Hockey expert Leonid Weisfeld on , he reacted to a curious episode of the Fonbet KHL championship match between SKA and Dynamo Minsk.
The meeting took place on Monday in St. Petersburg and ended with Dynamo’s victory in overtime (2:1 in extra time). In the third period, the visiting defender Robert Hamilton knocked the GoPro camera off referee Viktor Gashilov’s head while throwing the puck out of the zone.
“I’ve only seen this at a shooting range!” When they fire small arms. You have to hit exactly like that! When I was refereeing, the referees didn’t have cameras yet. At the beginning of my career (even) there were no helmets, then they were issued. But I have never seen such a precise success,” Weisfeld said on the air of the show “Everyone for the Match!”.
He also noted the fighting qualities of Minsk striker Roman Gorbunov, who scored a goal in the last meeting.
— Gorbunov is a strong player. It seems to me that he is the leader of Dynamo in spirit. He scores important goals, we have the impression that he has no authority with his opponents. He’s a very good player,” Weisfeld added.
Dynamo scored 53 points and ranks eighth in the Western Conference standings, SKA (73) is third.
