palace, this is exactly what the head of the commentary department says and i completely agree with him, just imagine 2,700 tickets for this match were sold in 3 hours, but in order to provide maximum support to their hockey players, the gomel management decides to sell tickets under the arena vault, yes you. you're watching the game, but you're in this amazing surroundings, that's something incredible. so, the score in the semi-final series is 3:1 in favor of the current metalga champions. however, in gomel they believe that their squad will win today. let me remind you that for the second games of the cis countries, the local ice arena was updated by installing a canadian type of ice rink. as a result , this is where the game would become. faster, and therefore more spectacular, and i personally

confirm this fact, the support from gomel today is incredible, but how could it be otherwise, after all, the final is at hand, the field derby is taking place in a very stubborn fight, these are the queues, we see them now, this is normal in gomel, there is a hockey boom, well for gomel yes, this is a normal situation, and especially the playoffs, and there was recently an announcement that additional tickets are being sold for real seats, so... today everything will be maximally loaded, maximally we will hurt, well, this is a derby, as i understand it, it’s always difficult to play with our foreheads, no matter how hard we try, but our foreheads are always a little higher by a head, as it were, that’s my opinion, well, i think that today we have no choice, today we will count the series 3:2, zlaven is the champion, zlaven is the champion, this is definitely a holiday, and today the game will be simply the best, probably of the entire playoffs, because we, we came to win, gomel has nowhere to retreat, we just

won’t just be a holiday today, probably some kind of festival of this hockey, you can always feel the atmosphere here, it’s always been cool here, it’s always been good here, i’m glad that gomel and i are playing like this, you see, there are good emotions from the fans, so in the last three games between the teams everything was decided by one puck, perhaps today this one history will repeat itself after the first half. the score was 2:1 in the metal ring, one of the leaders of slavinsk, and the legend of belarusian hockey sergei kostitsin opened the account in the fourth minute. kusnetsov, after 9 minutes, doubled the transportation of the guests, but reduced the gap feofanov. this is such an unpleasant start for the gomel residents. the results of the first period were summed up by the hosts' coach evgeniy kovershin. we started off not very rocky, made a little mistake when leaving söhn and got a goal. then we started playing hockey a little. yes they did.

of the competition was taken home by the team of the gomel region, the fire lynxes. the guys were able to win. it was very interesting to play in such a tournament, breathtaking, alarming, game, struggle. i would really like for absolutely all schoolchildren to be involved not only in hockey, but in other sports, that is , only winter ski training and so on. therefore, these competitions give the kids an impetus, they give them that very hope, faith, that they can prove themselves in these competitions, they can show some results, some

knowledge, skills, which they can then accept in the future, when they grow up and even their children. main organizer of the golden puck tournament the presidential sports club performs. and now about the weather. power supply has been restored in almost all affected regions of belarus. as a result of the thunderstorm front, four settlements in the gomel and mogilev regions were damaged. the roofs of agricultural buildings in the bragin and kalinkovichi districts were damaged. roof of a residential building, publication of the ambulance station in osipovichi. a sheet of slate damaged an ambulance. according to information from the ministry of emergency situations, dozens of trees have been knocked down across the country, a billboard fell in kalinkovichi, but there were no casualties. power outages celebrated in minsk, in the loshitsa microdistrict on partizansky avenue. in the gomel region , the gomel, svetlogorsk and mozyr districts suffered the most from the bad weather. at the central market of gomel, the wind blew away the tents. there are several farm roofs and
