MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin has played in an exhibition hockey game and scored one goal after another on assists from retired NHL players.

Putin's team won 18 to 6, with eight of those goals made by the 62-year-old president, most of them on assists from NHL stars Pavel Bure and Valeri Kamensky.

Three of the remaining goals were scored by Russia's defense minister.

The game was played Saturday in Sochi, the city that hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics, and concluded shortly before Russia played the U.S. in a semifinal of the ice hockey world championships.

During his 15 years as Russia's leader, Putin has frequently displayed his athletic skills, most notably in judo and swimming. He took up hockey only in recent years to promote the sport.

Remember when Kim Jong Il (Russia and Chinas' fetal alcohol syndrome afflicted illegitimate stepchild) claimed to have shot ELEVEN holes in one in one round of golf ? Vladi is getting just as kooky. He's a clown.

[LordTyrannus]

why are you people obsessed with personalities?

putin and obama are irrelevant.

Russia and Yankees are always enemies, since hundreds of years.

Russian tsars and later Soviet leaders was always enemies of western powers and their lackeys like napoleon, hitler, churchill, roosevelt.

iranian karate?

did you ever won some medal in karate?

i never heard of iranian victories in karate.

soviets had many champions in judo and karate and many victories in olympics.

russian spetznaz can kill you with one kick.

Those are the traditional bazaar dwelling iranians , im far from that , my uncle too was a boxing champion when he was young , he used to fix helicopters during the iran-iraq war , i'm twice the size of my uncle so you see putin can't break my neck

Sarcasm

It is unlikely that sarcasm is pertinent here. KGB officer can kill ten trained soldiers with his bare hands. Putin is just not at that age, but I'm sure he can break the man's neck with one hand, in the blink of an eye.
