Former defender of Ak Bars and Salavat Yulaev Vitaly Proshkin believes that the Kazan team will be one of the favorites to win the Gagarin Cup this season.
On Monday, Ak Bars lost to Sibir in their arena with a score of 1:4. Kazan is fifth in the Eastern Conference standings with 72 points.
— Kazan is struggling this season, but the team is still entering the playoffs in good condition. First of all, because of the enormous experience. The lineup includes not only Alexander Radulov, but also Vadim Shipachev, Dmitry Kagarlitsky, Vyacheslav Voinov and other talented guys. It’s a shame that Dmitry Yashkin is injured. Goalkeeper Timur Bilyalov helps, he is psychologically stable and reliable. Well, a lot has been said and known about the experience of head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov. Kazan will therefore be among the favorites,” said Proshkin quoted by “Championship”.
