Russia Declares War………. on the NHL
As if we didn’t have enough problems with real terrorism:
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia has declared an all-out war on the National Hockey League (NHL), accusing the North Americans of stealing its best players.
Russian hockey officials were up in arms after several top players, including teenage prodigy Evgeni Malkin, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ number one pick in 2004, walked out on their contracts with Russian clubs to pursue a career in the NHL.
The Malkin case has been front-page news on both sides of the Atlantic since the young Russian secretly left his club Metallurg Magnitogorsk at Helsinki airport earlier this month.
A really stupid quote from a commie:
“This is pure sports terrorism,” Metallurg general director Gennady Velichkin told Reuters following the sudden disappearance of his best player.
