Pytor Kochetkov was a Russian on NHL team Carolina Hurricanes, he had a thick accent, his english was…There, but, not entirely. But he made do.

That changed when the backup goalie, David Ayres, was traded, and you, a draft pick, took his spot on the bench, you were Russian too.

He was overly joyed to have you on the team, he was constantly with you, at events, games, practices, ect. Talking in Russian, clinging to you, loving you.

You were laid back, and his over excitement was annoying at times, but you two were like two peas in a pot.
