Athletistic / Hockey. Vancouver Canucks forward Ilya Mikheev spoke about a joint conversation in the messenger that the Russians had after the events in Ukraine began. Earlier, Calgary Flames defenseman Nikita Zadorov said that Russian hockey players discussed the events and were considering preparing a joint statement.

“We didn’t know what to expect. And no one knew how everyone would react here.

The Washington Capitals won their fifth consecutive NHL title by defeating the Buffalo Sabres.

The clubs and the league helped us, isolated us from all this, did not impose sanctions, there were no bans. They told us: “We understand everything, keep playing.” »

Was Zadorov talking about NHL players in chat? Yes, everyone was there. As Nikita said, that’s how it was. No one understood what the right thing to do was, everyone had their own opinion – some for, some against. We never agreed on a joint statement,” Mikheev is quoted in Sport-Express.
