The series was the only one in the current playoff round to require the full seven games, providing fans with unpredictable and highly competitive hockey.\n\nKrikunov pointed to Lokomotiv's remarkable resilience as the defining factor. On two separate occasions during the series, the team found itself trailing by two goals. In both instances, they managed to claw their way back into the game and ultimately secure the win, with each of those crucial victories being decided in overtime. The coach described this feat as achieving something \"near impossible,\" underscoring the mental and physical fortitude required to execute such comebacks under playoff pressure.\n\nWhen analyzing what Avangard lacked, Krikunov identified a clear decline in their physical performance as the series progressed. He noted that while Avangard often started games with good energy and movement, their intensity would noticeably drop as the match wore on. This physical fade-out proved costly, especially in the extended overtime periods where stamina becomes paramount.\n\nIn contrast, Lokomotiv demonstrated exceptional physical preparation throughout the grueling series. Krikunov emphasized that the team consistently had the energy reserves needed to compete deep into games, even after playing full regulation time plus multiple overtime periods. This endurance was a key component of their ability to score late goals and force decisive outcomes in their favor.\n\nBeyond physical conditioning, the coach highlighted Lokomotiv's strong moral and psychological readiness. He connected this directly to their status as the reigning champions, suggesting that the experience and mindset of a title-winning squad provided an inherent advantage in high-stakes situations. This championship pedigree appeared to give them the confidence and composure needed to execute under pressure when facing elimination or deficit scenarios.\n\nThe series itself was a testament to the competitive balance within the league, with both teams trading victories and momentum shifts. However, Lokomotiv's ability to combine physical endurance with championship-level mental toughness ultimately proved to be the decisive combination that propelled them to the next round of the Gagarin Cup playoffs.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Former Russian national team coach Vladimir Krikunov analyzes Lokomotiv's dramatic 4-3 series win over Avangard, highlighting their incredible comebacks and superior physical conditioning.","327856913133867009","326135624887177216","Championship","0","2026-05-07T15:06:40Z","krikunov-praises-lokomotiv-s-near-impossible-comeback-against-avangard-in","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fhockey\u002Fnews-6459834-krikunov-lokomotiv-v-serii-s-avangardom-sovershil-pochti-nevozmozhnoe.html","326257611806609408","Lokomotiv",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326222707169431552","326257539962376192","326257613643714560","326257615342407680","326257766752587776","326257777523560448","326257792321064960",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Anderlecht","Como","Hassania Agadir","FC Winterthur","Fortaleza EC","Al-Wasl FC","Comoros","Krikunov Praises Lokomotiv's 'Near Impossible' Comeback Against Avangard in Gagarin Cup Semifinal",[76,102,128,164],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":78,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":93,"title":101},"Sinclair Armstrong, 22, joins Göztepe on a four-year deal.
