Former head coach of the Russian national team and Kazan Ak Bars Vladimir Plushev talked about the fourth game of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) Eastern Conference final series, which will be played between Kazan and Omsk Avangard. Expressing his concern about the performance of Ak Bars in the second match of the match, the specialist emphasized that the team should draw conclusions from their game, otherwise the opponents will use their chances.
“Ak Bars” – “Avangarde” is a basic confrontation. I don’t think news will come out here and neither of them will play to win. In the second match of Ak Bars at home, I was a little shocked when they were defeated by the psychological advantage with a score of 0:3 in two periods because they played a very difficult first game. For the second match, they had to go out without any problems and flap their wings easily. But it turned out completely different. In the third game, which was again difficult, Ak Bars won – if they draw conclusions from their own experience, I think they should increase their turnover and solve the problem of reaching the Gagarin Cup final. And if not, then Omsk will draw conclusions. Nothing can happen here,” Plyushchev told socialbites.ca.
After three games, Ak Bars leads the series with a score of 2-1. The fourth match will be played on Friday, April 7, in Omsk, with the match kicking off at 16:30 Moscow time. Recall that in the Western Conference finals, CSKA and SKA fought for access to the decisive series of the Gagarin Cup, and after two games the score was 1-1.
