In February 2022, Hasek asked the NHL to expel Russian players from the league due to the situation in Ukraine. Subsequently, the Czech repeatedly criticized the NHL.
A proposal to kick the Russians out of the NHL by paying them everything stipulated in the contract: what Hasek said in another high-profile interview
“I consider my participation in the match and its opening to be a huge mistake. I would like to apologize to the Ukrainians. I also apologize to the fans who supported me, to all those who I disappointed with my actions. It is difficult for me to justify this personal failure. (…) But I can say that this will not happen again,” Hasek wrote on social networks.
