Of course, it’s easy to score on opponents who are in constant fear of being sent to the gulags … but hey, PUTIN!!!
The 66-year-old crushed his enemies right from the initial puck drop … posting 8 goals in the annual exhibition match alongside ex-NHL stars Slava Fetisov and Pavel Bure.
Hey, last year Putin only scored 5 goals — so, he’s getting better!!!
Putin’s teammate — Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu — scored 3 goals in the 14 to 7 victory.
The opposing team had some notable players, too — including Russian billionaire, Vladamir Potanin and Putin’s longtime pal, Gennady Timchenko.
