My problem with him is that NHL just blocks the whole Russia-Ukraine war discussion and when somebody asks him about it (or other NHL suits) he just tries to dodge it or talks about difficult political situation and doesn’t have balls to use word: WAR. Ovechkin who still has Putin’s pic in his IG thumbnail is a god to them. Politics and sports go together these days and Putin’s has used athletes in his propaganda for decades. (4 Nations also had a strong political vibe.). NHL just doesn’t want to hear about it and their (or Caps fans) only defense is that politics shouldn’t be mixed with sports.

US Development ProgramI wish Finland hockey program would make a visit to see how the americans are teaching skills to these US players. Our hockey talent pool is declining and focus all the way from youth is teaching them tactics. Fuck that. Teach the kids first to skate well and teach them skills. Think about tactics later. Finland’s future NHL players, after this generation is gone, is mostly just 3rd line grinders if our hockey suits don’t start making changes. -
