The Czech native's criticism came after Trump's speech to top U.S. military leaders in Quantico, Virginia, this week, where the president vented his frustration over the conflict dragging into its fourth year.

"I’m so disappointed with President Putin,” Trump said during the address. “I thought he would get this thing over with… He should have had this war done in a week. And I said to him: You don’t look good. You’ve been four years fighting a war that should have taken a week. Are you a ‘paper tiger’? And… it’s a shame.”

The legendary goalie reshared a post from California Governor Gavin Newsom, in which Newsom voiced deep concern, stating his belief that the election could be at risk.

Sharing his own views, Hasek said,

“Yes! I’m certain of it! Trump and his team will go to any lengths, even breaking the law, to hold onto power beyond 2028, including scrapping the election. We can’t let this happen. We must resist him and fight tirelessly every day to stop it."

Dominik Hasek had a 16-year career in the NHL, spanning from 1992 to 2008. The two-time Stanley Cup winner shares the record for the second-most Vezina Trophies with Bill Durnan—six each—trailing only Jacques Plante’s seven as the league's best goaltenders.
