“The situation is only getting worse and the officiating could ruin the entire playoffs. The referees’ errors accumulate. There has never been such a low level of refereeing in the history of the KHL! Even after serious errors, referees are reassigned to matches. I see the same judges on the ice all the time. At the same time, strong and independent referees are ignored.
If we don’t stop this management irresponsibility, we risk ruining the entire playoffs. Unfortunately, so far everything is going in this direction,” Kozhevnikov said, as quoted by Russia-Hockey.ru.
