The government of the Czech Republic has announced its support for Hall of Fame goalie Dominik Hasek amid a feud with Russia that has resulted in the latter nation's leadership threatening him.
Hasek, 60, has been an outspoken critic of Russia's war in Ukraine. In recent comments through his assistant reported on by Russian state media, former Russian president and prime minister Dmitry Medvedev suggested (via the AP) that Hasek "should be careful while crossing roads and should not drink beer in unverified places."
