Look, I hold no ill-will toward Ovechkin and I don't begrudge anyone who cheers for his success.

But if he passes Gretzky, Putin benefits. That's why I can't cheer for him to get the record.

Please quote where I ever called him such a thing.
I never read your posts and was never referring to you nor anyone specifically, but the fact that you think I was speaks volumes IMO. I was gonna say something about people wanting to ban him specifically from Canada when there's 48 active Russian players but went with the Instagram profile pic reference instead.

And yes, that is the definition of virtue signalling.

I'm not going to derail the topic any further, and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is a topic about an exceptional hockey player chasing a record, that's it. If people wanna talk about him as a person there's other place to do so. IMO.
