Incredible news, mates

LINK

U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the possibility of U.S. and Russian hockey players being featured in games against each other during a phone call Tuesday, according to a readout of the conversation published by the Russian government.

According to the release, “Donald Trump supported Vladimir Putin’s idea to organize hockey matches in the USA and Russia between Russian and American players playing in the NHL and KHL.”

Russia and Belarus have been banned from international hockey competitions by the IIHF since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.

The NHL said it had not been consulted on the possibility of Russia-U.S. games.

“We have just become aware of the conversation between President Trump and President Putin,” the league said in a statement to The Athletic. “Obviously, we were not a party to those discussions, and it would be inappropriate for us to comment at this time.”

And you'll have the Russian flag draped over you while you're holding a cardboard cutout of Putin's head.

Seems inefficient to make those flights for sport. NHL will probably ask for subsidies. Hopefully DOGE looks into this.

After Eruzione scored that goal I was so nervous until the final second. I was only 10 but remember it like it was yesterday. What a time to be alive !

a bad NHL team like the Preds would smoke the best KHL team

However, Russia and Belarus 100% need to be let back into IIHF intl hockey and the Olympics

The World Jrs have sucked without Russia and to be truly best on best hockey, you need Russians

The Russian Olympic team would be absolutely filthy and it’s absurd they’re not allowed to compete. Same with the 4 nations tournament.

Yup. Imagine hating a largely Christian nation with some of of the most beautiful and intelligent people in the world simply because liberals tell you to.
