Former Deputy General Manager of “The Admiral” Kamil Hajiyev in an interview with , he said that CSKA Severstal will progress to the first round of the Gagarin Cup without problems thanks to its head coach Sergei Fedorov .
The playoffs start on Wednesday. The second and seventh teams of the Western Conference, CSKA and Severstal will begin the series in Moscow on Thursday. Each playoff will go to four wins.
– I will be very surprised if Severstal wins more than one game in the series. Everything is obvious here. CSKA are a stable cup team that regularly reach the playoff finals. I think the army team will pass Cherepovets without any problems. Maybe even take the series dry.
Sergei Fedorov last season for the first time in his life became the head coach – and immediately won the Gagarin Cup. Fedorov belongs to the category of people who bear the seal of God. Whatever they do, everything works out. Remember how Sergei played hockey, how smart he was on the ice. He knows this sport, has unconditional authority, guys watch him and believe him 100%.
At the same time, Fedorov is not only strict, but also creative. Remember how he introduced the moment the goalie is taken out in overtime into a wide broadcast. I love watching these moves. Fedorov is a great champion and a decent person. So he succeeds. God give him,” Hajiyev told .
