Russian coach Vyacheslav Butsaev believes that Omsk “Avant-garde” much stronger than Yaroslavl “Lokomotiv” by offensive talent.
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, Lokomotiv will play the quarter-finals with Avangard Omsk.
— I agree that Lokomotiv is a one hundred percent systematic team and Avangard is more creative. And it will be interesting to see to what extent the Omsk staff can overcome or break this system to their advantage. I think Avangard is much stronger than Lokomotiv in terms of offensive talent. Goléador Boucher? It’s his natural talent, his partners and the fact that he knows how to finish attacks is a fact. Therefore, motivation against a team where he played for an incomplete season will also play a role.
It is difficult to say how many matches there will be, but the fact that we will see interesting hockey not only in this pair, but also in others, is one hundred percent,” Butsaev said, as quoted by Metaratings. ru.
