Command Analysis

Torpedo Gorky

Current form
The team did not appear out of nowhere – Torpedo-Gorky participated in the 2019/20 season, but financial problems prevented it from continuing its performance. The situation was changed by the new philosophy of the club from Nizhny Novgorod, which relied on young people. This season, Alexey Isakov's team was pleasantly surprised. After a long absence from the VHL, the team was able to take a high seventh place in the standings and immediately made it to the playoffs. Torpedo-Gorky plays in a similar style to Igor Larionov's players, and also gives regular playing practice to the players of the main team. The team's start in the playoffs turned out to be, in principle, successful. The game against the Moscow army team was held on equal terms, ended in a 2-2 draw, but in overtime Nizhny Novgorod put the squeeze on the opponent and won the first victory in the series to four victories. Let's see how the squad prepared for the next battle and how the coaching staff worked on the mistakes.

Zvezda Chekhov

Current form
The star has never won the Petrov Cup in its history, but in the 2019/20 season it won the regular season of the VHL, and this is the only achievement of the Moscow team in the major league. Rinat Khasanov's team completed the minimum task for the season in the current championship and made it to the Petrov Cup playoffs. In 64 championship matches, the Army team was able to win 37 times, and suffered 10 fewer defeats. The team scored 81 points, which allowed them to take tenth place in the standings. The club plays well, combines a lot, but does not always fulfill the coaching assignment for the game. The draw in the 1/8 finals fell on a difficult opponent in the person of Torpedo-Gorky. In the first match of the series, the squad fought back twice during the match and put the game into overtime. However, they did not have enough strength for an additional period, and the Muscovites suffered their first defeat in the series – 2:3 in the end.
