Today was actually nuts for KHL highlights, especially for upsets. Semin out-duelled Ovechkin, Fedotenko and Ponikarovsky lit up Malkin and Kulemin, Kovalchuk finally cooled off, and Artyukhin lays a hit that sends a player flying like it's a video game.
Enjoy!
Despite Kuelmin and Malkin goals, Fedotenko gets a hat trick and Ponikarovsky gets 4 assists.
Alex Semin picks up his first KHL points as Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and the usually unstoppable Dynamo Moscow lay an egg.
Ilya Kovalchuk gets shut down, but the biggest highlight of this game was the massive hit in the third. Holy crow.
"I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out." These guys are known for line brawls against each other. That didn't happen, but instead we see some good puck.
And the whole shabang!
кулак!
Ponikarovsky and Fedotenko, kickin out the jams. fun game.
We made a mistake. It was Artyukhin with the hit. Either way, solid hit.
*slow clap*
Etymology 1877. From Russian кулак (kulák, “fist; tight-fisted person”), from Turkic.
Usage notes During Soviet state collectivization of farming in the 1920s–30s the label kulak, implying “tight-fisted”, was applied pejoratively to attack land-owning peasants in general.
Now that's a hit! Don't tell Don Cherry that the Russians have figured out how to hit...
