The Minnesota Wild have been bad during the 2023 NHL season, but they do feature one guy on the team who is a certified mad man.
Kirill Kaprizov grew up in a tough environment in a small village in Siberia and made a name for himself in the KHL before the Minnesota Wild selected him in the fifth round of the 2015 NHL Draft.
The Minnesota Wild forward was named the 2020-21 Calder Trophy winner as the top player in his first year. He was everywhere they year as he led all rookies in goals (27), power-play goals (eight), points (51), and shots on goal (157). He also led the Wild in goals and points, playing a huge part in the team qualifying for the postseason.
This week, the Russian native is going viral for his admission on how he takes baths.

“A bath with deer antlers?… I’ve been doing it for a long time. As they explained to me, it’s just better for your health. You feel better. Immunity is better.
I don’t know if it’s true, but I believe in it, it seems to me that it’s right.”
Do what you will with that information.
