game
Pety and him are a nasty duo
HELL YEAH
My BOI
Can u do signature saves?
Flames 😮
5:46 Sedinary
Great player, but he should mix it up with some blocker side shots
Tocchet will ruin this kid...
This aged well
Tough year for the kid so far, hoping he can find this type of game again, unfortunately I just don’t think he fits tocchet’s system
Hi Canucks review before you lose him!!!!
Banana!!!!
Canucks made a big mistake trading this guy.
i still feel its to early to get his jersey:(
Go flames go
My favourite team is the oilers
Big tipper
Руки очень быстрые
Kuzmenko for Lafreniere?
Buddy is nice, too bad the nucks can’t perform defensively
They have hughs as team captain. Hopefully he can help them focus on their weak points, their first round pick was also a really good defenceman
