Ak Bars wins the Gagarin Cup. Final, Game 5, April 22
Ak Bars wrote its name into the history books with its third Gagarin Cup triumph. Fittingly, in this 10<sup>th</sup> anniversary season, the biggest prize went back to the first time to lift the cup, while the Kazan team’s success puts out in front of the competition. No other team has won it all more than twice; head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov claimed his third triumph to move level with Oleg Znarok (Dynamo and SKA) as the most successful KHL coach.

Canadian double act puts Ak Bars on top. Playoffs, Final, Game 2. April 16
It’s an odd stat, but home ice victories for Ak Bars in the Gagarin Cup Final aren’t as common as you might expect for a team with two cup wins already in the record books. In three previous grand final appearances, Kazan had seen just three home wins for Ak Bars. Back-to-back wins, as seen at the start of this series, are unprecedented in the KHL era. With Zinetula Bilyaletdinov’s team historically even more impressive on the road, it might suggest that CSKA faces an even more challenging task than usual if it is to recover from 0-2 in the series.

Johansson steps up, backstops CSKA to victory. Conference Final. April 6
Lars Johansson has not played a big role in CSKA’s playoff campaign so far – prior to this game, the Swede had just 76 minutes of game time in this post season and had never started. Ilya Sorokin’s form had been so impressive that the young Russian was the obvious first choice. Until now.

The clash of the titans in the Western Conference got off to a flying start with a game that delivered all the excitement promised by this showdown. And, to wrap up an absorbing start to this much-anticipated series, we finished with an overtime winner from Andrei Kuzmenko. The CSKA forward completed his hat-trick in the extras, a performance reminiscent of Denis Mosalyov’s triple show for Dynamo at this stage in 2012; the Blue-and-Whites won that game 5-4 in overtime, and went on to lift their first Gagarin Cup. CSKA would be thrilled if history repeated itself and the big prize returned to Moscow draped in red and blue colors this year.
