Attack “Metallurgy” Maxim Karpov on , he said that goals and assists were of secondary importance to him compared to the goal of winning the Gagarin Cup.
Karpov has been playing for Metallurg since 2020 and this season he is one of the team’s assistant captains.
— Is there a goalie in the league that you haven’t scored against, but really want to score against?
– I do not remember. But Ufa has never scored on the road. There is such a thing. And he didn’t even beat her at home. He threw into an empty net and didn’t hit.
Of course, everyone, including me, wants to score points. But for me the main thing is to reach the final and win the Cup. [Гагарина]. Goals and assists come second, because I want to win the Cup,” Karpov said on .
