Yevgeny Kuznetsov: If we’d won, it would have been unfair

Russian junior national team forward Yevgeny Kuznetsov, who was named the MVP of the 2012 World U20 Championship, has admitted that Sweden were stronger in the final match of the tournament.

«It’s nice to become the MVP, but it doesn’t matter – we lost the final game. If we’d won, it would have been unfair according to how the game was developing. I liked the way our team played throughout the whole tournament. All the guys did great, but we still lost the final. Life goes on. We have to win next time,» Kuznetsov said as quoted by the official IIHF website.
