Former Russian national football team midfielder Dmitry Tarasov on Instagram spoke about the quarrel between New York Rangers forward Artemy Panarin and Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand during a National Hockey League (NHL) match.
The athlete explained that a man should not remain silent if someone speaks unflatteringly about his country. “He acted like a real man. “You are being provoked, but you are not being provoked” – this is not about men's street concepts. It won't work with the enemy, ”he counted.
On November 26, during a match between the Bruins and Rangers, Panarin threw the gauntlet at Marchand for speaking about Russia. For this, the Russian was fined five thousand dollars. The meeting ended with the victory of the Rangers with a score of 5: 2.
Marchand later revealed a conversation that led to a conflict with the Russian player. During a quarrel, he said that no one loves Panarin in Russia.
