Offensive S.K.A. Dmitry Yashkin who became the top regular season sniper and scorer in the KHL Fonbet Championship, on spoke about his achievement and how his grandmother came to one of his matches.
The 29-year-old hockey player has played in 67 of 68 games in which he has scored 40 goals and collected 22 assists.
“If I set myself a mark of 40 goals, I reached it, I’m very happy about that,” Yashkin said. – At first I wanted 50, but then I realized that most likely it wouldn’t work. Then he lowered it to 40. It’s good that he reached it.
– Mozyakin, apparently, is happy that his record stood?
I think he will be happy if someone beats him. We will strive to achieve this.
– Why did you choose SKA in the summer?
– The decision was made after what I heard from Roman Borisovich [Ротенберга]. During the season, I feel very comfortable.
– On February 11, your grandmother in Omsk was supposed to come to your match. How was it?
– Fabulous! We had dinner together before the game. I saw relatives. I had been waiting for this for a very long time. Due to Avangard not playing at home for a long time. Grandma is not going anywhere due to health reasons. It’s a very cool moment.
– Was there semolina porridge with sandwiches?
– It was of course!
