The Washington Post reports nothing about the KHL and as a Capitals fan would like to keep up with how FEDEROV & KOSLOV are doing in Russia.

Also in the coming Olympics In Hockey I will of course be rooting for “The UAS” first but if we don”t make it my second choice will be Ovechkin-Semin and Varley and the Russian Team.Boooo Sidney Crosby and Canada.

I really don’t think it’s fair for any fan overseas to not be able to watch their favorite team, just because of where they live. And being judged by liking a certain team. It’s something, as an American, that I have never experienced that kind of treatment or heard anything like that around me. And I sympathize for Fedor very much. If only the reporters that say the KHL is better than the NHL would just stop. Both leagues [and the countries] need to swallow any pride and make some sort of agreement. I am not trying to insult anyone, but come on! If they are looking for more business, they need to be more open-minded. So hockey fans all around can be fans and enjoy a game without all these barriers. I am not saying that I am smart and I have to solution, but it must be so hard to deal with all this as a Caps fan in Russia. And no one should really have to go through not seeing a team they love for any reason.
