Former head coach of Lokomotiv Peter Vorobiev told that the Yaroslavl team lacks experience to compete in the Gagarin Cup final, due to the unsuccessful results of the series with “Metallurgist” .
Monday Yaroslavl “Locomotive” lost at home to Metallurg Magnitogorsk (1:2 OT) in overtime of the third game of the final series of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs.
— I would like Lokomotiv to have another chance to win the Gagarin Cup. But the guys lack experience in finals. Look at the Yaroslavl team: most of them are in the playoffs for the first time and reaching the final for the first time. Those who have already participated in the final have won the Gagarin Cup – only a few. Yes, the team is competent, but they lack a certain kind of composure and experience in decisive moments.
It is clear that Nikitin is talking with the guys, trying to convey something, but it is not difficult to lead, but it is difficult to execute on the ice, ”Vorobiev told .
Lokomotiv loses the final series with a score of 0 to 3. The fourth match will also take place in Yaroslavl on April 24. If the Yaroslavl team loses, Metallurg will win the Gagarin Cup.
