The charming coach of the Kharlamov Division Daria Mironova comments on the KHL All-Star Game results:
"You think we didn`t win? Vitaly Kravtsov promised us bronze medals from the very beginning! He has a bronze medal of the WJC! It was a plan. He saved his energy for the final game. I think you will agree that the game was full of unpredictable moments. And we did it! Speaking of Zinetula Bilyaletdinov, he is amazing! My life will never be the same!"
Vitaly Kravtsov says about the KHL All-Star Game:
"It was interesting. I got acquainted with many cool guys. I tried to do something nice to make the fans happy. Nobody thought about the goals. It wasn`t about scoring, it was about beauty of hockey. Something went right, something went wrong, but I managed to score in a different situation. Why did guys give me the puck? It was a joke. I was glad to work with such coachung staff and players. Maybe it`s an event that happens once in a lifetime. I`m so happy to be here."

Vitaly Kravtsov comments on the first day of the All-Star weekend:
"It`s cool to take part in such an event, to take part in the contests. The fans cheer the players greatly, everything is so nice and unique. I hope everyone who watched it has enjoyed the show!"
Did you think about your result here?
We just chilled, enjoyed the game and tried to make fans happy. I doubt that anyone thoungt about the result today.
What was the most memorable moment of the first day?
When I shot the puck in the crossbar (laughs). Anton Burdasov and I had a contest, who can hit the crossbar more times. He had one, I had five. Will I do the same tomorrow? Maybe.
You took part in the JHL Challenge Cup where the teams try to wim. Is there going to be the same story at the KHL All-Star game?
Everyone fights at the Challenge Cup for the win and tries to prove something. It`s totally different from the KHL. Everyone enjoys the game here.

The greatest moment was the song Ho Hey by Lumineers performed by Mathew Maione, he literally stole the show!
The following contests were held at the KHL Skill Show.
1. "Fastest Lap". The record was set by Enver Lisin during the 2017 All-Star Game, his time was 12.450.
2. "Defense vs Offence". The competition for the goaltenders, every goalie is to try to save 10 shots.
3. "Skill Race".The fastest team wins the competition.
4. "Hardest Shot". It`s great that the record in this competition was set by Traktor`s ex-player Alexander Ryazantsev, who hit the puck at the speed of 183.67 km/h in 2012.
5. «Precise Shot». The players are to shot the targets. The one who gets more points and does everything fast is the winner.
6. "Hockey Biathlon". The course of the relay race consists of 5 stages.
Vitaly Kravtsov took part in the Skill Show Race and the Hockey Biathlon competitions.

The morning started with a sightseeing for the mascots. They came to the wedding of the children`s sledge hockey league`s mascots Fyrka and Funny. The White Bear couldn`t miss such an event!
The wedding here is here:)
It seems that all bright stars of the KHL came to Kazan on January 18. Traktor is presented at the All-Stars by Vitaly Kravtsov.
January is full of events for Vitaly. There are the World Junior Championship in Canada, where Russia won bronze medals, the games in the KHL and the All-Star Games. Moreover, Kravtsov will join the Traktor team the next day after the All-Stars as Traktor starts its road trip on January 22 and is to play in Yekaterinburg, Magnitogorsk and Kazan.
I don`t know what to expect from the event. I`m so glad to be here! Probably, the most important part now is to relax, to find new emotions and impressions. Will there be any surprises from me at the All-Star Weekend? I can`t say anything about it now, we will discuss it with Anton Burdasov.
The beauties of the All-Star Week are the female coach assistants. Here you can see Yevgenia Golovina, Natalia Klark, Maria Bass and Daria Mironova. Such coaches will definetely make the teams more charming. We support Daria, who will lead the Kharlamov Division to the victory.
The KHL All-Star week wouldn`t that bright without the clubs` mascots!
