Honored coach of Russia Yuri Gailik believes that Yekaterinburg “Motorist” I won’t be able to pass SKA in the second round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs.
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, Avtomobilist will play the quarter-finals with SKA Saint Petersburg.
“Avtomobilist” will not be able to pass the SKA, that’s for sure. There is a well-trained team there, coach Zavarukhin works on “physics”, on the health of the players.
They are well prepared physically. But technically the SKA is higher and the military team has a bench. And the Yekaterinburg team only has one squad of players. “Young people are not yet ready to solve big problems,” Gailik said, as quoted by RB Sport.
