Offensive CSKA Mikhail Grigorenko after the victory over SKA (4-2) in the Fonbet Championship of the KHL, he told what the derby of these teams means to him.
– Mikhail, you played in the NHL. What can we compare the CSKA-SKA derby to?
“I don’t know,” Grigorenko told . – I didn’t get into good NHL teams, so for us all games were tough. But something looks like the Detroit-Colorado derby. I played a few games this way. In fact, in the NHL, every game is tough, and in terms of heat, you can compare it to absolutely any game.
– Why is Konstantin Okulov particularly good in games against SKA?
– Okulov flies around the site and all season. There is nothing surprising here. Konstantin has been the leader of CSKA for many years. And no one is surprised when Okulov arranges masterpiece matches.
Are you surprised when people say they are tired of watching the army derby? But the odds of the matches are very high.
– We meet in the playoffs every year, we play a series of six or seven matches. Before the series, it even happens that it is difficult to name a favorite. Two equal teams, and I think that whatever people say, the confrontation is very interesting.
– Did you hear that Dynamo Moscow goalkeeper Ilya Konovalov scored a goal against Torpedo?
– I haven’t seen live how the goalkeepers score. Only in video. Well, great, now many goalies have a great stick.
“What must you do to mark Alexander Sharychenkov?”
It must be a coincidence, I think. Or bring him to the throw when he joins the attack. Like in the movie “The Mighty Ducks”, when the goalkeeper threw from his gate.
The Muscovites scored 73 points and continue to go on the second row in the Western Conference standings, SKA is in first place with 84 points. The Petersburgers have already secured an early playoff exit.
