Brother Ivan Barbashev Sergey said that the player spends the off-season in the US for the sake of comfort
The older brother of the Russian striker “Vegas Golden Knights” Ivan Barbashev Sergey explained his refusal to come home. This is reported by Legalbet.
“He always rests and prepares for the new season in the US. The conditions are different: everything is more convenient, the preparation is more comfortable, ”said Sergey. He added that the brother was once sent from the National Hockey League (NHL) to the American Hockey League (AHL) after the striker spent the off-season in Russia.
On June 3, Ivan Barbashev appreciated the ban on bringing the Stanley Cup to Russia. “Honestly, I do not care. I don’t think the Cup will go to Russia, because it didn’t get there last year. This is what it is, so I don’t really think about it, ”said the athlete.
Barbashev has been playing for Vegas since February 2023. He previously played for the St. Louis Blues for six years.
