Olympic ski relay champion Veronika Stepanova responded with a clip from the movie “Brother 2” to the fact that four Russian hockey players were selected in the first round of the 2023 NHL Draft.
On June 28-29, the 61st Rookie Draft was held in Nashville, where 19 Russian hockey players were selected. In the first round of the NHL draft, Dmitry Simashev was selected under the 6th number by the Arizona Coyotes, Matvey Michkov (Philadelphia) under the 7th, Daniil But (Arizona) under the 12th, under the 31st – Mikhail Gulyaev (Colorado Avalanche).
“Money is all power, bro!” Money rules the world, and whoever has more of it is stronger! – said in an excerpt from the film “Brother 2”, which posted by Stepanova on her Telegram channel .
Stepanova herself also commented on the choice of Russians in the repechage.
– When I came out of the woodwork and discovered that four young Russian hockey players had been selected in the first round of the NHL Draft. Not “neutral athletes”, but “Russian athletes” – read the league’s website. CIO and FIS, have you heard? — wrote Stepanova
