Mailbag #45: Andrei Svechnikov

RALEIGH, NC. -Do you call it a lacrosse goal? The Michigan? The Svech?
Thankfully you're off the hook for answering questions right now, and instead, the man who nets the electrifying goals is instead on the hot seat.
Here is what he had to say about what you wanted to know.

(Note: Some questions have been edited for clarity.)
What's your favorite thing to do on an off day? - @Jacobs4858
Lay in bed and watch a movie. Something on Netflix.
What's the best movie you've watched recently?
It was a show called Untold. There was one about a football player and it was unbelievable. But if I had to give you a movie, I recently watched World War Z again. It came out in like 2013, so I'd seen it before, but it was so good that I watched it again.
Favorite meal to eat in Raleigh? - @HHandorf / @AmandaRaquel104 / @jerrybarajes\_
For dinner?
Sure!
Probably The Capital Grille.
What's your favorite traditional Russian meal? - @RadDadRusty
Just Borscht, honestly.
My mom makes it all the time and it is always so good.

Besides PNC Arena, what is your favorite place to play in the league? - @kaci\_csellar / @hmorrs24
Vegas. T-Mobile Arena.
Why?
It's brand new and the sound system there is awesome. It's so cool to play there. It's always noisy the whole game and it's always a good time.
What's your coffee order? - @hrryiana
An Iced White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks.
Aside from being an awesome forward and all-around great guy, is Pyotr living in your new house? - @janet\_doolittle
No.
Any magic trick updates? - @evanlucy
No, not really. In my second year I was doing magic but that kind of stopped.
Who is your favorite person in the league to play against? - @emmarae\_14
It's tough, there are so many good guys to play against in the league and I try and enjoy playing against them all.
I have to say my brother though.
What makes it so fun to play against him?
It's always a special night when you play against your brother. You grew up together, you were raised together and now you're playing against him in the NHL. It's special.

What keeps you motivated to keep becoming a better player? - @rxebeca
That's just how I was raised, to be honest. I hate to lose. I hate to lose at anything.
I love to win and that's all that matters to me.
What's been your favorite moment as a Hurricane so far? - @kaci\_csellar
Can I say two?
Of course.
The first one would be the lacrosse goal that I scored at PNC.
The second would be my rookie year when we went to the semifinals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That was a lot of fun.

How would you like to be remembered as a Canes player when he inevitably retires from hockey? - @AceCaniac
I want to be remembered as someone who was a good player and a good person.
Hopefully, I will be remembered as someone who won the Stanley Cup a couple of times, too.
