Former Russian hockey player Nikita Chchito believes that the Gagarin Cup final series would have been more interesting without Lokomotiv, but Avtomobilist had played against Metallurg.
Avtomobilist lost to Metallurg in the semifinals of the KHL playoffs with a score of 3-4. On Wednesday, the Magnitogorsk club won the Gagarin Cup, defeating Lokomotiv with a score of 4-0.
— Nikolai Zavarukhin is an excellent coach. If Avtomobilist and Metallurg met in the final, then I thought that this series would be much more interesting than the confrontation between Magnitogorsk and Lokomotiv, because the Yekaterinburg team plays very well.
Zavarukhin, like Razin, also started with children’s hockey, but then gradually began to move up the ranks: MHL, KHL. He was an assistant coach and then head coach. In the past, Nikolai Zavarukhin was a great player, he is constantly improving. It’s great that Avtomobilist kept this coach. I think he will be able to improve his results in the following seasons,” Shchitov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
