It's February 24th. Here's your San Jose Sharks news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. San Jose Sharks winger Filip Kurashev had an exciting Olympic debut with Switzerland at the Milan Games. He marched with his teammates in the opening ceremony and then hit the ice for all five of Switzerland's games. Kurashev scored his first Olympic goal against Italy and added two assists along the way. He even got promoted to the first line after Los Angeles Kings star Kevin Fiala suffered a season-ending injury during the round-robin matchup against Canada.
What were Philip Kurashev's experiences during his Olympic debut?
Switzerland fought hard but fell in the quarterfinals to Finland, the eventual bronze medal winners, by a score of 3-2 in overtime. Khrushchev called the whole experience special, with Olympic rings everywhere on the boards and ice. He loved representing his country, even though they wished for a stronger finish. The play fell faster and more intense, making shots from the boards extra dangerous, but it kept things fun and interesting. Swiss fans travel less than 200 miles to cheer them on, creating a great atmosphere with their usual support. Khrushchev also had family and friends in the stands, and he got to face off against his own Sharks teammate, Macklin Celebrini, who played on Canada's powerhouse line with Connor McDavid and Nathan McKinnon.
That line was lightning fast and tough to handle, as everyone saw in Canada's 5-1 win over Switzerland.
Khrushchev wished they had a better way to defend them, but just tried to limit chances. He caught some other events on TV, too, cheering Swiss skiers and medalists from home.
