VIDEO: KHL coach Nazarov throws water bottle at opposing player after fight

Andrei Nazarov has made quite a name for himself as a KHL head coach after playing 12 seasons in the NHL.

The Barys bench boss, who has already raised eyebrows for a couple of incidents behind the bench, lost his temper again during a game against Ak Bars Kazan.

Nazarov was ejected for tossing a water bottle at Ak Bars center Alexander Svitov, after the NHL's third overall pick in 2001 disposed of 19-year-old Barys defenseman Damir Ryspayev in a fight.

Nazarov is the same coach who went into a crowd to fight fans with a hockey stick and made an obscene gesture toward officials and opposing players in previous games.

No wonder he racked up 1,409 penalty minutes in his NHL career.
