Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region telegram channel He criticized the KHL TV commentator who worked the match between local Torpedo and Beijing Kunlun.
“Dear Torpedo fans! 5:2. Who watched the match? This is literally the best victory. We lose 0:2 after two periods, but does anyone doubt that? The guys are great!
However! Who watched the broadcast on KHL-TV? I watched. I’m in Moscow today. The commentator told us “Volzhanians” with every word and clearly “suffered” for “Kunlun”. Direct text. Tragedy in the voice: “What a shame Kunlun lost again.” It’s impossible to listen to this!
It is worth preparing for the publications, we are not Volga residents, we are Nizhny Novgorod residents, “We are Torpedo residents.” Request: use trained and professional commentators for our matches,” Nikitin wrote.
The regular season match of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) ended with Torpedo’s 5:2 victory. After two periods, the Chinese club took a 2-0 lead. Commentator Artem Bozhko worked on the game.
Nizhny Novgorod club is leading the Western Conference standings with 10 points. Kunlun has eight points. The team is in fourth place.
