“The biggest disappointment is the refereeing. The best match of the season – in Nizhny – was spoiled by the referees. We have very intrusive refereeing, sometimes it seems that the KHL referees are the main stars And some referees look like turkeys – they pout and show their own importance.
In general, we see very encouraging hockey in the KHL, there is a shift towards attack, a lot of goals are scored. Unfortunately, refereeing is the weak link in our league,” Kozhevnikov told Russia-Hockey.ru.
