The head coach of the “tractor” GRU – about the match between the players of the NHL and the KHL: “We must look at the advantages and disadvantages of this idea”
The head coach of Tractor Benois GRU said that it is important to look at the advantages and disadvantages of the idea of holding a match between American and Russian players from the NHL and KHL.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump during a telephone conversation supported the idea of Russian President Vladimir Putin to organize hockey matches in the USA and Russia between Russian and American players performing in the NHL and the KHL.
– Is it possible to compare this with the 1972 super -series?
– When was it announced? A few minutes ago? I will probably check it myself. Okay, no problem. Please contact me this question next time.
– How do you hypothetically feel about the idea of conducting such a match?
– I do not want to comment on rumors and hypothetical ideas. I have to think about it. We must see what this idea can have advantages and disadvantages. I apologize that I can’t give you an answer, but I have to think about it.
– Would you like to see such a match?
– When I was the coach of the Canadian youth team in 2015, we won gold medals. At that moment, we understood that we won the best team at this championship, that is, Russia. If Russia were at the youth world championship, the adult World Cup and the Olympics, it would be better, the correspondent of Match TV reports the GRU.
