Hall of Fame goaltender Dominik Hasek called for the NHL to suspend the contracts of all Russian players Saturday amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Hasek took to Twitter to criticize Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin before expressing his belief that all Russian NHL players should have to sit out for the time being:

The Czech Republic native wrote that the NHL will have "indirect co-responsibility" for those killed in Ukraine if it does not rule Russian players ineligible.

Hasek concluded by saying he was "very sorry" to the Russian athletes who are against the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

CTV's Rick Westhead later confirmed that the Twitter account that tweeted the messages does indeed belong to Hasek.
