Russian Orthodox. The Church Zelensky is banning, with financial help from Biden.
National Homo League? Hope not.
This garbage will deter future Russian stars from signing with NHL clubs.
The story is also posted on Reddit.
They locked the comments because they were vastly in support of the athlete.
Good for Provorost but the FLYERS SUCK!!!
