Extraneous objects

Today, the quarterfinals of the Gagarin Cup begin only one pair in the first round of the Gagarin Cup, sorting out the relationship, to the fifth match - Bykovsky CSKA and the Vorobyevskaya Lada. Having exchanged victories in Moscow, the teams did the same procedure in Togliatti, and again the army team had to recoup.

To recoup with Lada is an ungrateful business, but Muscovites have fed in the debut of the fourth match. The Linsman did not see that the puck left the owners zone at the moment when they had already rolled out for their own attack, leaving Kirill Starkov on their heel. Jonathan Hedstrom returned the puck from behind the blue line, and Vasily Koshechkina shot Vasily Koshechkin in a duel on a handgrack.

Lada played only one of the two of the two (two goals were formed after the murderous click of Denis Kulyash in the majority), which did not suit Togliatti fans, who began to throw ice with all kinds of garbage after the final siren. The occasion, by the way, was given by the hockey players themselves, who almost came up with a hand -to -hand. The official conclusion of the Continental Hockey League on this episode looks like this: “On March 6, 2009, after the end of the Gagarin Cup match“ Lada ”, CSKA occurred between the team players. This conflict was followed by inadequate actions of the spectators present at the stands of the athletes, who began to throw extraneous objects on the hockey platform. The KHL competition department considers the documents related to this episode. Based on the results of the proceedings to the guilty in the incident, penalties provided for by the Rules of the KHL championship will be applied. ”

Narround objects (that is, not clubs, not crags, no helmets, etc.) on ice not first appear in CSKA matches with Lada. Even at the time of the Tikhonovsko-Tsygurov confrontation, a similar case was in the freshly built Ice Palace of CSKA. After that, Gennady Tsygurov complained that Viktor Tikhonov repeatedly pointed out the need for educational work with the audience in the province, and he himself, they say, is not able to ensure the normal behavior of fans in the capital.

Lada, I remember, then won in Moscow. And on March 8, 2009, in the last match of the series of 1/8 finals, the Gagarin Cup lost. In the decisive match, the innovation of Russian championships could be tested - endless overtime (without shootouts) to the first abandoned puck. The army, however, did not bring the matter to this. Two small fines of the goalkeeper Koshechkin turned into two washers into the gates of the Toltin. In the first case, the goalkeeper was punished for the intentional shift of the gate (the guests remained against the five rivals), in the second - for the attack of a player who did not own the puck. The third goal of CSKA was scored by Anton Boot with a defender with a throw. There was no longer time and money to recoup with Lada. The army team brought the series to the victorious outcome, but went out in the quarter -finals for the Moscow Dynamo in the best state. The blue and blue in the first round of the Gagarin Cup spent much less strength and emotions, and from the 4th they have completely rested. The first match of the power derby will take place in the CSKA LDS today.

On March 10, they will play their first quarterfinal match Ak Bars and Avangard, and on Wednesday the series “Lokomotiv” - “Spartak” and “Atlant” - Metallurg (Magnitogorsk) begins on Wednesday. Such couples were formed not by a hard grid, but were determined based on the results of sowing, that is, based on the standings of the regular championship. The first is with the last, the second - with the penultimate and so on. A similar principle will be applied in the compilation of steam of the semifinal series.

The main results of the first round were the departure of the current champion of Russia and the winner of the regular championship of Salavat Yulaev and, as a result, the resignation of the head coach of the Ufa. Sergei Mikhalev, a representative of the Chelyabinsk coaching cohort, with whom many associated most of the contractual results in the championships of Russia, in the Gagarin Cup turned out to be an outsider.
