Command Analysis

Krasnaya Armiya

Current form
For reaching the 1/8 finals, the Red Army fought in a play-in series with Mytishchi Atlant and, as a result of three confrontations, outplayed the opponent and reached the Kharlamov Cup playoffs. However, the opponent for the army team was the current winner of the trophy, with whom the game did not go well, and Pavel Baulin's team has not so many prospects for reaching the quarterfinals. The series against SKA-1946 started in St. Petersburg, where the Moscow Army suffered two defeats and theoretically secured a vacation and preparation for the next season. In the first match, the CSKA youth tried to give the opponent a fight, but they did not have enough strength and skill in the final stage, and in the second period they only threw twice at the goal of the Petersburgers – 3:4 in total. We made a great start in the last match, we scored first, but we gave the initiative to the owners of the ice, and the final siren recorded a loss of 1:3. Let's see if the coaching staff worked on the mistakes before today's game.
