TORRUS said:I'm sure he is aware of the situation so why is he not doing anything. After all, it was he's decision to name Fetisov as head coach in 2002. If he did it once, he can interfere again! I mean, the world is laughing and Russian international hockey has never been so bad! It's time for Putin to say: ''Steblin, f... off!!!''

What's wrong with the US Open?!? There's always a conspiracy with you guys. It's so pathetic.TORRUS said:Hey you! The world cup was made and designed for north american teams. Smaller rinks, home crowd... They wouldn't be americans if they don't have their version of the Olympic games. Digression: The same as US open in tennis. French open, Wimbledon, Australian open, but US open just doesn't fit in! Wilka is right. It's just stupid world cup and Putin doesn't care! Wilka, don't give up! Don't afford that pleasure to canadians! Will be better, for sure!
Hockeyfan02 said:How is Khabibulin "turning his back" or a "loser" by turning this down. Its not the olympics which is more important than this tourney. Hes already played on a couple occasions and has earned medals (one which he did not recieve until 2002). Hell, he was best goalie at the 2002 olympics when Russia didnt play well in front of him. What does he owe his country after hes served them already. Its dissapointing but the Russian Federation hasnt been the best place for some of these guys and its not just him that has been mistreated.
Do you realize how pathetic that sounds? You're so desperate to find something positive I can see that. Poor you.TORRUS said:If nothing, Fedorov is better then Sakic and Ovechkin is better then Crosby!!!![]()
You people are crazy. Calling the President of a country to intervene in what is basically just a GAME?!? Nobody's life is in danger here. Sheesh, could you imagine our Prime Minister Paul Martin appointing heads to Hockey Canada? Man, there are much more important things to worry about than a hockey tournament. Not even the Olympics are important enough for a head of state to intervene. If Putin puts his hands into Russia's Hockey Federation, then it will just show how warped Russia's priorities are.TORRUS said:After world championships I tought that it is so bad that it can't get any worse, but it seems I was wrong. I would like to say now that it can't get worse, but I'm not sure what will happen next week. I think this is right time for Steblin to resign. One more thing, I don't understand why Putin didn't interfere. I now, president shouldn't interfere in sports but we are talking about Russia. I'm sure he is aware of the situation so why is he not doing anything. After all, it was he's decision to name Fetisov as head coach in 2002. If he did it once, he can interfere again!

Why can't the head of a sport federation be removed? What kind of a weird law is that? Anyone who can't do his/her job proprely should lose his/her job.wilka91 said:Noone can't remove the head of a sports federation, that what a Russian law says. Fetisov said it himself, if the law was different, he would have removed Steblin himself.
wilka91 said:they wanna change this crappy law anyway
but a federation is independent from the rest of the Administration
