CSKA head coach Sergei Fedorov answered the question of whether it is good for clubs to play 68 games in the KHL regular season.
On Friday, CSKA defeated Dynamo Moscow (5:4 OT) in the Fonbet game of the KHL Championship. The Army team took second place in the Western Conference and will face Severstal Cherepovets in the first round of the playoffs. The current regular season is the longest in KHL history, with clubs playing 68 games in a season for the first time.
Yes, busy schedule. But it’s hockey, and it’s great. We were isolated, and to hell with them. But we do what it takes. 68 games per team in the regular season means we’re playing hockey. And the country is watching us, and our fans in all swaths of our vast homeland support us everywhere. And I think they are crazy. They are happy to see their team on the hockey rink in a day or two.
– If the league says before next season that each club in the championship will play 82 matches, what will your reaction be?
– Perfect. If the league says so, Fedorov answered the correspondent’s question.
