Cherry thinks the criticism aimed at Ovechkin is unfair
Don Cherry came to Alexander Ovechkin's defence recently, stating that people should"leave him alone" amid criticism over his relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin. The controversial broadcaster wasin 2019 two days after targeting Canadian immigrants with divisive remarks about wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day. Since then, he has refused to apologize for what he said and is regularly stating his opinions on everything that is going on in the hockey world.
Now, it’s turned to Russian superstar Ovechkin and how he is being criticized for not speaking against his country’s invasion of Ukraine."He's a hockey player. He has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. None of this is his fault. He's not involved in it." Cherry believes that it is the same group of people discussing Ovechkin’s legacy, that wanted him to be fired through his years at Hockey Night in Canada“It’s the same crowd that went after me,” he said. “They don’t care about hockey, and it’s not about hockey. Alex is a great player and great person, and he deserves better than to be treated like this.”, with a large portion of the hockey world cheering him on to break the all-time NHL goals record, held by Wayne Gretzky.
“It’s a hard situation. I have lots of friends in Russia and Ukraine. And it’s hard to see the war. I hope soon it’s going to be over and there is going to be peace in the whole world,” Ovechkin . “Please, no more war. It doesn't matter who is in the war — Russia, Ukraine, different countries — I think we live in a world, like, we have to live in peace and a great world.”with Russian president Vladimir Putin and this fact continues the conversation held around whether or not Ovechkin is complicit with the oligarch's unprovoked attack of Ukraine.
