Defender S.K.A. Mikhail Pashnin called the army derby “an advertisement for hockey” and admitted that in front of 12,000 spectators in St. Petersburg, the teams wanted to show a good game.
On Wednesday, SKA lost in St. Petersburg to Moscow CSKA in the Fonbet KHL Championship game (1:2).
– Two good teams played today. When 12 thousand comes, I want to play beautifully. But how did it happen… The army derby is always a public holiday. If you look at previous matches, you can see the intensity of the passions. These matches are never boring. This is a hockey ad. The fact that I started my career at CSKA? There’s nothing in my head about it. Now I’m in SKA, it’s my family. SKA does everything for the fans, today the guys organized a holiday for children, dressed in Santa Claus costumes. I especially remember when we played at Gazprom Arena. Unreal were the emotions, the goosebumps. Fans drive the team forward, we give them emotions in return,” Pashnin told reporters.
In the Western Conference table, SKA (71 points) takes first place, followed by Lokomotiv (58), CSKA (57) and Torpedo (53), Vityaz (44) is seventh.
