Russian defender “Tampa Bay Lightning » Mikhail Sergachev said he was trying to stay calm and positive despite the injury suffered during the NHL game against the New York Rangers.
Tampa lost to the Rangers on the road on Wednesday with a score of 1:3. In the second period, Sergachev tried to make a powerful move against Canadian Alexis Lafrenière on the boards, but unsuccessfully fell on his left leg. Sergachev was unable to leave the scene on his own, requiring a stretcher. The Russian left the ice in tears. Prior to the match against Rangers, the defender had not played since mid-December due to a leg injury.
– Why me? Why now? After all the missed matches, to come back and get injured again is unfair, terrible. I try to stay calm and positive, but it’s impossible. After doing everything correctly, I understand this. The universe is unpredictable and I guess it has its own agenda, but to hell with the universe. I know I will come back stronger and play better than before, but it’s hard now and it will be hard tomorrow. We all fight our battles, and this is mine. I will win, it’s always been like that. Painkillers are good, if I were alone in the forest in such a situation, I would already be dead. Crazy, right?
I wanted to write what I feel. I just wanted the people who care about me to know. I appreciate all your messages. “Thanks to the medical staff,” Sergachev wrote on the social network.
Sergachev is 25 years old. This NHL season, he played 34 games and scored 19 points (2 goals and 17 assists).
