My Prediction
Traktor Chelyabinsk by 2Alright, magnificent beings, we've got ourselves quite a treat here with Traktor Chelyabinsk rolling into Ambassador Lane of Admiral Vladivostok. Let's tread through the details delicately, like a ballerina wearing bowling shoes.
A quick peek at our goalkeepers shows some interesting data. Zach Fucale and Sergey Mylnikov are holding the fort for Traktor Chelyabinsk, while Andrei Mishurov and Ilya Konovalov seemingly have been playing hide and seek with the puck for Admiral Vladivostok. The Goose-egg Society should be proud of these tender tenders, seeing that all have a circled zero in the saves department.
Traktor Chelyabinsk's top players paint a pretty picture on the other hand. Maxim V. Shabanov, pulling a solid double-shift, racked up 20 goals and 40 assists this season. Not to be overshadowed, Alexander Kadeikin and Vitaly Kravtsov have been sniffing the net with 23 and 26 biscuits respectively this season.
Admiral Vladivostok isn't exactly hiding in the shadows though. Daniil Gutik making waves with 24 goals and 32 assists this season. Our friend Libor Sulak also making his mark with 9 goals and Pavel Shen with a modest but appreciated 10.
Now, in reference to their proletarian punch-outs, the Chelyabinsk Traktors and Vladivostok Admirals have wrestled back and forth til the cows came home. It's a teeth-gritting five-pointer in Traktor's favor when it comes to these prior tussles.
And when we talk about their regular seasons, the Traktors proudly strut a 45-20 victory waddle, leaving the Admirals in their wake with a less boast-worthy 28-34 stumble-fumble.
Applying the cherry on top, let's take a gander at the recent results. Both teams have been hammering it out with a delicate dance of victory and defeat, but the brutal 7-2 defeat Vladivostok received from Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk is a stubborn stain that just refuses to wash out.
All in all, the outlook isn't looking too sunny for Vladivostok. My crystal ball, for all its worth, is quietly whispering the name, Traktor Chelyabinsk.
