Exclamation KHL squad sacrifices a sheep to break slump

Well, this is extreme:


Quote:
Russian outlet Sport-Express reported Tuesday that Kazakhstan-based KHL club Barys Astana brought a sheep to centre ice, killed it, and sprinkled its blood all over the ice and nets. Several players apparently got sick, but it is unclear whether the illnesses were caused by something physical or just the emotional distress and shock from seeing some dude with a machete dice up a live animal right before they were about to hop on the ice for few skating drills.
former Flames Nigel Dawes, Henrik Karlsson and Linden Vey play for Barys Astana.

Having spent some time in Astana, I can tell you ... that the horsemeat was delicious.

Not really a lot of PETA supporters there.

Oh come on! Good Lord people! Who on Earth could have thought this was a good idea? Wait...Kazakhstan? How drunk were they?

They must have been pretty sauced....

There seems to be precedent.

This strange ritual reared its head with former Kazakh soccer club Shakhter Karagandy, who received a stern warning from UEFA after the club slaughtered a sheep at the Astana Arena the day before a Champions League playoff match win over Celtic.

Slaughtering a Duck at Centre Ice is very different than a Sheep.
