Before the match
Magnitogorsk “Metallurg” at the end of the regular season did not choose an opponent for the first round, but calmly won the Eastern Conference and flew to Khabarovsk twice in a short time – it seems that Magnitogorsk’s competitors were afraid of this trip. As a result, Razin’s team was not without problems, but they defeated Amur, and in the quarterfinals they received as opponents the not very powerful Lokomotiv, which in two matches brought Avangard to the resignation of the head coach, and Spartak – a team playing bright hockey , and allowing the opponent to respond in kind. The start of the series shows that the Urals can be happy with this situation.
The Muscovites, one might say, missed the first game of the confrontation altogether – that certainly wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Magnitogorsk calmly dictated its will to the opponent, scored three goals by the middle of the second period and calmly finished what they started with a goal into an empty net – 4:0. The “cracker” of 20-year-old goalkeeper Ilya Nabokov, the toothlessness of Spartak’s attack, which the entire hockey community admired throughout the entire season, and the understanding that it will not be possible to beat the best team in the East just by removing veteran Ilya Kovalchuk from the lineup.
In meeting number two, the legendary striker appeared on the ice, but this did not solve Spartak’s problems – Nabokov extended his dry streak in the quarterfinals to 120 minutes, and the hosts only needed one goal to win. Covey tried to get the team going with his fists, didn’t take advantage of an excellent scoring chance, and in general was even more noticeable than those who, due to their status, were supposed to drag the red and white team – we’re talking regarding Nikolai Goldobin and company. Feats in the regular season are, of course, great. But Spartak is playing the main matches of the hockey year now: without bright performances from its leaders, the team risks going on vacation very soon.
Forecast for the match “Spartak” – “Metallurg”
233 goals – that’s how many Zhamnov’s team scored in the first part of the season. No other KHL club had it anymore. In a situation where Spartak is two defeats away from finishing the season, its stars must finally show themselves in the quarter finals of the Gagarin Cup. Will this be enough to win? The question is complex. But this time, through joint efforts, the teams simply must please the fans with truly effective hockey.
