In this regard, the following features are highlighted.
Continent Cup remains with the West
After the creation of the Continental Hockey League, a tradition has emerged to award the winner of the regular championship. During the first three seasons, the teams that represented the East turned out to be better. But after the leading clubs in the Western Conference have gained power, they consistently become the best in seven rallies.

Continental Cup winner does not win the Gagarin Cup
It is noteworthy that in eleven seasons it was possible to break this pattern only once. In the 2018/2019 Gagarin Cup, CSKA won both trophies, and in other cases, these prizes ended up in the hands of different clubs.
Gagarin Cup moves from one conference to another
Over the past seven Cup competitions, the trophy has consistently changed its registration at the conference. In an even year, representatives of the East invariably win, the West turns out to be stronger in odd ones.
Final meetings are obtained without a fight
Recently, the calendar has forced teams to play out the season at a wild pace. Collectives hold meetings at intervals of one day. This leads to the fact that one team calmly reaches the final and retains a lot of strength, and the opponent is squeezed like a lemon. Under these conditions, the finals are often completed within 4-5 bouts.
In the East, dual power – it is very difficult to break it
The Eastern Conference rarely presents major surprises, as teams have vastly different capabilities. Over the past seasons, traditionally the same teams have become the finalists from the East. Magnitogorsk Metallurg has already had three finals, Ak Bars has four of them. The rest of the teams rarely fit into this struggle.
Private patterns
There are also patterns that affect certain fights, or individual teams. Attention should be paid to the following features.
Conference leaders are kings of extra time
In the two-point system, the best is usually the one who not only performs well in the regular time of the meeting, but also knows how to push the opponent in overtime. And it is noteworthy that it is the leaders of the conferences who play very well in extra time. For example, in the 2018/2019 Kontinental Hockey League season, CSKA and Avtomobilist played 19 overtimes and bullet runs for two, but lost only one.
Avangard – Vityaz – many penalty minutes
This pattern originated a long time ago, but even despite the fact that the line-ups of the collectives have changed a long time ago, it miraculously continues to operate. The teams in each fight gain a large number of penalty minutes, usually more than ten, since the games are constantly on the rise. It all started with the famous “Battle of the Ice”
Jokerit plays well at home
The Finnish club traditionally performs well in the Continental Hockey League and constantly makes the playoffs, primarily for the reason that they play well at home. The team tries to give all its best in its native walls, in this indicator it is second only to the recognized favorites of the competition. “Jesters” rarely lose on their own site.
CSKA and SKA are the owners of the most reliable defense
For a long time, it is these teams that have been distinguished by the reliability of the defensive lines. First, because they are less willing to resort to the transfer of their defenders. Secondly, their rosters feature the best goalkeepers, who traditionally show the best percentage of reflected shots. All this together leads to the fact that teams concede less than two goals per game.
Far Easterners perform poorly at a party
If any opponent travels to the Far East for one match, then the teams based there have to endure long flights. All this negatively affects the state of the teams, they do poorly in the away series. Because of this, they are almost always inferior on someone else's site.
conclusions
Above, the basic laws have been described, which are the same for almost every Kontinental Hockey League rally, especially after the transition to the “two-point” system. Of course, there are exceptions to each rule, but it is they who act as the main confirmation. We wish you good luck with your bets.
