@rickstrom: Alex Ovechkin, a future NHL Hall of Famer and winger with the Washington Capitals, has drawn the ire of hockey fans once more. Recently Ovi was spotted in an ad that featured Sergei Lavrov front and center as he promoted and campaigned for Russian president Vladimir Putin. While many supporters of sport have already said they are disappointed in the Russian star, what we must understand is the goal scorer has made no qualms of his right relationship with the leader of the country. He has said he stays out of politics, but please believe, from the war I’m with neighbor Ukraine to appearing on live television, this man has always supported Putin and the Kremlin.
