Ovechkin praised the NHL for not imposing sanctions on Russian hockey players

Athletistic / Hockey. Washington Capitals Russian captain Alexander Ovechkin has spoken out about the NHL’s decision not to impose sanctions against the Russians, despite numerous appeals. The league has not responded to the refusal of some Russian players to wear jerseys supporting LGBT people.

In particular, Ivan Provorov refused to take part in the action. And then other players followed his example.

“Well, what can I say here? Well done. It would be like this everywhere.”

How much longer will the NHL continue to behave this way? I don’t know. This question is not for me,” Ovechkin quotes Izvestia.
