Watch: KHL coaches throw down during preseason game

Make no mistake: the preseason is serious business in the KHL.

Those upstanding gentlemen above are coaches (and grown men) Yevgeni Popik and Peter Skudra, according to Yahoo Sports' Sean Leahy.

Skudra may ring a bell stateside, especially in Pittsburgh. He played 146 games in the NHL, including 74 as a Penguin.

Note the camera man in the video above. Once it's clear the two coaches are going to go, he moves to his camera and tries to get the action on tape.

Everyone's a pro in Russia.
