Agent Alexander Chernykh spoke about the results of the Gagarin Cup playoffs this season.
Among others, CSKA, winner of last season’s Gagarin Cup, last year’s finalist Ak Bars, winner of the 2023/24 regular season Dynamo Moscow, one of the leaders of the Western Conference SKA, have left the tournament.
— It’s cool when you have unpredictable hockey, it attracts a lot of spectators. If there was some kind of unconditional leader, then it would make no sense to go to the games knowing the result in advance. When such metamorphoses happen, it’s cool and popularizes our favorite sport. And we see full stands in these playoffs. It’s been a long time since there were situations where you couldn’t get tickets. Now everyone wants to go to matches, resellers have reappeared.
— Isn’t there also a feeling in SKA’s defeat?
“Personally, I didn’t expect anyone to definitely surpass someone. “I personally worry about the players of our agency, so that they play at a high level and do not get injured, as well as for beautiful hockey,” Chernykh RB Sport quotes.
