The SKA striker found himself under the force of Nikita Kholodilin. After the match, Rotenberg accused Avangard head coach Mikhail Kravets of ordering Tolchinsky to get injured.
However, the judges found no violations in this episode. Subsequently, the sports disciplinary commission also did not impose sanctions on Kholodilin.
Rotenberg spoke about the demonstrative refusal of the players of the Russian junior hockey team to receive awards at the tournament in Belarus
“Sergei is a very talented and hardworking guy. And he is taking the hit! Thank God it turned out that he was not injured. After all, millimeters always decide fate. There is a fine line.
We train a lot to withstand the blow in such situations. And it will benefit everyone. We are finally going to get this dirt out of hockey. And the guys will also be more collected. Somewhere you have to strike a blow, somewhere you have to launch a preemptive strike.
But everything must be according to the rules! Underhanded hits are not allowed in any sport. Neither in boxing, nor in fights without rules. And in hockey, sneaky hits must be punished. This shouldn’t happen! » Match TV quotes Rotenberg.
