The Russian Olympic Sanctions Are A Hilarious Shitshow Of Hypocrisy<em></em>

Earlier this week the IOC banned Russia from the 2018 Olympics, but only in symbolism.

The Canadiens had looked like they’d gotten things figured out, winning five straight since the return of Carey Price from injury. (Funny how that works.
