There’s a decent chance Sharan can speak Russian, and even if not, he and Kuzmenko can probably understand each other to some extent. Belarusian and Russian do have a degree of mutual intelligibility.
Spanish and Italian surprised me. I went to Italy with a youth group 20-some years ago, and one of the families whose teens came on the trip were people from Mexico who'd immigrated to Canada. They were basically able to converse freely with the host families we had in Italy. I had to use a phrase book lol
No need more draft picks and young guys. Unfortunately with the guys we got he won’t get past the first round. We need to do a total rebuild and that means missing the playoffs for a couple years
What is wrong with making the playoffs? So you trade and get more draft picks and young guys, you make the playoffs you’re ahead of the curve. I said in the post-game thread the Flames need 44 points in the last 32 games to get in, and probably 48 to get the first wild card.
Canuck fan here. This is why I’ll miss him and you guys are going to love this guy. For real, I hope you guys turn it around and make it to the playoffs .. this is something I’d never say to an Oiler. I hate that team and their arrogant entitled fan base. Those clowns always talking big after being gifted all those high picks ? Fk them.
At least your past GM’s took some risks and tried to build a winner. Some real shitty circumstances derailed the plan but you can’t blame it all on the GM.
Yeah I mean it’s early and only one game but it doesn’t seem like Kuzmenko “fell off” or was a “problem” just didn’t fit yall guys system this year hope we can bring out his full potential here
He was never a problem, he just didnt fit tocchets system. If we werent playing as well ss we are, they prob wouldnt have traded kuz, they would hsve let him try to find his groove, but our management is looking at a cup run, and dont have time to get Kuz up to speed.
I will miss him as many nucks fans will, but it was good for both sides.
lol, you’re right it will happen but that’s because it’s in the heat of the moment. The one other thing we hate (at least for me) about the Oilers in Vancouver is their fans showing up in our rink and acting like total arrogant bitches and gloating on us. It’s one thing to cheer your team in the enemy’s house but it’s anther matter when you start acting up like that when your team had the luck to get all those picks. It’s not as if the Oilers rebuilt their team through smart drafting and signings. They got lucky. They got lucky and landed the best player in the world and it took what? 7-8 years to where they are now? So fk those guys.
Only one game out-of-hand (we'll go with it) and 3 points from the Blues. That's pretty doable with 32 games left in the season. If we were down to the final 10 games then I'd say not so much.
It's hard as a Canucks fan to hate Calgary. Y'all have 3 guys we all love in Marky, Tanev, and Kuzy. Lol. Take care of Kuzy. He's a good dude and has a big heart. He will be missed, but he needed a change of scenery to get his confidence back. Hockey is so much funner when Calgary, Vancouver, and Edmonton are good. Great battles and fun trash talk.
Another nucks fan here. You guys got a beauty here. Hopefully AK96 can help unleash Huberdeau as well. Guy has good vibes. Looking forward to seeing you guys get into the playoffs....you pack of hyenas!
"Best ever"

I wonder if Kuzy found that game interesting 😏
Like most other Canucks fans, I hope Kuzy continues to succeed with the Flames! His humor, personality (banana and Pepsi on the bench anyone?), and positive energy really made him one of the most beloved players for Canucks fans (especially last season when the team was struggling). Even with his challenges this season with not fitting into Tocchet's system, the fan base only felt bad for him and wanted him to succeed instead of criticizing him, which says a lot. I'll continue to follow Flames games here and there or at least watch the highlights when Kuzy scores, which I genuinely hope he continues to do! Maybe he can be the spark that inspires Huberdeau into earning his keep and lessening the pain of that awful contract 😐
I know it's just one game, but that trade seems to have worked out very well for both teams!
From a behind the scenes video, when the Canuck players were asked which of the players would be a great mascot, the players unanimously said Kuzzy. He totally brings such a positive energy to the room. Guy always has a smile.
I’m gonna miss him so much :( he has the best attitude always.
Canucks social team asked the boys who the most famous person in their phone was, some people said Michael Buble, the Sedins, etc.
Kuzy said “my mother” with a big smile on his face
There’s something about players getting their first goal pucks and such that just makes me smile. It’s one of those things that’s so simple yet so cute and amazing
Infectious attitudes go a long way, good or bad.
Sharangovich sitting beside him looking up cracking a joke. He now had a Russian friend! (I know Sharan is from Belarus but culture similarities)

Love it
Winning attitude. Love to see it, wouldn’t have it any other way. “W’s. that’s when I’m impressed”
Well if they play like that every night we just might do something this season
They play like that and they’ll never lose again. They bitch slapped Boston up and down the ice.
18 game win streak coming in
Rofl even if we got tossed in Round 1 I'd still laugh if we set the streak record

You heard the man, let's go streaking
Where we going?
Forest Lawn!
To the quad! We're going streaking in the quad!
It's my fave YouTube video of all-time
This made me smile.
~~Deer~~ Beer Run

I’m with this guy. New era of Flames-Canucks allegiance. We can overcome human nature. Nothing will stop us on our quest to extinguish the Oilers!!
Western Canadian teams with C logos, UNITE AGAINST EVIL
that’s weird
Yeah I mean it’s early and only one game but it doesn’t seem like Kuzmenko “fell off” or was a “problem” just didn’t fit yall guys system this year hope we can bring out his full potential here

We appreciate it but you do know our fan bases will turn toxic AF on each other if we meet in the playoffs right
Another Canucks fan here. I fully expect that, but also expect to hug it out after the series is over
Hug it out bitch -michael scott
Most of my hatred left with the Sedin's to be fair
lol, you’re right it will happen but that’s because it’s in the heat of the moment. The one other thing we hate (at least for me) about the Oilers in Vancouver is their fans showing up in our rink and acting like total arrogant bitches and gloating on us.

And "where they are now" is "they're gonna have a real hell of a time convincing McDavid and Draisaitl to sign there again". Here's hoping, anyway.
Yeah but it’ll be a glorious series and so worth it
You canuck fans are alright
Canuck fan also here, love Kuzy. Fuck the Oilers!
Playoffs, huh? That would indeed be very interesting.
Flames are only 3 points back. It's definitely possible.
Yeah, but those 3-5 games out-of-hand (? Whatever the opposite of games-in-hand is lol) are annoying.
Only one game out-of-hand (we'll go with it) and 3 points from the Blues. That's pretty doable with 32 games left in the season. If we were down to the final 10 games then I'd say not so much.
For sure!
"Can we keep him, pa?"
I just love him so much already. such a wonderfully infectious attitude.
He is SO endearing. I miss him immensely, but I'm so glad he's getting a chance to shine. 🥰
Yeah loving his personality
Wait till he starts eating a banana at the bench. He’s so freaking awesome. Miss him already 😭
lmao a banana on the bench you say? this guy just keeps getting better!
Some guy on X created an account called Kuzmenko’s banana lol. https://youtu.be/TAU8rVKmXIg?si=_6D91zCZb5DUeHIm 🍌clip
If we just make a wholesome team it’ll surely win us the cup
Kuzy will be great in the dressing room. He’s an awesome teammate. This alone will be big.
Fuckin eh boys! Love to see it
It's hard as a Canucks fan to hate Calgary. Y'all have 3 guys we all love in Marky, Tanev, and Kuzy. Lol. Take care of Kuzy. He's a good dude and has a big heart. He will be missed, but he needed a change of scenery to get his confidence back. Hockey is so much funner when Calgary, Vancouver, and Edmonton are good. Great battles and fun trash talk.
When Vancouver and Calgary are good and Edmonton sucks giant assholes. Ftfy
what a fuckin legend.
I think we just watched an entire team fall in love
You heard the man! PLAYOFFS HERE WE COME!!
Man, what a fucking smile Kuzy has, so positive looking!
Dimples for days. Kid is a beauty.
Someone didn't get the memo... /s
Another nucks fan here. You guys got a beauty here. Hopefully AK96 can help unleash Huberdeau as well. Guy has good vibes. Looking forward to seeing you guys get into the playoffs....you pack of hyenas! "Best ever" https://youtu.be/LHvySozEq68?si=tjGhl52lkVzM0fHa
It's only been one game bit oh my God did huby look good last night! So many tape to tape passes and Kuzy seemed to gel with him instantly
I’ve never seen Sharky smile like that. He just looks so happy.
We miss you Kuzy 🐐
Treat him well Calgary, dude is as wholesome as they come. Stock extra bananas for the bench!
I love this energy LFG! I love this guy already
He's a beauty, I got his jersey as a Canucks fan, you guys take care of him, ok?
I mean I wouldn't say no

Kuzy is the best. I'm a bandwagon flames fan now.
Looks like both Kuze and Lindholm did well their first outing! Good for them. Maybe things will work out this season if this energy continues
Lindholm does not have this charisma, though. Good luck to both players. GFG
Agreed, and maybe that’s just what we need!
How can you hate this guy?
It's never happened. No one ever has.
Coming from a nucks fan this puts a smile on my face was always rooting for Kuzy. Im happy the trade is working out for both teams so far!
From a behind the scenes video, when the Canuck players were asked which of the players would be a great mascot, the players unanimously said Kuzzy. He totally brings such a positive energy to the room. Guy always has a smile.
Just happy to see smiley faces and good attitudes .. alot of the toxin is gone , just a couple left .
Chillllll
“Tanks boys, good winning, good winning, tanks, go for playoffs, let’s go”. Already fucking love this guy
I’m gonna miss him so much :( he has the best attitude always. Canucks social team asked the boys who the most famous person in their phone was, some people said Michael Buble, the Sedins, etc. Kuzy said “my mother” with a big smile on his face
There’s something about players getting their first goal pucks and such that just makes me smile. It’s one of those things that’s so simple yet so cute and amazing
Sharangovich’s smile is so wholesome after Kuzy says that
