Metallurg suffered a technical defeat. After the match, Razin announced the need to change the schedule of pre-season tournaments.
– There is a double situation here. I think that pre-season games are necessary. Maybe there should be a few of them so that we don’t get tired of them. Pre-season games are usually played with fatigue and we don’t always appreciate this kind of hockey. I would like there to be some kind of middle ground.
— Was there a violation of the rules during the collision between Vovchenko and Abrosimov?
“I think it was a pure power move.” Tough, but clean,” Poryadin said on the airwaves of the “Loud!” show on .
