“My yellow shoelaces are not necessarily Sasha Ovechkin’s style. I’ve had them since childhood, even with wax. By the way, Ovechkin has wax too.”
To play in the KHL, you have to sacrifice a whole year, leave aside other things. I’m not ready and I don’t want to do this. This requires careful preparation. Our guys spend three months preparing for the season, and even after that they train constantly all year round. Life is full of surprises and you can never be absolutely sure, but to play in the KHL, you have to invest several years of preparation. It’s all or nothing. If you want to play hockey at a high level, you have to leave everything else and devote yourself solely to hockey. Right now I have other responsibilities, and I have to be useful where I can be useful now. Today I was able to help the team win and I’m very happy about that. As head coach, I also intend to continue to help the team on the way to victories by making my contribution,” said the Championship correspondent quoting Rotenberg.
