Interview with Anze Kopitar

I love it when I can recommend a good interview - especially when it's one of the first our budding star has given since his ascencion to SoCal reverence. Here's a key excerpt on Anze Kopitar's co-operation with the coach, even though I would read the whole thing if I were you:

Q: Obviously you're high in coach Crawford's plans. Is his style much different than what you were accustomed to?

A: No. Actually, his character is very similar to that of my dad (Matjaz Kopitar is now a head coach of Acroni Jesenice, who are participating in Austrian national league EBEL with some success). He demands order and discipline and each player to give his maximum. I'm used to having a coach like that.

Kopitar for Kalder Trophy? ;)
