KHL Playoffs Update

So the KHL finals are set: Lokomotiv vs Ak Bars. It should be an amazing series, I personally like Kazan to take this one. Aleksey Morozov has been force in the RSL and the KHL since leaving North Amarica. I also like Fredrick Norrena in net over Gaiduchenko and Zyagin . Norrena has the capabilities to steal a game. I just think Kazan has the depth over Lokomotiv with so many higher calibre players. Many are former NHL players over Lokomotiv's lower league players. The series begin on April 2nd.
Heres a quick recap on the past week in KHL hockey.
