Finnish journalist Wennström condemned the Russians from the NHL for wanting to compete at the Olympic Games
Finnish journalist Antti Wennström criticized the Russians playing in the National Hockey League (NHL) for their desire to compete at the 2026 Olympic Games. His words are quoted by Jatkoaika.
Wennström condemned The Athletic for publishing the Russians’ regrets over possibly missing the Olympics. “[Форвард «Миннесоты Уайлд»] Kirill Kaprizov, whose current contract is worth $45 million, says “it doesn’t seem fair.” Dear Kirill, I have come up with about 45 million reasons for you to remain silent about justice,” the journalist said.
Wennstrom also spoke critically of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin, who previously spoke about his “difficult situation.” In addition, the Finn spoke about the captain of the Washington Capitals, Alexander Ovechkin. According to him, the hockey player had to clearly express his position on the political situation in the world.
The NHL did not impose any restrictions on Russian hockey players. On February 2, it became known that league players would take part in the Olympic Games in 2026 in Italy for the first time since 2014.
