We had Anthony SanFilippo on Crossing Broadcast to talk about the severity of the situation and how this will affect the Flyers and their top goaltending prospect:

Everything coming out of Russia right now should be taken with a gigantic grain of salt. Here is a video of Fedotov being taken somewhere in an ambulance:

Per Russian media, Fedotov fell ill during the detainment at the military enlistment office and had to be taken away with an ambulance. Knowing the Russian regime’s usual treatment of it’s own citizens, I hope Fedotov is alright. https://t.co/j180M6SOY1 pic.twitter.com/UOogVzEkxH

And then you have Alex Ovechkin, who didn’t want to talk about his buddy Putin over-extending his power, decline to talk about this topic:
