The sixth match of the series between “Savages” and “Bluesmen” was, as expected, the last. Yet these teams have very different weight categories, with the recent Stanley Cup winner St. Speaking of the trophy experience that Louis had so much and Minnesota had little hope of shooting. When the series got to a point where every mistake could cost a team playoff elimination, the Musicians sprang into action and played near-perfect, while the Wilds dived into power moves, making twice as many turnovers as the puck, and fully finding themselves. cannot be defended while playing in the majority.
With such components, it would be difficult to defeat such a strong opponent, especially since the main characters of Minnesota are strikers. Kirill Kaprizov and Kevin Fiala – in the decisive duel they remained silent. And if the Russian in general has nothing to condemn himself – Kirill scored 7 goals in 6 matches, scored 8 points and took the lead in the sniper dispute, then Switzerland frankly disappointed, without leaving even once.
In the sixth game of the series, St. Louis was leading all the way and the key was in the second period, when the Musicians hit guest goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury three times. The fourth puck of his team was sent to the opponents by the Russian striker. Vladimir Tarasenkowho scored the fifth goal in the current playoffs and gained a numerical advantage.
“Minnesota” was able to break the goalkeeper of “Musicians” Jordan Binnington only in the third period, when it was no longer possible to organize a full-fledged comeback. A 2-1 lead in the series, Savages lost three games in a row, and even Kaprizov’s presence didn’t save Dean Evason’s wards from relegation.
“This is a great group of actors. It’s a pity he left so soon” – Obviously after the match, said the author of the single-disc “Wild” defender Matt Damba.
Minnesota had 6 players who scored 20 or more goals in the regular season, but the team only scored 16, with Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek recording 10 of them.
“Proud of our hockey players. I know how difficult it is to “close” such an opponent. We’ve completely changed our game throughout the series.”– said the head coach of the Blues Craig Berubi.
“The opponent played desperately, but we managed to match. We stepped up and did a great job. We have a great team and I’m looking forward to the next challenge.”summarized Jordan Binnington.
