Hockey forward “Sochi” Matvei Mishkov in an interview with , he appreciated the episode that occurred during his match with “Cupid” .
This season, 19-year-old Michkov scored 29 (13+16) points in 32 KHL matches.
— Not so long ago there was a moment when Sergei Lapin, a 27-year-old Amur player, arrested you for hitting with a stick, then accused you of malingering and even challenged to combat: “Stop falling, it’s not working.” It doesn’t make you look good. You said, “You broke my lip.” It’s my job.” How did you react to this episode?
– It’s a game time, hockey. I don’t react at all. In life, I have nothing to complain about Lapin. Well yes, there was an outpouring of emotions there. On the contrary, it’s good. This is what makes us play and move forward.
– Yes, you behaved with restraint there.
— You always want to play in the majority so your team can score more goals. And if your opponent actually hits you in the face with their stick, it’s best to record it so the referee can see it too. Of course, in hockey there is no need to pretend. You must always stand upright. But there are times when you can play for the team,” Michkov told .
Sochi is in last place in the Western Conference with 34 points from 47 matches.
