Seven days
The Omsk Vanguard won the first match after the death of Alexei Cherepanov a week after the tragic death in the Chekhov near Moscow, 19-year-old Alexei Cherepanov, Omsk Vanguard, returned to the ice of his native arena, which was still farewell to the rising star of Russian hockey. It is clear that the mood of the hawks was not the best, but also the opponent with fate and the calendar was given out: one of the main outsiders of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) - Minsk Dynamo. Nevertheless, the victory in this meeting was given to Yaromir Jagra and his partners are extremely difficult. The guests led in the account, and then each time found way to salvation after the Vanguard went forward in the account. But there were no response to the fourth goal. The goalkeeper was replaced by a field player, but this move turned into a hung into an empty gate.
And Omsk’s final siren greeted in silence and not at all stingy tears. They again escorted Alexei Cherepanov. Indeed, under the seventh number, which before the match was immortalized under the arches of the arena, now no one will ever perform in Omsk. In addition, the form of "Vanguard" now reminds of this loss: each member of the team on the sweater, in addition to its own number, now also indicates the seven of Cherepanov.
Meanwhile, the two main favorite of the season - the current champion of the country from Ufa Salavat Yulaev and the slightly unexpected leader from the Moscow Region Atlant - continue to set the tone for the entire championship of the KHL. And this despite the fact that the Mytishchi club on Sunday suffered its third defeat in a season, which seemed to have not foreshadowed. Even if we pay tribute to the ice to the owners of the Magnitogorsk Metallurg, it should be noted that before the beginning, as it seemed, the final period nothing foreshadowed the troubles for guests. They were very comfortable in the account (first 4: 1, and a little later - 5: 2) and, one might say, they controlled the course of the game, but in the last 20 -minute everything suddenly turned upside down.
The Magnitogorsk started, came to life, and managed to turn the script for the unsuccessful match. As a result, Atlant had to be pleased with the fact that the meeting was brought to the shootouts. According to the results of which the sensational leaders of the championship lost, but their faces did not lose. To lose in bullets in Magnitogorsk is not shameful for anyone. Especially when the host team manages to return to the game, yielding three goals.
As for Salavat Yulaev, this team does not slow down. After the victories over the HC Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo with a total score of 10: 2, the winning series of Ufa residents has 10 matches. And the Bashkirs are clearly not going to dwell on such an achievement.
At the same time, one of the most noticeable actors of the hockey week was the goalkeeper of the hopeless, it would seem, HC Ministry of Internal Affairs. Judicial whistles are mainly distributed not in favor of the police near Moscow. These, of course, are their internal affairs, but the team is clearly far from everything. And if it weren’t for the goalkeeper Michael Garnett, it is difficult to even try to imagine the scale of the disaster that has punished the Ministry of Internal Affairs around the corner of each meeting of the three -match exit tour along the Chelyabinsk -Magnitogorsk -Ufa route. The club’s attack dared in this cruise on two abandoned goals, which did not really decide anything, but the club trained his goalkeeper plenty of way. Garnett, abandoned by all, spinning at the gate, reflecting the countless attacks of the opponent. If not for the goalkeeper, his team would probably miss much more goals in this visiting session. For example, in the same Magnitogorsk, Garnett tightly closed the road to his goal for two and a half periods.
As you know, the water also sharpens the stone, and the hockey "metallurgists" eventually had to cope with one in the frame. As a result, this happened: Garnett trembled. The final advantage of Magnitogorsk looked as impressive as fair - 5: 0. The HC Ministry of Internal Affairs deserved less mercy, Michael Garnett - big honors. The arithmetic mean no one except the owners did not suit.
