General Manager of the Canadian national team Shane Doan on the eve of the match with the Russian national team as part of the Channel One Cup, he remembered how he played against the manager of the Russian national team for working with NHL players Ilya Kovalchuk in the finals of the 2008 World Cup, as well as that he played with the current mentor of the Russian team Alexey Zhamnov at Winnipeg.
“I know that Ilya Kovalchuk, who scored our winning goal in the 2008 Quebec final, is now the general manager of the Russian national team. It still hurts to remember. After all, I could intercept that pass from Sergey Fedorov to Kovalchuk in overtime, I was very close. But it happens.
By the way, my first center in the NHL, when I came to Winnipeg at the age of 18, was Alexey Zhamnov! We played in a link with him and Igor Korolyov. I remember how glad I was, how I tried to reach out for these guys, ”said Doane.

Canada forward Corban Knight commented on the upcoming meeting with the Russian national team as part of the Channel One Cup. For him, this match should be the first in a maple leaf sweater.
“Yes, I have my debut match for the Canadian national team. For the first time I put on the uniform of the national team – it is a great honor for me. I really look forward to the first game against the Russian national team. This is always a fundamental confrontation. This week I have no friends from Russia. That’s what I said (to the forward of the Russian national team and “Avangard” Sergei) Tolchinsky: “No friends.”
He said that I would not speak to them. In fact, of course, I will be glad to see my teammates in the game. Everyone understands that in the end the NHL may not go to the Olympics, so the Channel One Cup is a real chance to show itself, “RIA Novosti quoted Knight as saying.

Russian national team forward Sergey Tolchinsky about preparations for the Channel One Cup match with Canada.
“At this tournament, you need to show yourself as much as possible, show that you deserve to be in the Russian national team. Canadians are a rival that you always want to fight. And we are ready. I already can’t wait for this game. But here it is necessary not only to beat the Canadians, to win the entire tournament. There is pressure, but we can handle it.
The new coaching staff gave us tactical booklets, for the first time in my experience. There are two volumes! Just kidding, there are twenty pages of basic tactics – who, where and when runs. Everything is at the highest level, everything is clear and specific, a lot of information.
We had a great conversation with Ilya Kovalchuk, I’m glad to see him. Last season he was my partner in my top three, and now he is the general manager of the Russian national team! No, we have not yet crossed paths with Igor Esmantovich here, “RIA Novosti quotes Tolchinsky as saying.

Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Plushev shared his opinion on the composition of the Canadian national team on the eve of the Channel One Cup.
“Should we be afraid of such a Canada? The roster is staffed with players from the European leagues and the KHL. We more or less know the abilities of all players. Who is there to be afraid of? There are no bright stars, there are many good hockey players playing leading roles in their clubs. We need to prepare for a tough match.
Are you surprised that Lipsik and Virtanen were left out of the squad? The coaching staff was not used to commenting on the decision. Recruiting a team is purely their business. I am convinced that a collective decision was made for each candidate, “Plyushchev said in an interview with Championship correspondent Andrei Bobrov.
“We help Canada prepare for the Olympics. She will play at the Channel One Cup ”

The day before, a press conference was held by the head coach of the Russian national team, at which he spoke about the absence of some players in the Channel One Cup team, and also answered a question about captaincy.
“The absence of Burdasov and Okulov at the Channel One Cup? We don’t write off anyone. We know these guys, and at this stage we decided to see other guys who actually deserve to be in the national team now.
About the captain at the First Cup about the channel – you will find out tomorrow. We have a tight schedule, you know, a lot of guys. Most likely, there will be different captains at different matches, ”Zhamnov said.
