“If we talk about flights, then we were in the same conditions. We even found ourselves in better conditions as we had a direct flight. I think he landed in Novosibirsk, refueled and flew.
They offered us a pretty viscous hockey defense. Here is this Blevotinsky hockey that they offer us: you enter the zone with the puck, you make a lot of effort to get there, they just throw and they do not chase, they change, they take new players, ”said Panin.
