So, Ryan decided to avenge his teammate Kirill Kaprizov. Remember that the Russian was injured during the match against Winnipeg after being hit by Brenden Dillon.
For this stunt, Hartman was fined more than $4,000. And Perfeti received several stitches.
The former IIHF president said he could not imagine the Olympics without the teams of Russia and Belarus.
“Hartman said it in a respectful way. There was no disrespect, nothing personal. It had to happen, considering what happened to Kaprizov in the previous match. He directly said it “happened because of what happened before. but it’s strange, because I had nothing to do with what happened there and did nothing,” Perfetti quotes TSN .
