S.-PETERSBURG, 11 January, Taras Barabash. Head coach of St. Petersburg SKA Roman Rotenberg believes that the referees could have counted Yevgeny Ketov's goal in the KHL match with Ak Bars Kazan. SKA hockey players at home lost to Ak Bars in the KHL regular championship match with a score of 1: 3. Rotenberg suffered his first defeat as the team's head coach. With the score 1: 2 in the third period, SKA forward Ketov threw the puck, which was canceled after the video playback due to interference with the goalkeeper. «I wanted to discuss this issue. I talked after the moment with the chief referee. I was told that the situation was 50-50. They made such a decision. In the league they always say that such moments are usually counted in favor of the attacking team. But in this situation it is the decision of the main referees, we respect this decision. In our understanding, it was more a goal than a hindrance to the goalkeeper. This is hockey, such situations happen. We hope that in the future the situation will turn out in our favor. Ketov played great, scored a goal, but it was not counted, «Rotenberg said, answering a question from a correspondent.
