My Prediction
Dynamo Moscow by 2Looking at this compelling match-up between Dynamo Moscow and SKA St. Petersburg. My apologies to our wonderful statisticians, but they apparently forgot to record any saves for both SKA's goalies Pleshkov Artemy and Egor Zavragin, that or they were just too busy inventing a goalie cloaking device. Not to be outpaced in this eccentric goalkeeping trend, Dynamo Moscow's Maxim Motorygin joins the "zero save club," while his colleague Vladislav Podyapolsky, gets bonus points for actually stopping a grand total of twenty-six pucks this season.
For SKA St. Petersburg, Arseni Gritsyuk and Marat Khairullin have been their shining stars with impressive stats, not to mention Alexander Nikishin who has been a consistent contributor. Turning to Dynamo Moscow, Nikita Gusev is the player to watch with his 30 goals and 42 assists this season, followed by the likes of Jordan Weal and Max Comtois, helping to keep the scoreboard lively.
Historically, these teams seem to be engaged in a game of leapfrog with each other. It's like watching two sumo wrestlers, one moment SKA St. Petersburg holds the advantage, the next it's Dynamo Moscow.
The regular season records show both teams with more wins than losses, but Dynamo Moscow has a slight upper hand. As we say in the sporting world "the difference is as thin as the toilet paper in the budget motel."
At the risk of upsetting our avid SKA St. Petersburg fans, the recent results lean towards Dynamo Moscow's favor. As someone who grudgingly admits when others are right, it seems like the bookmakers share this perspective.
So, given the weight of the evidence and my uncanny knack to predict the unpredictable, let's lay our bets on Dynamo Moscow. And let's add a little spice and predict a tiny twist in favor of Dynamo Moscow.
