The hockey legend pointed to a recurring psychological issue that plagued the team throughout the entire matchup.\n\nAccording to Sushinsky, a critical pattern emerged whenever Avangard managed to take the lead. Instead of maintaining their aggressive, offensive style that had initially stifled Lokomotiv's game, the team would retreat into a defensive shell. This shift in mentality, he argued, represented a fundamental loss of confidence and initiative.\n\nThe decisive seventh game of the series served as a stark illustration of this problem. Sushinsky observed that the same collapse occurred when Avangard held a lead, ultimately costing them the game and the series. He emphasized that such a passive approach is unacceptable, particularly when holding a two-goal advantage.\n\nThe former star forward attributed this tactical and mental breakdown squarely to coaching decisions. He stressed that when a team's system is working and producing results, it is the coach's responsibility to ensure the players continue executing that successful game plan rather than abandoning it under pressure.\n\nBeyond the psychological factors, Sushinsky highlighted a significant roster construction issue that hampered Avangard's efforts. He pointed to the team's lack of depth, noting the complete absence of young players on the bench. This shortage forced the coaching staff to dress only eleven forwards for crucial playoff games, a situation Sushinsky described as a strange and costly error.\n\nThe physical toll of this short bench was particularly damaging. Sushinsky explained that forwards bear a greater workload than defensemen, making the lack of a twelfth forward an even more glaring problem during the intense, high-stakes playoff series. The cumulative fatigue from this imbalance likely contributed to the team's late-series collapses.\n\nDespite the disappointing outcome, Sushinsky acknowledged the overall quality of the series, describing it as 'crazy' or intense. However, his analysis makes clear that Avangard's defeat was not simply a matter of luck, but the result of identifiable strategic and personnel shortcomings that ultimately proved decisive against a resilient Lokomotiv side.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","World champion Maxim Sushinsky analyzes Avangard's 3-4 series loss to Lokomotiv, citing defensive collapse and bench depth issues as key factors in their Gagarin Cup semifinal exit.","327830150471225345","0","2026-05-07T13:26:58Z","sushinsky-avangard-s-fear-cost-them-the-gagarin-cup-semifinal-against-lokomotiv","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Fhockey\u002Fnews-6459724-sushinskij-avangard-nachal-boyatsya-igrat-s-lokomotivom-i-polnostyu-otdal-iniciativu.html","326257611806609408","Lokomotiv",[54,57,58,59,60,61,62,63],"326222707169431552","326257539962376192","326257546392244224","326257613643714560","326257766752587776","326257777523560448","326257792321064960",[55,65,66,67,68,69,70,71],"Anderlecht","Como","Nottingham Forest","Hassania Agadir","Fortaleza EC","Al-Wasl FC","Comoros","Sushinsky: Avangard's Fear Cost Them the Gagarin Cup Semifinal Against Lokomotiv",[74,104,136,155],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":75,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":76,"leagueId":77,"leagueName":78,"matchId":49,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":94,"title":103},"Torino's Petrachi targets left-footed defender Fasson as Ebosse's Lokomotiv Moscow contract nears June 30 expiry; Brazilian wants to leave Russia.","335670957760843777","326135624706822144","Serie A","2026-05-29T04:30:00Z","torino-s-defensive-targets-what-fasson-ebosse-moves-mean","Tuttosport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.tuttosport.com\u002Fnews\u002Fcalcio\u002Fserie-a\u002Ftorino\u002F2026\u002F05\u002F29-148921382\u002Ftoro_mosse_per_la_difesa_petrachi_valuta_fasson\u002F","326257539698135040","Torino",[83,54,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,57],"326257796423094272","326222707337203712","326222712592666624","326222713054040064","326255039171530752","326255041851691008","326257546220277760","326257695210344448",[84,55,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,65],"Russia","Standard Liege","Congo DR","Haiti","Dinamo Minsk","Cherno More Varna","Chelsea","Signal","Torino's Defensive Targets: What Fasson, Ebosse Moves Mean",{"awayTeamId":105,"awayTeamName":106,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":107,"homeTeamId":108,"homeTeamName":109,"id":110,"leagueId":111,"leagueName":112,"matchId":113,"matchName":114,"publishedAt":115,"slug":116,"sourceName":117,"sourceURL":118,"teamId":105,"teamName":106,"teamIds":119,"teamNames":127,"title":135},"326255041704890368","Rayo Vallecano","Rayo Vallecano faces Crystal Palace in the Conference League final, seeking their first European trophy after decades of dramatic history.","326255037950988288","Crystal Palace","335028973153030144","326135627642834944","League","330893293816647680","Crystal Palace vs Rayo Vallecano","2026-05-27T09:57:46Z","rayo-vallecano-s-conference-league-final-what-s-at-stake","Marca","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.marca.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Frayo\u002Fopinion\u002F2026\u002F05\u002F27\u002Fvi-rayo.html",[105,108,54,120,58,121,88,122,123,124,125,126],"326257565845426176","326222712143876096","326257537596788736","326257565702819840","326257565535047680","326257780744785920","326222711653142528",[106,109,55,128,66,129,97,130,131,132,133,134],"Mallorca","Portugal","FC Porto","Real Sociedad","Real Madrid","Bordeaux","Spain","Rayo Vallecano's Conference League Final: What's at Stake",{"awayTeamId":137,"awayTeamName":138,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":139,"homeTeamId":54,"homeTeamName":55,"id":140,"leagueId":141,"leagueName":142,"matchId":143,"matchName":144,"publishedAt":145,"slug":146,"sourceName":52,"sourceURL":147,"teamId":54,"teamName":55,"teamIds":148,"teamNames":151,"title":154},"326257612079239168","Dynamo","Roman Rotenberg, first vice-president of the FHR, supports Lokomotiv players in the Gagarin Cup who helped Russia win the Channel One Cup.
