Apparently Russia's hockey league is just like its attempt at a free market: a great deal more violent and unregulated than its American counterpart.
This video needs some serious editing, by the way. Before the explosive beat-down two minutes in, there's just a lot of standing around — someone has a bloody face, and people are technically participating, but you can tell they're not really into it. Kind of like sex with your girlfriend.

A lot of hammering going on here…not sure about sickling though.
I swear to God, I will sucker-punch the first person who makes a Yakov Smirnoff joke.
It all started when someone said the Ukraine was weak.
That wasn't a hockey game. You could clearly hear the "ANGUS! ANGUS!" chants at the end. It was an AC/DC concert.
My girlfriend's just not that into you Uff.
I must break you
From Russia, with Fists.

@hardawayhatesyou: Your not Italian thats why.
Them commie bastards are bad ass. They know how to put on a brawl.
@ doogie: I am Italian, and I don't understand your joke. I still love you though.
Awesome !
I like the ref trying to wave off everyone from the bench as they come flying in. "There is nothing to see here. Please disperse."
They never should have outlawed bench-clearing brawls. They make me laugh more than food fights.
3:25 mark
damn, both those goalies look like women.
but the end is worth it when he comes flying across the rink and pops that guy going about 20mph
