Famous Russian hockey referee, official and commentator Leonid Weisfeld believes that Beijing “Kunlun “can qualify for the KHL playoffs, but is unlikely to go far in the Gagarin Cup.
On Sunday, Kunlun of Mytishchi defeated CSKA in overtime in the Fonbet KHL championship match. Regular time ended with a score of 2:2.
— Experienced guys together, if I’m not mistaken, they participated in pre-season training camp for the first time in all this time. Usually we met the day before the championship started. Strengths include the coaching and goalkeeping staff. The problem is that they will have played almost 30 games in two months and the bench is short. The question is whether they will be able to maintain such a pace. Considering all the factors, maybe they will make it to the playoffs, but I doubt they will go far, even if anything is possible,” Weisfeld told .
Kunlun has won four wins in five matches at the start of the season and leads the Western Conference standings with 8 points. In the next match, the Beijing team will face local Lokomotiv on September 12 in Yaroslavl.
