Yesterday, we brought you a completely crazy story when a KHL player dropped his cell phone on the ice in the middle of a match!
During a KHL match between Kazan Ak-Bars and Omsk Avangard, forward Nikita Dynyak experienced the shame of his life.
While chasing the puck in the neutral zone, an object fell from his pants onto the ice. Moments later, the official went to pick it up only to realize it was his cell phone.
When he showed up to the team bench with the unusual item, you could see how embarrassed Dynyak, a 27-year-old, was to pick it up.
You might wonder how obsessed you have to be with your phone to carry it around the ice during a game.
In another sequence, we can see the head coach of the opposing team, Guy Boucherclaim a penalty for illegal equipment.
After the meeting, the main party faced the music and explained himself to the media.
Here’s why he had his phone with him during a professional hockey game.
I always leave my phone here on my locker tablet. I took my elbow pads and that’s when he fell into my hockey pants without me realizing it. I didn’t even feel it.
It’s like a cigarette that you put to your ear and then forget about it after a while.
Honestly, it’s a funny but also embarrassing situation. I’m going to become a new meme on social media!
I hope the league will be lenient towards me. It was a pure accident and it was not intended. I especially didn’t want to undermine the credibility of the league. We represent the league in front of the whole country and also around the world. This is certainly a very unpleasant situation for me at the moment.
