KHL. Gagarin Cup Final. "Lokomotiv" - a strong defensive team. "Traktor" - a strong offensive team, but also capable of defending when needed. This was proven in the first meeting of the final. Neither team scored in the first two periods, but in the third, the hosts responded to two away goals with one of their own.
For the Yaroslavl team, this final is crucial. They had already competed for the cup in a previous year, but unexpectedly lost 0:4 to "Metallurg." This year, "Lokomotiv" acquired a very experienced and valuable forward, Radulov, and once again made it to the most important stage. So one can imagine the expectations that the coaches and fans have for the "Loko" players.
In short, the hosts are in desperate need of a win. And their main weapon is their tough defense. Let's hope they can rely on it.
