This week the regular NHL season is to start. Prior to this event one of the best Russian ice hockey players, forward of Pittsburg Evgeniy Malkin shares his plans for the season.
When Malkin arrived in NHL in 2006 he was very shy and despite great achievements he always stayed in shadows behind his peer Sydney Crosby and his coyness.
The Malkin of the autumn-2010 is completely different – he became a media star ready and eager to contact with the press.
"Nothing extraordinary has happened to me," said the forward. "There is no big news: no wife, no children. Though I had a very good holiday. Moreover, I trained well in August and am ready for the championship."
"I cannot say that I am worried about anything now but of course I want to start the season well at once not seeking the play during several matches. I want to make a strong start – to score a beautiful and an important goal from the first minutes, make an assist and win in the very first match. Hopefully it will come true."
"Do not worry that I am a winger in the line. Look at how Crosby plays. Nominally he is a centre forward but spends plenty of time in the corners, behind the goal. Partners stand by him in these episodes."
"This is the general system of our game and there is nothing tragic about my playing on the wing."
"But do not do an Ovechkin of me – I will never become a classical winger and will never shoot for a hundred times per game. I will remain myself!"
