Metallurg have imposed a disciplinary penalty on head coach Andrei Razin over his remarks at press conferences, club director Alexei Zhloba said. The report does not say what form the penalty takes.
The remarks followed the 3-0 win over Barys. Asked about Vladimir Tkachev's game, Razin said:
Razin later responded to media reports of a conflict with the forward. "Yes, I am not saying I am a good coach for Tkachev. But I don't give a damn whether I am a good coach for him or not. What place are we in now in the East? So everyone can go to hell, everyone who wrote this rubbish," he said.
Zhloba was asked how the club's management viewed the coach's emotional statements. "I would like to stress that for HC Metallurg the priority is always our common goals and values, the promotion of hockey as a family sport that advocates respect for one another, not only on the ice but in any other situation. That is why we were forced to impose a disciplinary penalty on the team's head coach, Andrei Vladimirovich Razin. We work first of all for the fans and consider it unacceptable for any representative of our system to permit sharp statements that violate corporate ethics," Zhloba said.
