Former National Leaguer Buddy Robinson used a rather dubious technique to strike out. to a rival in the Continental Hockey League (KHL).
On Saturday, Chelyabinsk's Traktor player Salavat Yulaev gave Ufa captain Grigori Panin no time to drop his gloves before delivering a powerful right chin to him.
The American victim collapsed to the ground. Robinson then walked up to a second rival and knocked him down as well.
The 32-year-old veteran is playing his first season in the KHL. In 53 regular season games, he scored 15 points, including 10 goals. Robinson has a brief 62-game experience on the Bettman circuit, wearing the colors of the Ottawa Senators, Calgary Flames, Anaheim Ducks and Chicago Blackhawks.
