The head coach of St. Petersburg Retzon, Andrey Razin, stood up for goalkeeper Artemy Pleshkov after the defeat from Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo (3:4). In a press conference on 27 October, he compared the crucial missed goal with the famous mistake of the soccer goalkeeper Alexander Filimonov, but urged not to make Pleshkov the main blame for the failure. At the same time, the mentor explained why the captain Sergey Plotnikov finished in the fourth line, and Vasiliy Glotov changed his playing position during the meeting.
