Jaromir Jagr’s KHL coach wanted to fight him after playoff game - Puck Daddy - NHLBlog - Yahoo! Sports


Never a dull moment in the KHL, it seems.

During the seventh playoff game between Jaromir Jagr's Avangard Omsk and Sergei Fedorov's(notes) Metallurg Magnitogorsk, which Metallurg won to advance to the next round to play Alexander Radulov's(notes) Salavat Yulaev, the news surfaced that Avangard fired their coach before the second period of that Game 7.

Avangard claimed that this was not the case and that Raimo Summanen, the coach, was having "health issues" before the game. The team said he was not fired at all, but sent to Finland for medical check ups

lmao

"He made Jaromir Jagr the scapegoat of the playoffs. Summanen even went after Jagr with his fists after [a Game 6 victory] in Magnitogorsk. He was jumping around [Jagr], challenged him to a fight. Jagr, of course, didn't want to fight."

double lmao

Yeah...that was an odd story. Seemed like he was just one hot-headed Finn.

Does it say why his coach wanted to fight him? There'd have to be a pretty good reason.

The players just said that he tried to place the blame on Jagr for the playoff loss, and I guess the players just didn't like him in general. I dunno the exact reasons, other than that he liked to blame shortcomings on others.

No shit... fired in the middle of a game? Fucking hilarious. You'll never see that here... well, Lou Lams might give it a shot someday...
