Metallurg was defeated by the Vanguard in the sixth match of the starting round of the Gagarin Cup and flew out of the draw. The current champions failed the second period and allowed Nail Yakupov to arrange a double, but in the final segment almost recouped from the score of 0: 3. He completed the struggle for the trophy and CSKA. The Ilya Vorobyov team missed six goals at home and opened the Dynamo Minsk path to the quarter-finals of the KHL playoffs. In turn, Ak Bars crushed the “motorist” and restored his balance in the confrontation. Moreover, the Kazan in the debut managed to distinguish themselves three times in 153 seconds. The “avant -garde” “Metallurg” in the confrontation with the “Vanguard” practically committed the impossible. Having suffered three defeats in a row, he then won two victories and reduced the lag to a minimum. The point remained small – to take the upper hand and restore the balance. They carried out work on the mistakes after the previous match and did not allow failures in the starting period. On the contrary, they sought to score as soon as possible, then to give the initiative to the guests and sting them on counterattacks. In the tenth minute, Nile Yakupov even managed to excel. Ryan Potiner made a passage along the left edge and carried out a shot on a nickle, from where the striker shot Ilya Nabokov. But the judges, having studied the repetition of the episode, decided that the game took place with a hand. Also on the topic of the kings of the overtime: Sky “Dynamo” in the Gagarin Cup, “Tractor” recouped from 0: 4 SKA Dynamo in the fifth match of the starting round of the Gagarin Cup. In the main time, the Petersburgers took three times in the count, but allowed … Further, Magnitogorsk, who had nothing to lose, still took possession of the advantage. However, Nikita Serebryakov held on top and did not allow himself to upset either Daniil Vovchenko or Nikita Mikhailis. The episode was especially remembered when Alexander Petunin crawled out onto the majority, but the goalkeeper brought shields in a timely manner. But in the second period, the intrigue suddenly died quickly. The Hawks sharply increased the pressure and locked the opponents in their zone. The goal was not long in coming. Mikhail Gulyaev broke out on the left flank and tried to give PAS to Read Bush. The program was intercepted, but the defender immediately picked up the puck and sent it to the near nine from the left circle. And after only 49 seconds, Yakupov distinguished himself by all the rules. True, he immediately gave a chance to the current champions, having received two minutes for a dangerous game with a highly raised club. The guests did not use the majority, although Vovchenko even hit the rack. And in equal compositions they were again punished by Yakupov. It all started with an unsuccessful program of Valery Orekhov from behind the gate right on Nikolai Prokhorkin. The striker’s throw came above, but the partner was the first to finish and designed a double. For him, these goals in the KHL playoffs became the first in more than two years. The honor of Andrei Razin’s wards, they did not give up to the last and almost created a Cumbek. In the 45th minute, Dmitry Silantyev scored with a whip shot into the far corner. Then Omich was brought up by Damir Sharipzyanov, who received a double small penalty for a blow with a club in the face of Mikhailis. Metallurg had no right not to take this opportunity. Danila Yurov in the 52nd minute reduced the lag to a minimum. It was full of time. In the end, in the end, the fans of the hosts had to be nervous. Razin changed Nabokov to the sixth field. And then Michael Maclaud also went to the bench 53 seconds before the siren for the opponent’s delayed with a club. But the “hawks” calmly survived the four and stepped into the next round. And the current champions completed the defense of the trophy at the very start of the playoffs. The Dynamo History, in addition to Metallurg, completed the struggle for the trophy of another Grand-CSKA. Moreover, the army team failed with the Dynamo Minsk. On the other hand, they spent the extremely unstable season and allowed the Belarusian team to go around themselves in the struggle for the fourth place in the Western Conference table. Also on the topic from shame to success: CSKA missed seven goals in 28 minutes in the Gagarin Cup, “Spartak” abandoned five for 17 CSKA to visit a humiliating defeat from the Dynamo Minsk in the fifth match of the starting round of the Gagarin Cup. Ilya’s wards … As for the reporting series, Ilya Vorobyov’s wards seemed to come to their senses after two in a row in a row and restored their balance. However, they immediately received a blow in the form of seven missed goals in the fifth meeting. In the sixth game, they looked no worse than rivals for two periods. In the starting segment, the teams exchanged goals. Nicolas Melosh and Maxim Sorkin distinguished themselves. And even the exact throw of Yegor Borikov in the 28th minute did not affect the course of the game. Muscovites actively walked forward, but could not upset Vasily Demchenko. However, the final segment turned out for the red-blue failure. At first, Ivan Prosvetov lost the distant shot by Joshua Bruka. Then Yegor Afanasyev pushed the shell into the net with Demchenko. The judge sent the attacker to the bench for the stab of the opponent with a club. Vorobyov went to Va-Bank and took a request, considering that the puck crossed the line before contact with the ward occurred. However, the referee took the side of the guests. Thus, CSKA also received a command penalty for an unsuccessful request and remained the three of them. Vitaly Pinchuk did not have the right to take this chance – 1: 4. In the answer, the army team changed the Enlightenment to the sixth field nine minutes before the siren, but only missed twice. The pill was sweetened a little only to the reducing lag Vladislav Solzelnev. And as part of Minsk residents, one can distinguish the young Borikov, who designed a double in the second game in a row and with five goals dividing the lead in the snipers of the Gagarin Cup with Sheldon Redpal. But the main thing, Dynamo for the first time in history, made its way into the second round of the KHL playoffs. The army team, on the contrary, flew again in the starting round. And in the media there has already been information about the possible return of Sergei Fedorov to the coaching bridge of the team. Perhaps, if Vorobyov loses his job after Igor Larionov, no one will be surprised. The “motorist” was also “Ak Bars” on the verge of departure, which was inferior to the “motorist” in the series with a score of 2-3. However, at home, Kazan crushed Yekaterinburgers. The outcome of the confrontation was a foregone conclusion in the first five minutes. In just 153 seconds, the guests missed three times. Moreover, Evgeny Alikin, who became one of the main characters of the previous match, did not help out at all. In particular, after throwing Nikita Melonak, the puck leaked through the ammunition to him. The goalkeeper hastened to throw her out of the alignment, but the shell had already crawled over the line. Then the goalkeeper could not cope with the distant click of Mitchell Miller almost from the side. Nicolai Zavarukhin changed the ward to Vladimir Galkin. But he also missed twice. Moreover, as part of the opponents, the double was designed by Eric O’Dell. The Canadian, after the transition from Dynamo Moscow, could not adapt to a new place for a long time and in the regular championship abandoned only twice. But now he distinguished himself as much for one game. The only spoon of tar for the three -time owners of the Gagarin Cup was a goal of prestige from Danil Romantsev. Timur Bilyalov was close to drawing up a cracker, and did not suffer quite a bit. And the fate of the ticket to the second round will be decided on April 7 in Yekaterinburg.
