KHL teams start game with huge line brawl (video)

Despite the fact that the KHL regular season hasn't officially started yet, two of its teams broke out into a complete line brawl off the opening faceoff of a preseason game for the second time on Tuesday. Avangard Omsk and HC Sochi lined up for the opening faceoff of a game during the Nikolai Puchkov tournament, and all 10 skaters immediately dropped the gloves and squared off for a brawl that lasted about a minute.

The exact same thing took place earlier this month in a game between Omsk and Sochi at the Sochi Hockey Open. There would end up being several fights in that game, and over 149 PIM handed out in just the first period alone.
