Dominik Hasek goes too far; Slams Ovechkin and his 4 year old son
Although some found the All Star Weekend boring, the Skills Competition was highlighted by an amazing moment between Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin and his son Sergei.
Despite the fact that the majority of people found the moment wholesome, there was one former NHLer who was not impressed.
Hall of Fame goaltender Dominik Hasek has been very outspoken about his feelings about Russian players in the NHL. Most notably, his disdain for Ovechkin, a known Putin supporter.
After watching the memorable performance, Hasek went to Twitter to share his feelings.
''The [NHL] has sunk to rock bottom! Letting Ovechkin's son perform on the ice at the NHL All-Star is spitting in the face of approximately 500 killed, thousands injured and tens of thousands of kidnapped Ukrainian children. The NHL and Gary Bettman must pay for this heinous act!''
Hasek's support for the Ukraine is very respectable, but this outburst about a 4 year old may be going a little too far.
