Evgeny Kuznetsov breaks stick, continues to play with tinier stick during warmups

Monday night, Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the game-winning overtime goal and dropped an f-bomb postgame to describe Alex Ovechkin’s terrific carer.

Now, thanks to a video posted by Capitals Outsider’s Brandon Alter (follow here), we know that Kuznetsov’s personality was on full display during warmups too.

At some point during the pregame skate, Kuznetsov’s stick broke in half. But look, you guys, he’s a half-glass full kind of a person. He didn’t let that stop him.

Kuzy continued playing with his shattered twig, finishing his passing game with Swedish bean Andre Burakovsky.

Never change, Kuzy.
