I hear ya.. Listening to the interview he said back right before he signed with us, he joked that he didnt care what the govt thinks. If he were worried about retribution with family, I think he would have made sure anyone close to him wasnt in a position of harm first before he made that interview. He's not exactly naive to what goes on there. Besides, again, this came from a former NHL player, not Putin. I get the connection totally though so it is what it is. As much though as we hate some things in our country, it really makes you appreciate some of the things we dont have to worry about here.
