Defender of Ak Bars Alexey Marchenko commented on the decision of the International Hockey Federation (IIHF) to extend the suspension of the Russian national team.
The IIHF on Monday extended the suspension of the Russians for the 2024/25 season due to the situation in Ukraine. The Russian Hockey Federation (RFH) called the decision discriminatory.
— The IIHF extended the disqualification of Russia…
– I can’t influence that. What can I do? You must control what you can control.
— Victory in class?
— Bilyalov scored and at the right time we scored.
— Bilyalov has the seventh “cracker”…
“It’s always good when there’s someone to save.” Great, he helps us when we make mistakes. Amir and Timur help us.
— Is the team at its peak?
— There is always something to add. We need to be better and better,” Marchenko said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Ak Bars beat Neftekhimik on Monday with a score of 3:0. Thanks to this victory, the Kazan team qualified ahead of schedule for the Gagarin Cup playoffs.
