First I've read of this, found it an interesting if disturbing read... Seems that the KHL hierarchy, referees and Putin are conspiring to ensure SKA wins the title this season and not really attempting to hide it much.
This undermines the credibility of this league in a major way at a time when teams are already hesitating to draft players coming up through their system.
