Geoff Platt scores incredible juggling KHL playoff goal (VIDEO)

Geoff Platt scored a spectacular goal during Lokomotiv’s 3-2 loss to Lev in the KHL playoffs that has to be seen to be believed.

Platt — a Canadian who played in several North American leagues, including a short stint in the NHL, before going overseas — skated through several opposing defenders while juggling the puck on his stick twice before firing it into the net. 

I don't know what the announcers are saying, but I bet it has something to do with magnificent or amazing.

It's too bad Platt didn't have another acrobatic score or two and his team was eliminated from the playoffs.

Russian meteorite damages KHL arena, threatens postseason play

The meteorite that that streamed across the Russian sky Friday morning and shook the countryside might pose some problems for the KHL postseason.

The hockey league announced Friday morning that the arena for Traktor Chelyabinsk was damaged by the space rock and, as a result all events at the facility have been postponed.

The team was on the road, but was supposed to host a KHL playoff game on Thursday.

The meteor shower — which struck Chelyabinsk and injured nearly 1,000 people — was captured on  amateur videos.  You can hear explosions and glass shattering on this fascinating shot.



The KHL said the sports facility will undergo an inspection by experts to "assess the readiness of the arena to full operational use."

The knockout stages of the Gagarin Cup get underway on Wednesday, and Traktor is due to start the playoffs with home games on Feb. 21 and 22.
