Krazy in the KHL

New levels of insane in the KHL where a enraged, drunken fan grabs a stick off the bench of the visiting team and hits back-up goalie Vitaly Kolesnik in the head during a playoff game between Avtomobilist Ekaterinburg (home team) and Salavat Yulaev Ufa (visitors).

All I can say is that it’s a damn good thing for the fan that there wasn’t a player named Mikhail Milburov on the Salavat Yulaev Ufa bench or being hauled off to the gulag would have been the least of his worries.

Kolesnik suffered a concussion as a result of the incident.

Colin Campbell, reached for comment at a local Paint Huffers Anonymous meeting, called the play a “legal hit”.
