Former Russian hockey player Maxim Goncharov on she said that she was confident in the victory of Yaroslavl “Lokomotiv” in the Gagarin Cup before the start of the KHL playoffs.
Lokomotiv lost to Magnitogorsk in the final “Metallurgist” with a score of 0 to 4.
— Why did the final of the KHL playoffs turn out to be so fleeting, why 4-0 in favor of Magnitogorsk?
— I watched all the matches of the final, I really liked Metallurg’s play in all areas of the field, their speed and confidence, their domination.
But from the start of the playoffs, I was immediately sure that Lokomotiv would win. There was no doubt they would win. Then we see it in the finale. “Lokomotiv” physically sank, I don’t know why,” Goncharov said on the show “Loud!”.
Metallurg became three-time winner of the Gagarin Cup; the Magnitogorsk club had already won it in the 2013/14 and 2015/16 seasons.
