Evgeny Kuznetsov owes a dollar to the swear jar… again.

Kuznetsov cursed on live TV after the overtime hero was interviewed by Al Koken.

Kuznetsov was answering a question about Tom Wilson standing up for him after the Avalanche’s Ian Cole suckered him with a dirty headshot.

“We know Tom play physical and he’s huge for us. When sh*t like that happen, he stand up. That’s always nice to have a guy like that on the team,” Kuznetsov said.

Kuznetsov also cursed twice during a postgame interview. The Russian center was asked about the points he’s been racking up since the bye week.

“Like I said before, since beginning, I try to play the right game, I try to listen to coach, I try to learn some new stuff for me,” Kuznetsov said. “Sometimes you don’t have any goals, you don’t have any points, you can’t dangle anybody one-on-one, it’s sh*t. Sh*t happens sometimes. You have to keep working. The Hockey Gods will give back. Two games in a row, he help us a little bit with the goals. Like Ovi said, if you believe in your game you find your game you have to stay with it and stay focused.”

This isn’t the first time Kuznetsov has cussed on live television. Back in March 2018, he revealed that Capitals PR has told him to stop swearing so much in interviews.

“I can’t swear anymore, you know?” Kuznetsov said. “Sergey get p*ssed at me.”

That didn’t deter Kuznetsov for long, who famously yelled “let’s f*ck this sh*t” when it was his turn to give a speech at the Capitals Stanley Cup parade.

Kuzy admitted later that when he gets nervous, he starts swearing.

At the start of the 2018-19 season, when Kuznetsov was asked about being in consideration for top-five players in the NHL, he responded that he “doesn’t give a sh*t about that.”

Just this past week, Kuznetsov’s response to being benched for too many stick infractions? That sh*t happens.
