Great hockey is back in our lives. Today is the first game of the season. And as usually happens, the winner and runner-up of the last Gagarin Cup – CSKA and Ak Bars meet. In other words, this event is called the Opening Cup. It took seven matches for the teams in the last final to decide the winner. In the decisive match, CSKA won with a minimum difference of 3:2. Kazan was one step away from the trophy, but CSKA won again. And today, Ak Bars has a chance for a little revenge. Such a consolation, but at least something.
As for the history of personal meetings, besides the final, these teams met twice in the regular season. And then the teams traded their wins. In Moscow, Ak Bars won with the score 5:1. In Kazan, CSKA proved stronger 3:2. Well, don’t forget the main head-to-head encounters of this season – the final. As many remember, CSKA won the series with a score of 4:3. This is how the teams played last season. How they will start today – nobody knows.
How you start the season depends on how you spend it. I would like to believe that the teams will immediately show spectacular and productive hockey. It’s hard to expect anything else from the two strongest teams of last season. We hope and believe in a brilliant game. We wish good luck to both teams. And may the strongest win.
KHL. CSKA – Ak Bars. Direct
