Since the Russian army invaded Ukraine back in February, Dominik Hasek a former superstar hall of fame goaltender, has been adamant that the National Hockey League should suspend all Russian hockey players.
Hasek has made quite a few lengthy public statements regarding this matter, he has made statements to the league demanding them to suspend the players, and then statements pleading with the Russian players to just not play.
Last week the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks played two games in the Prague, Czechia for the 'Global Series' games, and despite the country stating they would prefer Russian players not attend, both teams brought a Russian player and both played while in these games.
