Stories from life: Only the goalkeeper of the hockey CDKA of the 50s, Yuri Ovchukov, could probably boast that he managed to get coach Tarasov to admit that the player was right. The CDKA conducted a training camp in Poland at that time. Skating rink workers saved energy. It was a bit dark on the ice. Ovchukov missed a light puck. Tarasov began to pronounce him with all. Ovchukov referred to poor lighting. “No,” said Tarasov, everything was perfectly visible, and you launched the butterfly. Then Ovchukov went to the locker room and returned to the ice with a party ticket, no one knows why he took him on a foreign trip. "I swear by the party membership," he said to Tarasov, "that it was dark." And Tarasov, to the surprise of the whole team, agreed with the following argument: “Yes, it was dark. The darkness prevented you from catching the puck. ”
