I hate that I have to do this because I dont want to take atrention away from Ukraine but PSA time. As a reminder for hockey today and the days coming foward with the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine:
Do NOT expect your favorite Russian players to condemn the actions of their country. Do not expect anything more than a curated PR statement that distances themselves from the situation. If a player does speak out against Russia applaud their bravery but do not condemn other Russian players for being scared to take a risk. If you demand that they speak up its because you are looking at this through a lens where you have always been able to freely speak your mind without fear of government retribution, at least to the level Russia would take it. Please remember the Artemi Panarin situation. He himself said Russia does not allow freedom of expression. While hockey players have influence many of them don't and def not the influence to stop Putin from being a world class asshole.
One other special note: Alex Ovechkin. It's easy to criticize this man. He has done many pro-Putin stunts including the creation of a website for Putin (one thay honestly garners little traffic nowadays). It's easy to say "oh my *insert fav Russian hockey player* hasn't done anything like that," and cling to the possibility your player is anti-Putin. Here's the difference: They are not Alex Ovechkin, the face of Russian hockey and beloved by all Russians. Ovi could be anti-Putin and it wouldn't matter because the moment he became one of the most famous Russian hockey players of all time he belonged to Putin. His agency was erased. Now would I be surprised if Ovi was a Putin fan? Heck no. Just like I wouldn't be surprised if my fav player, Evgeni Malkin, is as well. But the truth of the matter is I will likely never find out. Ovi and Geno are likely never going to take the risk of putting their family in jeopardy to speak out.
Honestly, I expect most Russian players, and the average Russian, don't want this war whether they love Putin or not. You'd have to be insane to want to risk your countrymen to risk their lives to take over another country. *Yes, Putin. Actually fucking insane to want this.*
Anyway, this shouldn't be our focus but I'm already watching people on Twitter demand statements and can we just not? Let's focus on Ukraine. Just the fact that Ukraine could be under leadership like this speaks volumes as to why they need to be helped.
