Chinese KHL team's ceremonial puck drop goes embarrassingly wrong
YouTube
The Kontinental Hockey League added its first Chinese club, Kunlun Red Star, this season as it looks to tap into the Asian market, and it appears there are still some elements of the game that haven't quite caught on yet.
A recent game between Kunlun and Tolyatti Lada featured what might be the worst ceremonial puck drop in hockey history, as the man responsible for dropping the puck seemed eager to get the whole thing over with as quickly as possible.
This lead to a hilarious moment of confusion between Kunlun's Janne Jalasvaara and Tolyatti's Vladimir Malenkikh.
