Double Olympic champion Boris Maireov believes that in the KHL playoff game against CSKA Severstal should not have allowed such a great defeat.
On Wednesday, CSKA beat Severstal 9-3 in the fourth game of the first round of the Gagarin Cup and tied the series: 2-2.
“Nine goals is an incredible result for the playoffs, regardless of which teams are playing,” Mayorov said. – There should not be such scores in the Gagarin Cup.
– CSKA got very angry because of the two previous defeats of Severstal?
– Even if the army team got angry, then Severstal should be angry in response. You have to stick to the result. It’s the rarest case when a team concedes nine playoff goals.
– Can such a defeat psychologically suppress the Cherepovites in the next matches?
– It is unlikely that after such defeats the team, on the contrary, will. Yes, and the coaches will do everything to prepare her for a new fight. The current 3:9 will not affect the subsequent course of events.
The fifth game of the series between CSKA and Severstal will take place on March 10 in Moscow.
