Hockey expert Leonid Weisfeld told that an important factor in victory “Tractors” above “Salavat Yulaev” in the Fonbet KHL championship playoff series there was the game of goalkeepers.
Salavat Yulaev lost to Chelyabinsk Traktor (2:4) in the sixth game of the first round of the KHL playoffs on Sunday and was eliminated from the Gagarin Cup. The result of the series is 4 to 2 in favor of Traktor.
— After the series “Salavat” and “Traktor”, we had the feeling that “Salavat” played better. Zavarukhin said the same thing. I don’t want to do analysis, because I don’t know what’s inside, but the reason for Salavat’s successful performance in the regular season, and I consider his performance there to be successful , is largely due to the playing of Alexander Samonov. He took them out and gave them a chance. He played well in the playoffs, but did not achieve great feats. In my opinion, it was the performance of the goalkeepers that made the difference. This is not the only reason, but it is an important factor.
— Don’t you feel that Traktor beat Salavat in many ways, physically and psychologically? If we take all the fights, with strength and so on.
– Such a feeling no longer exists. In my opinion, Traktor played more rationally. “Salavat” played more, and the Chelyabinsk team worked more. In the end it got results,” Weisfeld told .
