– “Lokomotiv”, of course, is a serious opponent, a balanced team with young and experienced players. She could already smell the blood – the Cup was nearby, only one step left. So there will be some interesting matches in the final. I want Magnitogorsk to win, this is our Chelyabinsk region. The young boys scored a lot of goals and deserved it. But it seems to me that Yaroslavl will win the Gagarin Cup,” Balandin said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Remember that Lokomotiv has never won the Gagarin Cup. It reached the KHL playoff final in 2009. Metallurg won the trophy in 2014 and 2016.
