3 years super league
This is why I love Biz, he gives the stories about hockey they don't want you to hear.
Finnish player Petri Kontiola told a story about KHL when after the season Last practice, the owner of the team came into the rink and gave Cash money to all players. Top players got top dollars and so on. He said he gave him 500.000euros In 500euro bills. You cant bring this to Finland without problems so he hide the money Inside hockey sticks. Like said In this clip it is all mafia In Russia.
This is Russia. It is something else. My friend played there for two years and I have heard the same stories. Even day before home game, the players stay in a hotel with security so they don't get drunk. All the vitamins and stuff, true stories. But there are few teams who play in KHL who are not in Russia, mainly the only western team Jokerit in Finland. It is a whole new world. Everything is legal and well operated like expected. Like all leagues is Western Europe are. Finnish Liiga, SHL in Sweden, Swiss League, German league... All operating as expected.
That's funny AF
Wow hockey players seem nice
Damn I really wish Biz told them the whole Josh Hennessy story, they would have lost their minds.
why is there a 6 minute vietnamese ad on this
Stapleton also came to the rink late and practice had started and when he walked in the room the equipment guy was gassing himself with the oxygen mask on.
The KHL began to clean itself up after Lockomotive's dilapidated plane crashed on takeoff and killed everyone on board, including a bunch of former NHL players, several of whom were former stars and Stanley Cup winners;
That Wheelin’ Feelin’
Buddy of mines team mate had to sew 80k in cash in his hockey pants to hide from the Russian mob
Tim Stapleton may be one of the funniest story tellers out there
I played golf with Josh McGratton. At the time he was home from playing in Russia. If you look up tough in the dictionary, there would be a picture of him. What a great guy. He didn't tell any stories but you knew he was for real. I hope he is well. Even on the golf course I was ready to turtle. Lol.
Wheeling nails I grew up 10 minutes from Wheeling an grew up watching nailers! Your awesome man!
Just love Biz!!
Great clip
That team's name is "Vityaz" (Витязь) and back in the days, it was based in Checkhov, Moscow Region. I remember the time when Jeremy, Mirasty, Gratton were playing for Vityaz and that game with Avangard when almost the whole team got 5+20. P.S. I used to live in that town :-) Good times, the owner's name was Николай Павлинов (Nikolai Pavlinov), he's serving a time now for some kind of big-time money laundry scheme
Wheeling nailers 🤣
THE BOY!!!
