This is vintage Pavel Datsyuk. He might not be in the NHL anymore, but Datsyuk’s still got sick moves. Check out this beautiful goal from KHL action. In Datsyukian-fashion, the 38-year-old scored by sticking his stick behind his legs and beating the netminder under his arm. I miss these type of goals from Datsyuk in […]

It takes something pretty unique to make people talk about dabbing at this point, but the KHL delivered a dab so amazing that we can’t help but feature it.

KHL goalie Andrei Gavrilov thought play had stopped after his team appeared to have scored, but the officials kept the play going and it nearly resulted in Gavrilov allowing an embarrassing goal. Watch as Gavrilov stops to take a drink while the opposing team marches in and nearly buries what should have been an easy goal.
