Monster Hit In The KHL Here To Get You Fired Up For Hockey Season Again

The KHL preseason is already under way and while that dirty Russian league may be in shambles financially, there’s still tons of great hockey going on. So here we have Metallurg Novokuznetsk versus Barys Astana (I’ve been a huge Novokuznetsk fan all my life) and Metallurg’s Alexander Kuvayev had to learn the hard way that if you’re going to come around the back of the net with your head down, you’re gonna have a bad time. My man got popped all the way back to Soviet Russia. All the way back to the Staliln regime. The hit looked pretty damn clean to me, especially by Russian standards.

Only 56 more days until the NHL season starts. That’s only 8 weeks which is less than 2 months. Get hype. Now let’s run that shit back.

On a related note, here’s how you make that same hit except by being a fucking scumbag and leaving your feet intentionally trying to injure a dude in preseason action.

Steve Downie, ladies and gentlemen. Possibly the biggest plug the NHL has ever seen.
