Would you go into a leadership that just shipped 50000 Ukrainians to Siberia just because they can ? I really believe the discontent is growing in Russia, but it will take time. We are talking about 80 years of indoctrination.
Also most of these 'analysts' have an entire team behind them doing the work for them, I seriously doubt most of them even have the time to think about anything they say. Its just spoon fed to them.
Not really have an issue with the timing of the hit, we all know zadorov will go for the body instead of the puck.
From the first angle it looks even clean, from the second one you see him lift his shoulder to make contact with the head, its dirty.
Pretty easy to find out though, those that don't like him are silent and know to keep their mouth shut. Or give the typical answer I don't know anything about politics.
Those that support him come out with the Z sign.
I would not trade him , Injuries did set him back but when he was healthy he was a solid middle six C. I'm expecting a 60 point season out of him next year.
Don't think so, but otherwise he is gone anyway so , I still think he has a shot at a bottom 6 role.
He got called up at an unlucky time when the team was playing really bad.
