Defender”Pittsburgh » Dmitry Kulikov compared the behavior of fans at NHL games and in the KHL.
“Toronto in the NHL hasn’t won a series of Cups since 2004. During that time, the Canadian club was knocked out six times in the first round of the Stanley Cup, and was knocked out in the 2020 playoffs in qualifying.
– In the KHL, after the elimination of Metallurg in the second round of the Gagarin Cup, Steelworkers supporters chanted “shame”. Is this possible in the NHL?
– Everything can happen. Fans can chant “fire the coach” and can boo. In Toronto, in general, team jerseys are thrown on the ice, and it’s even worse than just shouting “shame”.
– There was a case when fans entered the locker room for “Spartak” and severely reprimanded the players. This season, fans also boarded the Ak Bars club bus after the team’s disastrous run.
– Well, the bus, probably too. Where was the guard at that time? How could they even get there?
– They were specially admitted…
– Probably, this tactic: let the supporters go if they don’t listen to the coach, so that they hear them and don’t play badly. I’ve never had anything like this,” Kulikov told .
