""There was an empress named Catherine the Great. What do people remember her for? Call a spade a spade," Razin said via Hockey on Kinopoisk, as translated via Google Translate.

Evgeny Kuznetsov was placed on KHL waivers by Metallurg Magnitogorsk in a mutual decision to allow him to join a club where he would receive more opportunity and playing time. Kuznetsov has not played in a KHL game since December 19, when he skated 4:49 against Traktor Chelyabinsk. Andrei Razin repeatedly criticized Kuznetsov's conditioning, calling him functionally weak and in very poor physical shape, linking his condition to lost duels and team losses.
