In fact I wouldn't bet consensus and majority there have reacted negatively towards it since we are seeing protests happening in Russia because of this. I know a lot of us here like to paint Russians with the same brush, but most are just regular people trying to live their own lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 NHL won't ban any players unless they are stupid enough to openly support Putin and this war. Russian coming over to play that are not already outside of Russia might not be able to come over now though. Russian players should stay in the west this off season if they are smart. Unpredictable times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best not to say anything. He should’ve had that philosophy before the invasion. He Seemed to be one of his biggest fans & was pretty public about it. It’s one thing to not say anything negative about someone but imho it’s another to openly cheerlead them. But it’s easy for me to say seeing as I don’t reside in Russia nor will ever visit there (or have any loved ones/family there).

But it’s easy for me to say seeing as I don’t reside in Russia nor will ever visit there (or have any loved ones/family there). Pretty much what I was going to say. Obviously I don't think Russian hockey players are responsible for the actions of Putin's regime, it's a bit different if you campaigned to get him "re-elected" and were the driving force behind the #putinteam organisation. Ovie's vague "it's hard to see another war. I hope it's soon going to be over and there's going to be peace in the whole world" sounds like something from a beauty pageant and doesn't really mean anything. It wouldn't surprise me if Ovechkin turned to politics once he retires and chances are Putin will still be clinging to power by then so he can't say anything negative. Either that or he actually does support the war but knows he can't say so openly. Oh and as for the OP - no, obviously they won't be banned from the NHL.

Somewhere near the other Vancouver! Then I hopped on a bus North, and casually walked across the border back home, because I’m a Canadian.

Lol I don’t go into Van often, but when I do, sandwiches at Formaggio, coffee and cinnamon bun from Fratelli. Then top speed out of Van, because it is a horrible place to be.

appleboy Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 If anything it could encourage more players to come over. War creates instability and could very easily effect the KHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Quote The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) is saddened and deeply concerned by the recent events in Ukraine. The IIHF and its Council condemn the use of military force and urge the use of diplomatic means to solve conflicts. Our thoughts are with the people in Ukraine and the Ukrainian ice hockey family. As the IIHF has a duty of care to all its Championship participants, the IIHF Council is reviewing and considering the implications of this conflict on our events. A Council meeting has been called for Monday late afternoon on 28 February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
