Kazansky “AK Bars” with a high degree of probability will win a series of the second round of the Gagarin Cup against Vladivostok “Admiral” however, it can take a lot of effort, the two-time Olympic hockey champion suggested in a conversation with a correspondent Alexander Kojevnikov .
On Thursday, Ak Bars beat Admiral 3-2 at home. In a side game, SKA St. Petersburg beat Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in extra time – 2:1.
– In general, it was expected that the game would be slimy in both matches. Ak Bars and SKA won. It was planned, you might say.
– Do you think that Torpedo has no chance in the series with SKA?
– For what? Will be. They also had their chance in this game. Didn’t use it, conceded the puck on a faceoff. Well what can I say, it happens. It’s hockey, everything can change in two seconds.
It is still too early to guess who can go further. It is clear that Kazan will most likely win his series. However, let’s see how much energy they expend. Everything will be decided in the second or third match,” Kozhevnikov told .
