Former head coach of the Russian national hockey team Vladimir Pluschev told that Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist “and Yekaterinburg”Motorist “In the seventh game of the KHL playoff semi-final series, they will show aggressive hockey, the teams have nothing to lose.
The score in the best-of-four series is 3 to 3. The seventh match will take place on Monday in Magnitogorsk and will start at 5:00 p.m. The winner of the match will meet Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the Gagarin Cup final.
— I thought there would be a seventh game. Both teams played good hockey throughout the season. Not without failures, but there were also ups. Every game in the series felt like a deciding game. Andrey Razin has experience of seven matches, but for the first time he will work as number one. I think that from the start of the match, both teams will play to win, because they have nothing to lose and there is no reason to feel sorry for themselves.
I didn’t expect Avtomobilist to reach the semi-finals. In the series with Ak Bars and SKA, the Yekaterinburg team showed very mature hockey and competent play. Very quickly, they rebuilt, intensified, held and endured. Playing, for example, in St. Petersburg is very difficult. I can say that they are rightly at this stage. I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave the fans a gift,” Plyushchev told .
