Former head coach of the Russian national ice hockey team Vyacheslav Bykov told Metaratings.ru which clubs he will follow in the Gagarin Cup.
– I will worry about CSKA and my friend Sergei Fedorov. Follow the Traktor team from Chelyabinsk, where I come from. “Tractor” continues to build its style of play with the return of Anvar Gatiyatulin to his home club and can also surprise. And, of course, for Salavat and SKA, in which my friend and colleague Igor Zakharkin and I won the Gagarin Cup.
It’s interesting to see how Torpedo will show up with Igor Larionov in the lead. Andrey Razin’s Severstal shows interesting hockey and is also aiming for the Gagarin Cup. Yaroslavl Lokomotiv has been transformed with the arrival of class specialist Alexei Kudashev. Experienced “vanguard” Alexander Krylov is a very serious contender in this race.
I will also watch with great interest and expect an enchanting game from Alexander Radulov. I believe that Alexander will surprise us again with his game, temperament and performance,” Bykov told Metaratings.ru.
The KHL Fonbet Championship playoffs will begin on March 1. Watch live broadcasts of the matches of the Gagarin Cup on the federal channel and thematic channels of the holding, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
