Saint Petersburg head coach S.K.A. Romain Rotenberg said the club will approach the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and the Russian Hockey Federation (FHR) after the takeover incident against the striker Zakhara Bardakova in a pre-season match with Novosibirsk”Siberia “.
On Friday, SKA beat Sibir 6-3 in the pre-season tournament match Nikolai Puchkov. Rotenberg was sent off in the second half for reacting to the powerful reception of “Siberia” defender Ilya Morozov against Bardakov
– I ran on the ice because I thought Bardakov had been killed. We already had a similar situation when Kirill Tankov was hit, his life was saved. Who needs it? The judges went to dinner, to rest. They have no responsibility. We will contact KHL and FHR. We have to think about how to avoid this, ” correspondent reports in Rotenberg’s words.
The specialist explained why, after the withdrawal, he went to the fans on the podium.
“We have to be there for our fans no matter what. There are times when things don’t go as planned. That’s the beauty of hockey. The theater has a scenario, here not. I felt like I had to be close to the fans. I was forbidden to stand next to the players, so I went to the stands. We were one big family,” Rotenberg added.
In the opening game of the new KHL season, the Saint Petersburg team will face Dynamo Moscow on September 2.
