Gagarin Cup Playoffs 2021

[vorky]

After the 2nd GC playoff round, the total attendance is 300k, average attendance is 5007. Since Avangard made it to the next round & having a small venue, the attendance may decrease.

If looking at other European leagues, the Czech league (TELH) has played also two rounds (pre-round & QF). A total of 31 games have been played, total attendance is zero (0).

Yeah, nobody likes hockey in Czech Republic...

Since you've been so intent on updating on Minsk's achievements why not take a look at Belarussian Extraliga? They are about to begin finals, after all. With no restrictions on attendance, too. Game 7 of the semifinal series between Yunost and Zhlobin attracted 820 viewers in the 8800 capacity arena. I'd love you to analyze those massive numbers of that burgeoning hockey country.

Thank you for the update.

I follow just the top leagues in Sweden (SHL), Finland (Liiga), Switzerland (NL), Germany (DEL), the Czech Republic (TELH) & the KHL. They are considered the leading hockey leagues in Europe, so I follow them. It is not in my power to follow all leagues all over the globe.

Dominant showing by CSKA today. Not sure SKA has the firepower to put up enough goals to win 4 four games...

 

[SoundAndFury]

It's starting to look like maybe that Hrubec trade was actually worth it.

P.S. If it jinxes him so be it, I'm really tired of series where one team can't score to save their lives.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Did Omsk hang on? 2-0 when i left... Kazan need a new plan

 

[Eye of Ra]

Dahlbeck is considered one of the best shutdown d in KHL?

 

[Rigafan]

Just a random comment, it feels like CSKA/SKA get all the hate for being so dominate but in the 11 years of the KHL there has been 6 different winners of the cup, i'd say thats not so bad.

Ok sure we might be about to see the next 15 years CSKA dynasty

Things are getting kind of more interesting in the SKA and CSKA matchup.

Hoping for a Game 7. It would make for one heck of a chapter in an already great rivalry

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

Fitting that SKA won after Burdasov's goal got called back because of the stupid offside challenge.

A quick update, after 69 games of the 2021 GC playoffs, the average attendance is 5141.

Sweden (SHL) & Swiss (NL) started the pre-playoff, just a few games played, the attendance is zero (0). The Czech league plays the semifinal, the attendance is still zero (0).

What makes you say that? CSKA is loosing players every year, and the school hasn't produced anyone significant for a while. SKA is continuously feasting on CSKA products (Ozhiganov, Kuzmenko, Dyblenko etc...) as well as others. So I am not at all sure it's possible.
In addition ska has at least two farm clubs in the KHL (vityaz'/sochi), where their prospects get PT and then join SKA once they make progress.

Thats fair, replace SKA with CSKA in my post and you get it!

What.A.Game.It.Was.

 

[ozo]

I saw only the second period, I genuinely can't understand how Omsk turned it around, Ak Bars was all over them...

 

[Val]

Crazy series, crazy match

 

[cska78]

I hope CSKA does not underestimate Avangard. Our style is too defensive, having players like Okulov, Shalunov, Slepyshev, Mamin, Leipsic - we need to attack more and put pressure on oppponent's D

An update

KHL average attendance 5214 after the Final #1. Since Avangard is in the Final, the average attendance might drop.

Sweden (SHL) with average attendance 2 fans/game, Finland (Liiga) & Switzerland (NL) with zero (0), the Czechs (TELH) without fans until final, the Final #1 with 477 fans, the Final #2 with 424 fans.

German DEL has not started the playoff yet, the regular season played without fans, avarage attendance zero (0).

Hopefully Avangards still this good with player recruitment when they move back to omsk. They were fine before though

 

[cska78]

Hope the first game was a fluke...Looking forward to game 2. it is to our advantage, that we are practically playing the whole series at home.

Bob Hartley and Ilya Kovalchuk is giving me major 2006 vibes.

And Ilya has to be one of the Russian hockey GOATs.
