— For every coach, for every hockey player, it is a dream to play in front of full stands in the largest arena in the world. Emotions indescribable without more words. The best thing that can happen in the career of anyone associated with sports is hockey. Nothing more to add. I hope it will be like that every game.
— After Alexei Miller’s speech, some journalists even shed a tear. What were your emotions?
