Former Edmonton Oilers goaltender Ben Scrivens has moved on from the NHL, heading overseas to play in the Kontinental Hockey League. He recently spoke with Russian journalist Igor Eronko, and had a lot to say about his career and former team.
The popularity of Scrivens’ interview arose when he commented on Oscar Klefbom’s wrongly-translated thoughts on Taylor Hall. In the full Russian interview with Sports Express, Scrivens had a lot more to say.
