“I can understand Razin perfectly. We have no right to condemn him” – Tereshchenko

Three-time world hockey champion Alexei Tereshchenko said he understands Metallurg Magnitogorsk head coach’s emotions Andrei Razin who sent hockey players off the ice during the game against Neftekhimik after the referees failed to send off Roman Abrosimov for a forceful gesture against Daniil Vovchenko.

On Wednesday, during the Ivan Romazan memorial match between Metallurg and Neftekhimik, Vovchenko was hit by Abrosimov and fell unconscious on the ice. The Metallurg hockey player was carried from the venue on a stretcher in a special fixation device. After watching the video replay, the judges found no rule violations on the part of Abrosimov. Ural head coach Razin took the team to the locker room, and Metallurg suffered a technical defeat.

— Razin’s departure from the ice with his players was his decision. He is the head coach and he has the right to do so. I can perfectly understand a specialist. A friendly match is taking place, and one of the leaders is seriously injured. These are emotions. I think Andrei Alexandrovich will still calm down. He is an adult and experienced person. But emotions in hockey have always existed, are and will be. Without them, sport is impossible. Whether they are positive or negative is another matter. In any case, I have no right to condemn Razin for his action, “Tereshchenko was quoted as saying by RT.

After the match, Razin wrote on his Telegram channel that “he does not consider hockey players people whose priority is to ‘kill’ an opponent rather than score a goal.” And he explained the decision to remove the players from the ice by saying that he “could not let the match turn into a massacre,” since during the remaining time of the match, the Metallurg hockey players would begin to take revenge on their injured teammate.
