In Moscow Spartak's recent match against Amur Khabarovsk, goaltender Alexei Krasikov skated to the top of the circles and was promptly steamrolled by Amur F Alexander Sharov. He was out cold immediately, prompting players to signal for EMTs:

Krasikov ended up walking to the room under his own power, but he was visibly shaken. A concussion seems like a foregone conclusion on this one. After getting his gear off, he didn't bother going to a hospital. Instead, he just sat in the stands and watched the rest of the match.

I don't know if he will undergo proper concussion protocol, but considering he didn't feel a hospital visit was necessary, Krasikov could start in Spartak's next game.

Russia, man.
