Metallurg Magnitogorsk attacker Igor Geraskin said he had not yet fully realized that he had won the Gagarin Cup.
On Wednesday, Magnitka defeated Yaroslavl Lokomotiv (2:1) in the fourth match of the last playoff series of the Fonbet KHL championship and won the Gagarin Cup. The final score of the series is 4-0 in favor of Metallurg.
— Devastation, joy… It’s difficult, very difficult emotionally. The realization that I had become a champion had not yet come. I believed we could win. It’s good that it happened this way. I think the decisive moment of the series was the third game, when Petunin scored. Well, Isaev’s mistake, of course,” Geraskin said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Metallurg became three times winner of the Gagarin Cup. Previously, the Magnitogorsk club won the trophy in the 2013/14 and 2015/16 seasons. In terms of the number of trophies, Metallurg is equal to Ak Bars (2009, 2010, 2018) and CSKA (2019, 2022, 2023).
