MOSCOW, Sep 21, Andrey Senchenko. Two-time Olympic champion and member of the Supervisory Board Moscow CSKA Boris Mikhailov told a funny episode that occurred in the locker room of the Soviet team after the last match with Canadian hockey players in the 1972 Super Series. The Super Series consisted of eight matches. Canadian hockey players won four victories, the USSR national team — three. Another meeting ended in a draw. «The first second in the locker room was so good that everyone sat and said:» What kind of eccentrics are we that we lost. «We were told:» You lost the Volga. Apparently we could win cars. If we had known about this earlier, we would have won the Canadians. That Super Series wasn't just a series of games. Then the NHL opened its eyes, began to invite players from the Soviet Union,» Mikhailov said during a press conference in Moscow. Mikhailov also expressed the opinion that the participation of the Russian team in the World Cup 2024 is mandatory. «In the current situation The World Cup is an outlet. But there are a number of questions about who will be involved in the organization from our side. When we went to our first World Cup, a lot of things happened that I didn't understand. I believe that our team must be. All other teams without us are an empty place,» Mikhailov added.
