Dynamo Minsk striker Vadim Shipachev on , he said that the criticism had motivated him to continue his career.
At the end of October, in the FONBET KHL championship match against Severstal Cherepovets (2:5), forward Shipachev scored an assist and scored the 929th point (291+638) in the championship, including the playoffs. In terms of scoring in the KHL, 37-year-old Shipachev surpassed former Metallurg forward Sergei Mozyakin, who had 928 points (419+509).
— Is it really possible to finish the match up to 41-42 and generally beat Mozyakin’s record, taking into account the Super League?
– No, no. I don’t even plan that. Year after year you go there and you already see how it will turn out. You don’t want to suffer when you realize you can no longer do something. Even reluctantly. Why take someone else’s place? Even though all my life I was told that I was slow, that I was taking someone else’s place, that I should end it. Even at 20, I was told I had to finish. And every year they tell me: “Finish it, finish it!” » My favorite haters, thank you very much! I couldn’t have done it without you! (smiles) – said Shipachev on .
In mid-October, Shipachev took to the ice in the FONBET KHL championship match against Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik and set a league record for the number of matches. At that time, he played his 1002nd game in the KHL.
