Watch: Russian junior player Dmitri Voronkov jokingly smashes 'TSN' camera
It seems at least one player from Russia's world junior team has moved on from a tough loss and is now able to poke some fun at the controversial non-call involving a TSN camera late in the tournament's gold-medal game.
Appearing during the intermission report of a recent KHL game, Russian junior player Dmitri Voronkov was given a prime opportunity to take out his frustration on a "TSN" camera, an opportunity he gladly accepted.

A camera for the Canadian sports network featured prominently in a late-game play after a Canadian player shot the puck over the glass, hitting the camera above the ice in the process. Though many thought the play should have earned the Canadians a delay of game penalty, no call was made.
Here’s one possible explanation for no penalty called. Though not sure it’s a valid one frankly. Liberal interpretation of “above the ice” https://t.co/21RbleL9cI

Voronkov, 19, was an integral player for the second-place Russian team, scoring three goals and adding four assists in seven games. The Columbus Blue Jackets selected him in the fourth round of the 2019 NHL Draft.
