After three matches of the Gagarin Cup final series with Lokomotiv, Metallurg leads with a score of 3-0.
— Are you surprised that Lokomotiv lost the Gagarin Cup final with a score of 0-3 without any options? Before the start of the series, Yaroslavl was considered by many to be the favorite.
– What if there are no options? All three matches ended with a one goal difference, one match went to overtime. In such situations, there is always a desire for the series to last. It’s nice to see how the guys fight, devote themselves to the common cause. Sometimes there are matches where we lose the series 0-3 and we have the impression that nothing is going well. But everything can change if you win the first meeting. Luck smiled, the puck landed somewhere thanks to luck, then the final changed, and now you can do anything.
I wouldn’t say Metallurg wins by one wicket. I see that Igor Nikitin’s team will prove itself, ”Nabokov told .
The fourth match of the four-win series will take place in Yaroslavl on April 24.
