KHL UPDATE: DATSYUK IS AMAZING, KOVALCHUK IS TOO, GRABO GETS GOING, AND YAKUPOV’S SQUAD STRUGGLES

Remember when hockey was on the ice and actually played? I found some!
KHL action featuring a goal from Pavel Datsyuk that makes me rethink my entire existence, Ilya Kovalchuk is also nuts, Grabovski continues to put up numbers, and Yakupov’s team falls.
Pavel Datsyuk…just…really? Come on, man. Really?
It’s a couple days old but Kovalchuk is still nuts. Also watch for a screaming Russian man.
Nail Yakupov’s Neftekhimik falls to Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Brent Sopel scores instead of tweeting.
And everything wrapped up in one 🙂
