The final of the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship took place in Buffalo, America. After two periods, the Russians lost with a score of 0: 3, but in the third period they managed to score five unanswered goals.
— Final against Canada. After two periods, the score is 0:3. How did you manage to turn the situation around?
— Many were energized by the fact that Tarasenko received a very hard blow to the ribs in the second period. He came to play and showed himself as a leader – that pushed the team forward.
— Tarasenko went out to play injections?
– Yes, he received a very painful blow. My ribs hurt,” Garipov was quoted as saying by Metaratings.ru.
