Kontinental Hockey League's All-Star Game

I became interested in the Kontinental Hockey League's All-Star Game after seeing a photo from Sports Illustrated of the game being played in Russia's Red Square. Sadly (at first), my search of SI's excellent (and extremely thorough) archives at http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/ did not yield a hit for the picture in question.

A little digging on the worldly wide interweb, though, can yield quite the treasure chest...

From the NBC Universal-owned website http://www.universalsports.com/ comes the following images (which can be found along with several others on this gallery page).



Love them outdoor games.



As if it wasn't cold enough during the day.



Not so great from the image department, but very interesting from the "where are they now?" department... that's Oleg Soprykin facing Ray Emery.
