In terms of the IIHF having no say.
They've banned Russia, right, with the war with Ukraine.
Now it's the NHL's turn to say, we can do whatever we want.
We can have anyone who's going to play.
Russia should be in.
I love Sweden.
I love Finland.
I love Czech.
I would rather Russia in than those countries.
That may – but to see – buddy, I'm saying obviously we want them all in.
I want Russia in.
I want to see Kucherov.
I want to see the goaltending trio that they have.
I want to see Panarin.
I want to see Kaprizov.
I want to see Russia back in a best-on-best.
if those countries say they're not playing, if that's true, then Russia ain't playing.
They might not play even without those countries saying it.
Who said that from those countries though?
So we'll see what happens.
