NHL player Zadorov explains why he won’t go back to Russia after criticizing Putin

  1. I don’t think an explanation is necessary, though he might want to watch out for ovechkin checking him to the boards with polonium gloves

  2. Takes guts to do what Zadorov is doing. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to not go back to your home country.

  3. Zadorov should know that the world would understand and give him asylum where ever he needs to be.

  4. I think most Russian players either feel like Zadorov but keep their mouths shut, or are at worst are uninformed and neutral.

    It’s hard to know what Ovechkin thinks today. He certainly was and appears to be a Putin bootlick. He may have changed his mind, but can’t really say anything. If he took down the twitter photo of him and Putin, who knows what might happen to his family.

    I would enjoy Zadorov absolutely crushing Ovie with a massive bodycheck and stand over him chirping him.

    Kudos to Z and his massive guts.

  5. Zadarov Should go back and play in the Red Army game that Putin plays in and just run him.

  6. Because his life is in danger. Anyone who criticizes Putin or the war gets sent to the front.
