Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Dominik Hasek has criticized the NHL after Russian players were seen waving their country's flag during the Florida Panthers’ Stanley Cup celebration. The players in question were goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and defenseman Dmitry Kulikov.Hasek said the NHL needed to take action against Russian players who haven't voiced their opposition to their country's ongoing war with Ukraine. He also called on everyone to take action to halt what he described as "inhumane" practices that "cost lives.""This is part of the celebration of the Panthers winning the Stanley Cup," Dominik Hasek wrote on X. "The NHL knows very well (I personally emailed an official public letter to Gary Bettman with an explanation) that by its approach NHL is making a huge advertisement for the Russian imperialist war and Russian crimes and therefore is responsible for a huge number of people killed and maimed."As long as the NHL (and the countries of the USA and Canada on its territory) allow Russian citizens who have not officially condemned the Russian imperialist war in Ukraine to perform publicly (in the case of athletes to compete), this advertisement for the terrible crimes of the Russian country will continue and people will die because of the NHL. It is up to all of us to do everything we can to stop the NHL's inhumane actions that cost people lives." This was not the first instance of Hasek expressing his criticism toward Russian players. The Hockey Hall of Famer has also targeted Russian athletes, especially those who have shown support for President Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing war against Ukraine.Jeremy Roenick slammed Dominik Hasek for criticizing Alex OvechkinIn April, Hasek argued that people should not celebrate Alex Ovechkin’s achievement of breaking the NHL goals record, pointing to his Russian nationality and his perceived support for Vladimir Putin.However, former NHL player Jeremy Roenick strongly criticized Hasek’s comments, labeling them unfair and suggesting that Ovechkin has no involvement in global conflicts and serves as an excellent ambassador for the league."That was so unfair and shame on Dominik Hasek," Roenick said. "Alex Ovechkin has nothing to do with anything that's going on in the world. He goes and plays hockey, and he's a great representation of the league."Dominik Hasek is widely regarded as one of the best NHL goaltenders of all time. He won the Stanley Cup twice and was honored with the Vezina as the NHL's best netminder six times in his 16-year career.
