GALIEV WANTS WJHC CHANCE

Stanislav Galiev kicked off Washington Capitals development camp on Monday.

Several folks on Twitter who attended the first day of camp mentioned that the speedy forward stood out among his fellow prospects – and in a good way. WeagleEye, who has been sending Station Nation messages from camp, said “he's fast, aware of everything on the ice, and has a great smile!”

In an interview with the Capitals blog Russian Machine Never Breaks, Galiev said that he wishes to play in the World Junior Hockey Championships this winter with the Russian team.

“I like North American-style hockey… it is faster, better, they hit harder.”

On the thing he misses most while in North America: “Friends.”

On goals: “[I want to] make the [Russian] World Junior Team.”

On being on the Caps: “It is incredible to be on a team with the best players in the world.”
