Hockey specialist Leonid Weisfeld on the air of the program “Tous pour le match!” on the channel criticized “Locomotive” for a closed game in the first game of the quarter-final of the Gagarin Cup with CSKA .
The match took place in Moscow on Friday and ended with CSKA winning 2:0 (0:0, 0:0, 2:0).
“I assumed something like that. Lokomotiv also had a series with Vityaz. But one understands the level of CSKA and Vityaz. If he and Vityaz closed like that, then with CSKA – even more. Another question, it’s the playoffs, we still have to win here. I understand in the regular season – I’ve had overtime, shootouts, back and forth. But how are they going to win here?
Lokomotiv started the series against Vityaz with the score 0:1. And there was such a zero! Here, zero-zero, there were no moments at all. When the puck was lost, even with a tie, they immediately backed up to their blue line. I was just amazed, I just don’t remember such matches in my career,” Weisfeld said on .
The second game in the series of up to four wins between Lokomotiv and CSKA will take place in Moscow on March 19.
