Ryan Whitney, host of the "Spittin' Chiclets" podcast, shared strong opinions about Team Russia’s possible absence from the Olympics. In a video posted on the podcast's handle on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Whitney stressed the importance of Russian participation in the tournament.
The video was captioned:
"Team Russia would be an absolute wagooooon. The hockey world NEEDS them in the Olympics."
Whitney mentioned a tweet by publication Gino Hard, listing top Russian players, and said:
"What I was interested about was a tweet from Gino Hard enlisting Team Russia. I will say once again, they better be in the Olympics next year, or even if the U.S. wins, I don't really think it's legit. Russia needs to be part of the Olympics next year. Let's look at this possible roster."
