A play-off permission for the Railmen!
There were almost 89 minutes of the game and only 3 dropped pucks last Sunday. In a hard and long game the “Lokomotiv” hockey team won a pass to the next stage of the play-off. “Atlant” (a team from Podmoscovye) went on holiday. The game was equal and principled — as the fans wanted to see.
On the eve of Sunday the score in Head-to-Head games was 2:1 in favor of “Loko”. The Sunday game was all-in-all for both teams. By the way, there were lots of risky moments by each team — lots of troubles for the goalkeepers! However, the score was 0:0 since the 48th minit. The first puck was dropped by guests, but Loko’s squared the score immediately (Vashichek with the pass of Zednik).
There were 2 additionals periods to spot the winner. There are no bullits on this stage of the play-off, so the winner is who score first. The point was made at the tenth minute of the second overtime by Alexey Mikhnov (assistents — Vashichek and Irgl). The season runs on for “Lokomotiv”. The next contender for “Loko” is going to be “Spartak” (Moscow). The first game will be in Yaroslavl. Dates of the show is on March 19th and 20th.
