If the NHL, given the situation, wants to allow any Russian player to participate in this match, I consider it an inexcusable act. If If they are allowed, I will do my best to ensure that this match is not held in the Czech Republic. I will appeal to the government, organizers, potential sponsors and the public,» Hasek wrote. «If the match does take place, it must be ignored and condemned as many fans as possible all over the world. Let's understand that with the participation of Russian athletes in events, we are doing a great advertisement for Russia and its actions,» the ex-hockey player added.
