As a non-Canadian, I got *very* worried with that acronym.
Sometimes shit happens on the ice when you play as physical as he did in his younger years. It is what it is. Also, I don’t think the scrutiny would be there by way of dedicating a segment to this if he wasn’t Russian. Had to do the whataboutism card, but 87 in Pitt has had his fair share of dirty plays.
Its quite funny looking back at everyone bringing up the concern of injury from such physical play. Now in the future he is known for his ability to stay healthy and longevity.
