Head coach of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl Igor Nikitin spoke about the role journalists played in his team’s defeat in the Kontinental Hockey League playoff finals from Magnitogorsk Metallurg. “Championship” reports this.
According to him, the hockey players read materials in the media and believed that they could easily win the title. “It’s experience, guys go through it their own way. There are also non-hockey nuances that you need to keep in mind, you need to be able to get through this,” the coach said.
