The Moscow attackerDynamo » Dmitry Rashevsky told that the crossover playoffs have sparked intrigue in the KHL and made the tournament more unpredictable.
The 2023/24 season is the first in KHL history in which teams from different conferences will face each other from the second round. As part of the cross-playoffs of the Fonbet KHL Championship, Dynamo will play the quarter-finals with Chelyabinsk Traktor.
— For the first time in your career, you will be able to play in the cross playoffs. What emotions?
— I think it’s more interesting when the West and the East meet in the second round. And before the crossover playoffs, we knew in advance who would advance to the second round. As a rule, these were CSKA, Lokomotiv, Dynamo and another team. There was no plot, now there is. I think now the playoffs are much more interesting,” Rashevsky told .
The first match of the Dynamo – Traktor series will take place at the VTB Arena on March 16 and will start at 17:00 Moscow time. Watch the live broadcast on the channel and on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
