Legendary NHL goalie calls Ovechkin a chicken s***
The war in the Ukraine continues on, after days of fighting it continues to be waged as Ukrainians defend their country. Many members of the media have reached out to prominent NHLers for comment on the situation, but other than Alex Ovechkin thinks have remained mainly quiet. One former NHLer has issued a statement and his words are very pointed and he definitely doesn't hold back.
Hasek, who is heavily involved in the political in his native Czech Republic has called upon the NHL to issue a statement on this tragedy. Hasek has also taken aim at Alexander Ovechkin in his comments.
What!? Not only an alibist, a chicken shit, but also a liar! Every adult in Europe knows well, that Putin is a mad killer and that Russia is waging an offensive war against the free country and its people. The NHL must immediately suspend contracts.
The NHL must immediately suspend contracts for all Russian players! Every athlete represents not only himself and his club, but also his country and its values and actions. That is a fact. If the NHL does not do so, it has indirect co-responsibility for the dead in Ukraine.
I also want to write, that I am very sorry for those Russian athletes, who condemn V. Putin and his Russian aggression in Ukraine. However, at the moment I also consider their exclusion a necessity. - Dominik Hasek

These requests of Hasek seem unrealistic and also seem to completely ignore the risk these players face by speaking out against the Russian Regime, as can be seen by the backlash faced by Artemi Panarin over the past year.
