Double winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov told how Chelyabinsk was transformed “Tractor” in the KHL playoffs this season.
Traktor reached the semi-finals of the Gagarin Cup by defeating Salavat Yulaev (4-2) and Dynamo Moscow (4-0) in the playoffs. The team finished sixth in the regular season in the Eastern Conference standings.
— Tractor conversion? I believe that sometimes these problems before the playoffs can mobilize a team for one goal. It was in the episode with Ufa that this atmosphere was born: fighting, combativeness. The guys realized they could take their own. Team cohesion is born in these complex confrontations, where everyone invests in a common cause. It was during the first episode that this happened to Traktor, and a transformation appeared,” Konkov was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
