Nikulin wciąż bloguje /c.d/

Aleksander Nikulin spuścił nieco z tonu w ostatnim czasie i rzadziej pisał, w lutym jednak pojawiły się dwa wpisy. Młody Rosjanin już w kilku miejscach podkreślał, że nie żałuje decyzji o pozostaniu w AHL:

I’ve played 40 games for Binghamton. There remain 30-something games until the end of the regular season. Half a season. I don’t regret anything. I’ve adapted to the league. I understand the local hockey. Of course, I want to play in the NHL, but I think I’ve made the right decision by staying in the AHL for the adaptation.

O zdarzeniu z udziałem Richarda Zednika:

On Sports.ru I recently watched the episodes with the linesman Pat Dapuzzo and Richard Zednik. What can I say, it’s a horrible thing. I couldn’t even bring myself to watch the replay of the injury to Zednik. I hope everything will be okay with him. But this won’t influence me. I will not be afraid. You see, this could happen to anyone. If you worry about every hit, then perhaps you should choose another sport. Ping pong, for instance.

O kontuzjach:

Injuries occur all the time. One of my Binghamton teammates dislocated his shoulder at practice during an exercise which had no physical contact. He was just unlucky, he fell down. As for myself, I haven’t had anything like this happen (knock on wood). Well, I did get a stick in the face once.

Nikulin w 48 meczach w AHL uzbierał jak dotąd 34 punkty [9G, 25A] i jest szósty pod względem zdobyczy punktowych wśród debiutantów. Tylko punkt mniej ma Ilja Zubow.
