Yesterday, after the incidents of refusal to wear masks, smoking and alcohol consumption, airline officials took the four teams of the plane from Calgary to Frankfurt (Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden and Russia). Then it was decided to let the Finns and the Swedes come back, but not the Russians and the Czechs. The teams left the country after the cancellation of the youth championship.
Canadian fans, in comments to a Calgary Herald article on the plane incident, criticized Russian hockey players, but there were also those supporting the Russians.
Mark Scott: “Canada – 1, Russia – 0. Losers-smokers, we win! Russians should be permanently banned from participating in all international sporting events, 99% of them do anyway. “
Gary Stoutenberg: “I don’t know what Aeroflot is licensed for, but it’s nice to see action being taken against such people.”
Alec Bialski: “The inability to distinguish Russians from Czechs is testament to the high level of intelligent police work. Surprised.”
Fox Crow: “What a bunch of losers these Russians are.”
Darius Tyson: “It shows that not all Russians are brainwashed by their Communist leaders. Smoke and drink guys. Covid-19 is a socialist program aimed at bankrupting the backbone of capitalism … small businesses. Defend your freedom or suffer from Communist tyranny. “
Bob Hatfield: “People are fed up with unnecessary masks. Like most normal people. “
Previously, the 2022 World Junior Championship had been canceled due to coronavirus in three teams: the United States, the Czech Republic and Russia.
