Weisfeld: “In the game “Torpedo” – “Avangard”, the work of the judges disappointed me”

Public official and well-known hockey expert Leonid Weisfeld called the quality of the work of the judges at the start of the season in the Fonbet Championship KHL high, despite a few unsuccessful matches.

– In the episode with Chistyakov there was a clear moment, there can not be two opinions. Always in such situations, I say: “I wonder by what the judges were guided?”. I usually ask Alexei Anisimov (chief referee of the KHL. – About “”): “And what did the judges themselves say?” Everyone saw the strong welcome from the Avangard player and a blow to the shoulder. Maybe the referees had some sort of extra camera.

As for Prince and the episode of the match between Salavat Yulaev and Spartak, I don’t think the Moscow striker should have canceled the “5 + 20” following the results of the KFOR match. There is a borderline situation, there was a stick contact with the foot of the hockey player Ufa Tsulygin. And if the situation is borderline, then you have to take the side of the judges.

Of course, many experienced referees have left, it’s touching. In general, I like the way they judge in the KHL, but in the game Torpedo – Avangard, the work of the referees disappointed me. The takedown of the torpedo player for delaying the game at the end is also weird, where if they pressed the puck against the board it was literally for a second. There are bad games for the players, and there are referees. But in general, I think the quality of our refereeing is high, even despite the departure of experienced guys, – said Weisfeld “Championship “.

Previously, the Sports and Disciplinary Committee of the Continental Hockey League (KHL SDK) had canceled the sanction imposed on defender Avangard Semyon Chistyakov (5 + 20). This decision was made after reviewing the match episode “Torpedo” — “Avant-garde” (4:2) and on the basis of the documents submitted.
