Rafikov: Radulov Is Hockey's Mozart and Beethoven
After Lokomotiv's 3:2 win over CSKA, Rushan Rafikov praised 40-year-old Alexander Radulov's goal-and-two-assists display and Egor Surin's strong start.
Rushan Rafikov, Lokomotiv's defenceman, spoke after the 3:2 win over CSKA about how the club supports Alexander Radulov.
Radulov, 40, scored and set up two more in the match. Across four games this season he has 6 (2+4) points. Rafikov, asked whether the forward is a genius, reached for a musical comparison. He compared Lokomotiv's past troubles against CSKA to a comic-book weakness. He also addressed Egor Surin, 20, who has picked up points in almost every game this season, describing his relationship with the young forward in fatherly terms.
