Sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev supported Russian New York Rangers striker Artemy Panarin, who threw a glove at an opponent during a National Hockey League (NHL) match, and launched a flash mob. He wrote about this in his Instagram account.
In the match against Boston, Panarin threw a glove at the Canadian Brad Marschand, for which he was punished with a fine of five thousand dollars. Later, the hockey player said that the forward of the American team provoked him with insults.
“I love hockey! This is a sport where you will not find a coward. It’s not for nothing that they say that cowards don’t play hockey! Or is it all the same? I found such one, and in the NHL, ”the commentator reasoned.
Guberniev stressed that Marshand should have talked to Panarin “like a man”, and not go over to insults. The commentator also asked how his subscribers would act in such a situation and whether they would react to the provocation in a different way. “If they hadn’t been on the bench, the Canadian would have had a hard time! You have to answer for such dirty words! ” – added Guberniev.
The commentator expressed confidence that his readers would agree with him and support Panarin, whose puck, as Guberniev recalled, was victorious in the last match. He launched the hashtag #fromRussiawithGlove (“From Russia with a glove”) and urged followers to publish their words of support with him.
Earlier it became known that the reason for Panarin’s act was Marchand’s insulting remarks about Russia. “All Russians want to defend their country,” the forward explained.
The meeting during which the incident took place took place on Friday, November 26, and ended in a 5-2 victory for the Rangers.
