Guardian of UfaSalavat Yulaev » Alexander Samonov spoke about the pleasant atmosphere of the Fonbet All-Star Game of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
The 14th KHL All-Star Game began on December 9 at the SKA Arena in St. Petersburg.
– You scored a goal. Is this the first time this has happened to you in your life?
— On a conscious level, yes, for the first time. It happened completely by accident. It’s just that the opponent started to withdraw the goalkeeper earlier. Before the throw-in, my team said: “We will play for you, get ready.”
— Andrei Razin showed that time has already run out.
– Well, I don’t know. I was on short notice with the judges today, so they counted it.
— What do you think of the All-Star Game?
— Very pleasant atmosphere. My family and I live in St. Petersburg. So it’s doubly pleasant. Yes, it’s hockey, but a different kind. You can see someone, relax with loved ones, reboot. Not Dubai, but it’s cool here.
— How do you like the new arena? Will she change Peter’s life?
– I can’t say, time will tell. And I hope that a full stadium will gather for hockey in St. Petersburg.
— What do you think of the initiative to extend the KHL season until May? Your vacation will be shorter.
— Honestly, I can’t say. Whatever they do, they will do it. You know what kind of work we have. But if all this is enough, why not? — said Samonov for .
