Athletistic / Hockey. Olympic hockey champion and now KHL Vice President of Development Valery Kamensky responded to the funny thing that happened last night with Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin. The 37-year-old Russian scored his own goal in the NHL regular season match against Arizona (2:5).
“This is an incident that can happen to absolutely anyone. There is nothing terrible in it. It is clear, it is an offensive mistake, but there will certainly be no serious reaction from Pittsburg. They will make a joke at Malkin’s expense and that’s it,” Kamensky quotes “Sport Express”.
