[quote]You'll be shocked to know that Russian President Vladimir Putin [URL="http://en.itar-tass.com/sports/731102"]led his team[/URL] to victory in an exhibition hockey game in Sochi last night. Putin scored six goals and five assists in a 21-4 rout. The match wasn't entirely devoid of the Ukrainian crisis context. Before the game there was a moment of silence for pro-Russian separatists killed the day in the town of Mariupol. But then Putin hit the ice.[/quote]
I guess it's time to fire up the Putin propaganda machine and tell the world what a cool guy he is
wonder if he plays as dirty as their national team

Putin's propaganda isn't exactly what most people would call subtle.
Is there anything Putin can't do?!

democracy
they were humble enough to leave out the fact that he also wrote 2 operas while he was playing
KGB training.

He won a game of hockey. Its hardly going to affect his relations with other countries.

Well I saw some WESTERN people on facebook say "He's a cool guy, not like the unhealthy european poiliticians and skinny weak obama"
And yet your country lost to Canadians.

I think these stories are aimed more at improving public appeal than improving diplomatic relations.

Case in point.

It's a pretty common rhetoric amongst right-wingers in both Europe and the USA, yeah.
Kinda of a Kim Jong-Un like exhibition...except Kim would've graciously scored 100 goals in record breaking times.
Starting to remind me of North Korea... :v:
Cult of personality.
So much for Canadia being the buffer between Russia and America :v:
tbh he should stick to driving the zamboni.
In other news;

At least he actually does these things. Kim Jung I'll apparently scored a perfect game of golf with all hole-in-ones, yet somehow there is no physical evidence of this
and in other news, the US national team lost to Russia today, 6-1
If I was up against Putin in anything I would probably let him win. Wouldn't want him to annex me when I'm not looking.
[QUOTE=Joazzz;44788926]wonder if he plays as dirty as their national team[/QUOTE]
Probably even dirtier.
Who knows, he might have a Vintorez hidden somewhere to have the game go his way.
They let that dude win.

It's not shame to lost to Canada in Hockey, really.
