Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Krikunov assessed the progress of the Gagarin Cup semi-final series between Metallurg and Avtomobilist.
Avtomobilist defeated Ak Bars in the first round of the Gagarin Cup with a score of 4-1 in the series. In the semifinals, the Yekaterinburg team faced Metallurg and lost after three matches with a score of 1–2.
— In the regular season, Magnitogorsk became first in the East, they were confident, but now Avtomobilist also looks decent. There is a young team in Magnitogorsk and in Yekaterinburg, I would like to mention the experienced guys with whom I worked: Tolya Golyshev, Nikita Tryamkin. There are good guys, and there are also young people: I invited the same Andrei Obidin, he was the top scorer in the youth team, I insisted that he be taken to the camp training with the first team,” Krikunov said at the Championship.
The fourth match of the series will take place on April 9 in Yekaterinburg, the meeting will start at 17:00 Moscow time. Watch the live broadcast of the Fonbet KHL championship match from 4:45 p.m. (Moscow time) on the channel and the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
