How Metallurg treated Ak Bars in the KHL game video review
” Dear friends ! I’m glad the stadium is full today. I am very happy that my career took place with such a full palace. I want to thank all the fans, all the hockey fans of the Ak Bars who throughout their careers have believed, worried about the team, for me.
I thank the teammates with whom I played during my career. Especially the troika partners Stas Galiev, with whom we took a Cup, Vova Tkachev, Alexei Alekseevich Morozov, who is here today, Sergei Zinoviev, Sergei Valerievich Mozyakin, who also came today to watch me, and , of course, Yan Kovarzh.
And the coaching staff of Metallurg, Ilya Petrovich, everyone I worked with. And also the management of Ak Bars for their trust all these years, for their faith!
And above all, I thank my family for always being there, for supporting me in difficult and joyful times. Thank you all, good luck to Metallurg, except for the matches with Ak Bars. And our team has fewer injuries, and we will still show up in the playoffs. I will be close. Thank you all!” Zaripov said.
