Spy stuff: Metallurg coaches found eavesdropping device in their possession

We are witnessing one of the most sensational and stereotypical scandals in modern hockey history. Coaches of a Russian team discovered a spy device in their room.

According to “Sport-Express,” the listening device was found by the coaches of Metallurg Magnitogorsk in their coaching room at the Ice Palace in St. Petersburg. Metallurg was facing SKA St. Petersburg in the Gagarin Cup final and was trailing 1-2 in the series at the time of the discovery.

Igor Eronko from “Sport-Express” reports that neither the general managers nor the players wanted to comment on the matter (after all, SKA is the richest club in the KHL, and their vice president is also the vice president of the Russian Hockey Federation).

Journalist Alexei Shevchenko from “Sport-Express” mentions that the device was connected to a microphone and that Metallurg is expected to send it to the league’s management for further investigation.

As you can see, the listening device is not exactly the latest in spy technology. It looks like something made in a shop class or bought at RadioShack. “Hey, Sergey, do you have four AA batteries for an illegal listening device to place in our opponent’s coaching room? I only have two left.”

Honestly, we don’t know how to react to this.

Maybe the Metallurg staff planted the device themselves to distract from the series.

Or perhaps SKA was spying on them, which ultimately means that Metallurg probably never discussed their coaching plans via email, unless SKA had already hacked it.

There's spying all over the place. Soccer, hockey, any sport. It's very interesting to find out what the opponent's plans are. Perhaps US idols like Tua Tagovailoa, Buffalo Bills, Skylar Thompson could face this?
