Before “Lokomotiv” Ivan Chekhovich noted that it was interesting for him to see how the attacker Pavel Datsyuk entirely placed on ice.
The 2023/24 season is the first in KHL history in which teams from different conferences will face each other from the second round. As part of the cross-playoffs of the Fonbet KHL Championship, Lokomotiv will play the quarter-finals with Avangard Omsk.
— We are from the same city, so since childhood we loved Datsyuk – everyone talked about him. He’s probably one of the most outstanding players in general. It seems to me that he is the most brilliant.
A few years ago, during his last season, we went on the ice together. Datsyuk still did amazing things, just a sight for sore eyes! It was very interesting to see how he devoted himself to his work,” Chekhovitch said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Datsyuk won the Stanley Cup twice with Detroit. He also won the Gagarin Cup with SKA.
