“It’s not about Luke Tardif, he just executes other people’s decisions. He just signs the paper: ‘yes, I agree’. I understand that without the Russian team, the interest for the competition disappears. Why are the Finns and Swedes so persistent? They have never been friendly to us. We always beat them, we are their closest competitors. They vote against them to take the place of the winners . We must continue to prepare and work. They cannot live without us. They will rummage like mice in a cage, they will not go anywhere. They have no conscience or honor, they understand everything. Let’s be patient and prepare our hockey for 2026,” Mikhailov said in an interview with a Championship correspondent.
