If the @NHL wants to go beyond superficial virtue-signalling and get tough on Russia, it should return to Soviet days (as Putin wants) and treat all Russian players as fair game. Most would defect. F**k the KHL.

Indigenous activists promote DNA testing that only they can control when it promises massive paydays, but not when it is likely to show most of them have almost no indigenous ancestry. Those high cheekbones keep on giving.
