Lokomotiv forward Surin: “Wil hit me with his glove, but the judges say he didn’t mean to”

Lokomotiv forward Yegor Surin, after the defeat to Dynamo Moscow, said that he did not understand some of the refereeing decisions.

On Wednesday, the railway workers lost to Dynamo with a score of 0:1 in an away match of the regular Fonbet KHL championship. At the end of the second period, Surin was punished with a double fine for a fight with Dynamo forward Jordan Weal; the Canadian striker was not sent off.

— It was a close game, both teams played well defensively, there weren’t many chances. I think this is a great experience for the team. Some issues need to be resolved.

— Hartley says that the main problem of the past matches in your team was discipline.

– What can I say? We must not leave. We are working on this. It’s clear that no one wants to leave, but it’s all out of great desire.

— Were you surprised that you were the only one removed after the clash with Wil?

“He hit me first.” I didn’t understand the judges at all. They say that he did not beat me and did not want to beat me. Judging by their words, I had to let them hit me so that he would also be given two minutes.

– Did you feel that you were hit?

“When he started the fight and hit me with his glove, I knew it right away. And then a fight started, I didn’t let him just hit me. I don’t understand the judges, how I should show that there is a mutual fight and he hits me.

— So you haven’t learned how to “sell” such moments yet?

“Not yet, apparently, we need to work on it,” the Match TV correspondent reports Surin’s words.
