Roman Rotenberg insulted the coaches of “Siberia” and was removed from the KHL preseason match
At the end of the second half of the next match of the tournament. Sibir defender Ilya Morozov shoved Puchkov into SKA striker Zakhar Bardakov. This episode caused the discontent of the SKA coach Roman Rotenberg, who obscenely addressed the Siberian coaching staff and jumped onto the ice. Morozov and Rotenberg were knocked out before the end of the match.
VIDEO
Rotenberg watched the third half from the podium and in the post-match press conference the SKA coach spoke vividly of the episode with Bardakov and once again spoke disparagingly of his colleague David Nemirovsky.

The match in St. Petersburg turned out to be really tough, the Siberian players mercilessly acted towards their opponent. Maybe that’s how it should be in hockey, but I wonder if Novosibirsk would risk playing the same way against SKA if Andrey Nazarov, a power hockey expert, worked as Sochi’s coach, like last season. Taking into account that the next day “Siberia” will simply play with the “leopards”, which would certainly “check” the daring players from Novosibirsk. But now in charge of Sochi is the soft and flexible (even too much) Dmitry Kokorev, who still can’t deal with his own team and certainly isn’t thinking of testing Siberia’s toughness.
SKA signed a contract with Alex Galchenyuk
SKA coach Roman Rotenberg said the club has signed American striker Alex Galchenyuk to a two-year contract.
“We are very happy to inform everyone that we have signed a two-year deal with Alex Galchenyuk. Alex fits perfectly into our system both on a human level and as a player. We are very happy, welcome”, transmits Pavel Panyshev, correspondent of the championship, the words of Rotenberg.
