During the 2021/22 season the Minnesota Wild dealt with the challenges of integrating multiple young players onto their roster. Integrating new players is a difficult task, that becomes even more difficult when a player does something similar to the mistake that was made by Kirill Kaprizov.

Kaprizov was in his 2nd year in the NHL in 2021-2022, and he put up 108 points in 82 games, but his soundbites are the best:

Not that obscure but when Kirill was mad he wasn't with all the vets and top players in training camp so he tried to text Spurgeon but he accidentally texted in a group chat with every player in camp «what the fuck I want to be with best players not shit players.»

Kirill was put with the taxi squad in training camp before the season started due to the fact he hasn't been in the league long enough to be with the veterans. But he went onto make a massive group chat blunder.

That soundbite you'd think would set the locker room on fire, but Foligno reading the text in a Russian accent is just hilarious.

Here's Jared Spurgeon on the text:
