The most valuable player in the Gagarin Cup playoffs was Metallurg goalkeeper Ilya Nabokov

“Thank you very much to the team: the guys helped me a lot, they caught me. Everyone on our team deserves this title. First of all, I’ll call my parents,” Nabokov said.

By the way, it was the Metallurg goalkeeper who was recognized as the most valuable player in the Gagarin Cup playoffs.

And the author of the most important goal, Zernov, was simply at a loss for words after winning the final:

“Words cannot express how I feel. I’m very happy for our young team!”

“Who would have thought that they would take me to the training camp! At the beginning of the season I was slipping, but then I improved. It doesn’t matter that we weren’t considered favorites for the final, the experts have their job. The main thing is that we are champions!” – said forward Roman Kantserov after the match.
