The Czech striker of the club of the National Hockey League (NHL) “Boston Bruins” David Pastrnak was criticized for a photo with the Russian captain of the “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin. It is reported by idnes.cz.
Hockey players took a joint photo during the NHL All-Star Game, which took place on February 3 and 4. Pastrnak posted a photo on Instagram (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation; belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and banned), but received negative comments in response.
“Do you perceive what is happening around you? Do you follow what Ovechkin represents? I understand the sporty side of the photo, but this is not about hockey!” – leads the source of one of the comments. After that, the Czech NHL player deleted the picture with Ovechkin from his profile.
Ovechkin is the second-best scorer in NHL history. On account of his 812 goals. The backlog from Canadian Wayne Gretzky, leading in the list, is 82 goals.
