Omsk Vanguard won the title of champion of the Russian hockey super League. In the fifth decisive match, which the Omsks held on the site of Magnitogorsk Metallurg, in a series of shootouts "Hawks" were able to tear out the victory and win a series.
Recall that before that, both teams won two victories, and each team prevailed on their site. Thus, the advantage was on the side of Loko, which won the regular championship and the last match was held in the arena of Ivan Ramazan.
If we talk about the game itself, then all four periods of the team made exceptional emphasis on defense. Moreover, the game basically did not enter the game, but the defenders who played extremely neatly, freeing goalkeepers from excess load. So, in the first period, one can note the moment when the Omsks played the three of the hosts. However, at the end of the "hawks", twice missed the opportunity to open an account.
In the second period, the initiative was entirely on the side of the Vanguard, which spent several excellent attacks, which almost ended with the washers on the goal of the Norma Marakla, but the former goalkeeper of Atlanta Traceers coped with all the rackets of the Vanguard. Especially at this moment, Kaygorodov and Sushinsky stood out, who organized two attacks at the beginning of the period.
The third period has changed the script of the game. The Magnitogorsk looked like a spring that was allowed to dissolve, and she prolonged the guests. However, at the beginning of the third 20-minute, Magnitogorsk missed the puck, but it was not counted after several video replacements viewed by the judges.
In the additional minutes of the meeting, no one wanted to take risks, unless, you can recall the sortie of Magnitogorsk to the gates of Omsk. It was evident that both teams reconciled with the lottery, which the bullets were, and in this lottery, luck accompanied the Vanguard.
So, the Russian championship ended with the victory of the Omsk hockey club, which lives with the money of Roman Abramovich Sibneft. As it turned out, the club did not need a prestigious foreign coach, who was Ivan Glinka last year. The team only had to play, and the fans just believe when the "hawks" failed the beginning and the middle of the current championship. The ending of the season passed with the advantage of the Vanguard, and in the playoffs it was proved that this second wind was enough not only for a regular season.
