However, the Czech hockey legend Hashek is not at peace with this situation and has commented on the significance of this game in public, looking at what is happening in the world today.
“If the NHL allows at least one Russian hockey player to take part in this game, I will consider it an unforgivable act. This match in Prague should be a big hockey festival and not an advertisement for Russia’s attack on Ukraine. That would be disrespectful to the league itself and to the people of Ukraine. That must not happen, ”Hashek was critical.
Such statements by the former gate husband are not unfounded. There is one Russian player each in San Jose and Nashville. It is possible that in the off-season these players will no longer represent these clubs, but for the time being Aleksandrs Barabanovs are in the Sharks system, and Jakovs Treņins is representing Predators.
“Ukraine does not deserve this disrespect, nor do NHL fans and players,” Hashek continued. “Also Russian hockey players, for whom I wish all the best. Even the best league in the world is no more important than human lives. I believe the NHL will make the right decision. “
