Athletistic / Hockey Russia’s honored coach Vladimir Krikunov has shared his thoughts on the latest Gagarin Cup series between CSKA and Metallurg Magnitogorsk.

“The 2022 Gagarin Cup final is interesting and, frankly, I didn’t expect the two matches in Moscow to be for Magnitogorsk. But, apparently, the CSKA players gave their full strength in the thriller of seven matches with SKA. But “Magnitogorsk “, on the contrary, had the opportunity to recover from the semi-finals. In general, the teams play very well, and I mean, no matter how the final ends, Sergei Fedorov has a good first season”, quotes Championat.com Krikunov.

Recall that today, in the fourth game of the final series of the Gagarin Cup, Metallurg beat CSKA in Moscow 1:0 and led the series 3:1.
The fifth game of the series will take place on April 26 in Magnitogorsk.
