The Dragons in the first half of the season seriously suggested playoffs. And many began to rejoice that finally the Chinese, although temporarily settled in the suburbs, would get to the off-season. But then Red Star thought, thought and decided: what are you, no playoffs, why do we need it? Absolutely weak-willed defeat in recent matches. Lokomotiv flew 0-3, Vityaz 0-1. Each time Kunlun played his ice. With such a defense, of course, it’s difficult to score points, but the attack dealt with these problems before. Now everything is much more complicated with the implementation of moments. Each puck is fed with great difficulty.

The inhabitants of Minsk have been treading on “thin ice” for a long time. The playoffs are in question. If I had been told in early November that Dynamo Minsk would attack on the verge of 8-9 positions, I would have sprained my finger in the temple. The Minsk team then took second place in the conference, behind only SKA. But the reality is that now the “bison” score every point with incredible effort. In the segment of seven meetings so far, they have only won one in regular time, and that with a modest 2:0 score. Things are not moving forward at the moment. In eight fights, only Spartak scored three goals, but in the end they lost 3:4. I also remember the fiasco with Amur 1-2, and also with today’s opponent 2-6.
