St. Petersburg hockey club SKA, which is led by the son of a Russian oligarch Boris Rotenberg’s novelhung the banners of the trophies won by the team in its history. It would not matter, but there was a place for the Stanley Cup, which Russian clubs cannot win even theoretically.
The corresponding video was published by the Telegram channel “Hockey without spectators”. These shots caused a wave of jokes on the net, because the Stanley Cup is awarded to the North American team for winning the strongest hockey league in the world – the NHL.
SKA reportedly hung banners with the victories and trophies won by the team’s debutant Evgeny Kuznetsovwho won the Stanley Cup with Washington in 2018. However, it still caused a wave of outrage online.
