Gagarin Cup won the Kazan "Ak Bars"

Hockey players of the Kazan Ak Bars won the seventh match of the final series of the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv with a score of 1: 0 and for the first time in the history of domestic hockey became the owners of the Gagarin Cup. The only washer in the key dispute was abandoned in the final third, Alexei Morozov.

The meeting with equal chances of success turned out to be tense and interesting, but at the key moment the Ak Bars was more lucky. In the middle of the final period, the judge, who on this day more willingly removed the guests, closed their eyes to violating Zaripov (in the attack) against Vashichek, and the further development of the combination led to the Grabs of Alexei Morozov.

The Yaroslavls, of course, tried to draw the attention of the arbitrators to this "piquant" episode, but they did not dare to cancel the gate. As a result, Ak Bars won with a minimum score and prevailed in the final series.

And the Lokomotiv hockey players can only blame themselves for “letting go” the opponent in the second game , and could not “give up” him in the sixth meeting.
