Former vice-president of Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist “Sergei Laskov told that regardless of the team’s opponent in the second round of the KHL playoffs – Spartak or Dynamo Minsk, the pair will be worth it.
In the sixth match of the series, which took place on Monday in Khabarovsk, Metallurg defeated Amur in overtime with a score of 3:2 and won the series 4-2. Magnitogorsk’s opponent in the second round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs will be Spartak or Dynamo Minsk.
— It was a good series, “Amur” put up good resistance. Of all the pairs of the first round, Amur showed the most adequate hockey. But the youth of Magnitogorsk also had their say.
— There was a lot of talk about the fact that it was better not to start the playoffs from the Far East. It turns out that there is no reason to avoid “Cupid”?
— Traveling in the Far East is difficult, yes. But that’s when you play an away series in the regular season. The first day everything is fine, but the third day it gets crazy. In the playoffs, trips are short and easier to bear.
— Who do you consider your opponent in the second round: Spartak or Dynamo Minsk?
– It does not matter. In the playoffs, we do not choose an opponent. I read opinions that Magnitogorsk plays uninteresting and uncombined hockey. Let’s put it this way: Spartak is playing this kind of hockey for the first year. In any case, no matter who gets caught, both men will be worthy,” Laskov told .
