The style of play demonstrated by Yaroslavl hockey playersLocomotive “, will not allow the team to regain the Gagarin Cup final against “Metallurgist “, the former head coach of the Russian national team told . Vladimir Pluschev .
After three matches of the Gagarin Cup final series with Lokomotiv, Magnitogorsk Metallurg leads with a score of 3-0. The next match of the series up to four victories will take place in Yaroslavl on April 24.
– With such a difficult game as Lokomotiv demonstrates, it will be problematic to regain the 0-3 series. But today I think Lokomotiv must at least rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans. You can’t lose 0-4 in the Gagarin Cup final. Let’s see how Metallurg prepares – whether they want to take the Cup away from Yaroslavl or whether they want to score a winning point at home. Much will depend on the physical condition of Magnitogorsk players; they had a difficult seven-game series.
Lokomotiv must have a responsibility towards its fans, who support the team so ardently. The Yaroslavl hockey school as a whole, and not just Lokomotiv, has always been distinguished by the production of interesting young offensive players. Now this is no longer the case and I don’t understand it,” Pliushchev told .
Watch the live broadcast of the fourth match of the series on Wednesday from 6:15 p.m. (Moscow time) on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
