Hasek: “Let him do what he needs” – August 10, 2022
Czech hockey player Russian producer Dmitry Yashkin in an interview “SE”Told how he addresses criticism in his direction from the two-time winner of the Cup Stan Dominik Hasek.
This summer, a forward contract with the St. Petersburg SKA for a period of one season.
The legendary goalkeeper said that Yashkin’s performance in the Continental Hockey League is a danger to the Czech Republic and its citizens. “The work of a Czech citizen in the Russian Federation is support for the Russian regime, and, therefore, a danger to our country,” Hasek wrote on social networks.
– We see a sharp meeting between media representatives and Dominik Hasek on signed players from the Czech Republic in KHL. Has found any pressure, whether journalists called?
– No, you are the first journalist with subjects that I talk about after signing a contract with SKA and returning to Russia. Each person has his own head and, perhaps, his own opinion. Pressure? Maybe it exists. Speaking about me, I don’t see how it manifests itself. I’m going to the KHL to work – to do what I love and play hockey. Sport has nothing to do with the power of the state of affairs in the world. All the guys who were going to play in the KHL – Shulak, Cherven, Jordan, got a hat and unpleasant messages. But that is the situation now.
“Do you want to say anything to Hasek in response?”
No, let him say what he needs.
– The head of the headquarters of the hockey federation, Alois Gadamchik, said that it does not matter to him where the hockey player plays. The main thing is that he estimates the cost of assembly.
– He did not communicate with me. But I think that there is a personal struggle for power and influence in the headquarters of hockey, because both ran for president of the Federation, and Gadamchik won. Hasek did not drop out, and now he is trying to earn some political points.
