MOSCOW, July 20, Andrey Senchenko. President of the Russian Hockey Federation (FHR) Vladislav Tretyak called Florida Panthers goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky a decent person and a purposeful hockey player, and also admitted that he was very worried about the Russian goalkeeper in the final series of the Stanley Cup.
Florida defeated the Edmonton Oilers in seven games in the National Hockey League (NHL) season finale series. The 35-year-old Bobrovsky, who has been with the Panthers since 2019, won the Stanley Cup for the first time in his career.
“»We met with him, hugged. I looked at him, and he was just all “dry.” I told him: “Your last match of the series in the Stanley Cup finals, it was like I was playing with you, I was very worried and wanted you to won. You don't get such a chance every time.» I really like Bobrovsky. He is purposeful and like a cat in the gate, I like his style. And most importantly, Sergei is a very decent person. Not every star behaves like him. Bobrovsky, Ovechkin are great guys, they never refuse help,” Tretyak said.
