Russian coach Andrei Nazarov expressed the view that competition is an integral part of hockey and compared the sport to football. His words are quoted “Championship”.
“Hockey is not boring football where 0:0 scores are common and the norm. In such cases, a good man’s fight certainly won’t do any harm. If the game is not going well and something is not going well, then you definitely need to cheer up the players, let them relieve stress, also this is a good opportunity to change the course of the match.
In football, if you touch a person with your finger, he immediately falls and starts wandering around, but real men play hockey, everything is different here. “Fighting is normal for them,” Nazarov said.
