My Prediction
Dynamo Moscow by 3Ah, the KHL matchup we've all been eagerly waiting for, like a root canal. The Kunlun Red Star takes on Dynamo Moscow; it's the thrilling equivalent of watching paint dry.
The goalkeepers situation in both the teams is rather dull, with nary an impressive stat in sight. Interesting. But Ilya Podsukha and Maxim Motorygin of Dynamo Moscow, and Shimisi Jieruimi alongside Patrik Rybar from Kunlun Red Star, are in the spotlight regardless. Hoping their performance tonight isn't as same as their stats.
On to the skating spectacle: Kunlun's marquee men are Tyler Graovac and Jan Drozg. Graovac's got a taste for the net with 13 goals this season while Drozg balances the puck nicely with his 12 assists. And don't sleep on Luo and Fu either, putting up enough pucks in the net to make a picnic basket.
For Dynamo Moscow, the Gusev-Weal twosome are as effective as a wet firecracker. Gusev dominates the rink, and the score card, with 23 goals and 34 assists. Jordan Weal adds a touch of class too. And there's a strong supporting cast with Comtois and Rashevsky stably navigating the ice.
Now we're cooking, but in the history books, it's been a scrappy spaghetti supper. The past matchups resulted in Dynamo Moscow chewing up Kunlun like a bad piece of steak.
Records-wise, Red Star's 26-29 is an undercooked number against Moscow's medium rare 36-21. The recent games reflect a similar story with Moscow showing some grit, and Red Star showcasing a fluctuating ride. If consistency was a crime, Kunlun would never go to jail.
After all said and done, if we had to put a squirrel in this race, well, signs are pointing towards one team. So, ready your broadsheet and quill. Stamp it:
