Mikhail Sergachev fires back at media for misinformation was spread around the playoff loss to the Maple Leafs.
Sergachev Fires Back
It was reported that Sergachev was mocking the Maple Leafs for celebrating their playoff round win.
The translation that was reported:
«Wow, [Toronto] wins one series in 19 years then immediately loses. They deserve no credit. No other team would celebrate such a thing.»
This has since been corrected by Sergachev who has called out the media for spreading false information.
Sergachev Fires Back
Sergachev took to his Instagram to call out the media, this is what he said:
Lol, if you don't speak Russian don't use google translate as your first option and then spread misinformation! I never said it like that!
Question was *Toronto played very physical which got couple of your defensemen hurt,is that true?"
And I said "no it just happens sometimes people get hurt by accident, and I don't want to give
them credit"
Rep"Why not give them credit?"
Me "Why? I don't think they deserved
them"
Rep"For the first time in 19 years
passed first round"
Me "Here true, good on them! But didn't go thru second round, I don't
see a reason to celebrate"
Check your sources or find someone
who speak the lanquage, don't be a clown
The spreading of misinformation made it look like Sergachev was roasting the Maple Leafs when instead he was completing their game and their success.
