Fight Video: Another line brawl for KHL goons Vityaz Chekhov

Vityaz Chekhov is our favorite KHL team because it's a gong-show goon squad that's three Hanson Brothers away from being "Slap Shot: Mission to Moscow." It used to be the home of Chris Simon; now it has players like Kip Brennan, Jon "Nasty" Mirasty and the star our next clip, Jeremy Yablonski. In a game between Dinamo Riga and Vityaz Chekhov on Sunday, the mohawk'd Yablonski was at the center of a line brawl that included teammate Nick Tarnasky tangling with Jamie Lundmark (!) and Yablonski earning a game misconduct for punching up Sandis Ozolinsh (!!). The penalty summary is here. Riga took their lumps but won the game, 7-1. No, it doesn't hold a candle to the classic line brawl between Vityaz and Omsk that featured Jagr wrestling, but it's another example of their particular brand of whimsy. A few thoughts: • Yablonski wanted to beat up the goalie, but a brave linesman got in the way. If the goalies start fighting every night, the KHL needs a U.S. TV contract, stat. • Lundmark finished his wrestling match
