from Russia-Hockey, RU (translated),

Very much surprised that you were able to find me in Krasnoyarsk - the world champion in 2014 and silver medalist of the World Championship-2015 immediately took the initiative in their hands. - But in fact, this beautiful Siberian city - my second homeland. On the one hand is a graduate of Ust-Kamenogorsk and Magnitogorsk schools. On the other - from Krasnoyarsk my mother, three hundred kilometers in the direction of Irkutsk live other relatives. So I decided, one might say, here to settle down, to build a house. Forest, river, sea, hunting, fishing, Siberian expanses - an amazing place! Paradise!

Many of your fans are hoping that last season would be a breakthrough season. And you're in the "Carolina" is the first number, replacing veteran Cam Ward, who in the spring of 2014, you clearly outplayed. Alas, it turned out ...

I agree with you. Perhaps you can blame himself. But by and large I was not given a full chance to prove himself. The first half of last season was crumpled. Then, the situation has changed - but it was not the normal playing time, mostly sitting in reserve. As they say, it did not grow together.

A recent exchange became a surprise for you?

Yes, they marveled. Exchange - it's always an exchange, it is not fun much. Although generally more pleased.

Why?

"Anaheim" - one of the leaders of the NHL in recent years, a constant contender for the Stanley Cup in the "Ducks" can solve the high goals. Plus I really like California. As I say, California - it's not even America, it is a separate state (laughs).
