Bobrovsky entered the Panthers’ championship parade wrapped in the Russian flag. In the last playoff series, Florida beat the Edmonton Oilers in seven games.
– Sergey is great! There, fans also support if, after a victory, (the hockey player) raises the Russian flag. Why be surprised? That’s how it should be. Regardless of the country a person considers himself a citizen of, that’s how he shows himself. Bobrovsky is a Russian citizen.
“It has long been said that the NHL does not have the nasty things that exist in Europe. They do not have Russophobia. Maybe the American government does – the walking robot, of course, does. But ordinary people are normal people, they maintain relationships,” Kozhevnikov told .
Bobrovsky played 24 games in the last NHL playoffs, won 16 victories with a reliability coefficient of 2.32 and 90.6% of saved shots. He won the Stanley Cup for the first time in his career.
