Valery Kamensky, vice-president of development of the KHL and member of the league’s board of directors, believes that the duel between the goalkeeper and the coach will decide the outcome of the Gagarin Cup final series.
Magnitogorsk Metallurg and Yaroslavl Lokomotiv will meet in the final. The first match will take place on Thursday.
– Series [«Металлурга» и «Автомобилиста”] It turned out spectacular, beautiful, full of intrigue. Two equal teams played, but Magnitogorsk turned out to be stronger.
In the final there will be a confrontation between the coaches and the goalkeepers. I think the team that makes the fewest mistakes will win. Yaroslavl has a more organized team, but Metallurg has guys who can decide the outcome of the match. The performance of young goalkeeper Nabokov also deserves admiration. There will be an interesting final series,” Kamensky said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
