Nikolai Yaremenko: “Demarche or bad manners: why did the national team leave the site before the anthem?”

“I don’t want to write about the defeat of the Russian national team in the hockey final. That game, by and large, did not contain any intrigue. Well, except perhaps whether the obvious outsider of the final will be able to score at least one puck before the final siren and deprive the goalkeeper Canadians have beautiful “dry” playoff statistics.

And not about the officials who sang to us in a harmonious chorus all day long on the eve of the championship and even during the championship that the Russian team went to confirm the title, but immediately after the final siren everyone, as one, began to pronounce, like a mantra: “Silver is also not bad!" At the same time, everyone completely misses that silver for such a team is a lucky coincidence, that this is the ceiling, because Canada can assemble such teams... how many?”
