Honored Russian hockey coach Yuri Novikov compared the level of refereeing in the KHL and the NHL.
— I sometimes watch NHL games. I can say that our referees work better and more fairly. In the NHL, some suppressions are missed, which we constantly challenge. There, the referees pronounce expulsions only in extreme situations. They give you the opportunity to break the rules a little. I would definitely say that our refereeing is a “four,” RB Sport quotes Novikov.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship kicks off on September 3 with a match between Gagarin Cup winner Magnitogorsk Metallurg and playoff finalist Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.
