Dominik Hasek thinks Ovi is a chicken s****
Since retiring from the NHL Dominik Hasek has become a prominent member in the political landscape of his native Czech Republic. He has stood up for everything he believes in and hasn't been afraid to speak his mind. Unfortunately for some like the NHL's, Alex Ovechkin, speaking his mind during this time of isn't an option due to the risk his family faces in Russia.
Today Hasek took to his Twitter account to call out both the NHL and Alex Ovechkin for their lack of response to Vladimir Putin's actions.
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 The ideas Hasek is sharing seem far from realistic as the NHL is clearly not going to punish players for the actions of a Russian Dictator.
