You'll be shocked to know that Russian President Vladimir Putin led his team to victory in an exhibition hockey game in Sochi last night. Putin scored six goals and five assists in a 21-4 rout.

The match wasn't entirely devoid of the Ukrainian crisis context. Before the game there was a moment of silence for pro-Russian separatists killed the day in the town of Mariupol. But then Putin hit the ice.

I’ve always thought that Putin has a Napoleon complex. He’s 5’5, wears lifts on his shoes and does everything he can to make himself look taller. Dude’s shorter than Napoleon.

It’s easy to score when the goalie lays down before he takes a shot.

I guess the goalie got threatened by Putinbefore the game. If his team won, they all be going to Siberia.

Putin scored six goals. Add that to the growing list of North Korean dictator like accomplishments. His press is more fawning than Obama’s, which is bad enough. No wonder the dull witted Putinistas fall for the propaganda. It’s like reading the Epic of Gilgamesh.
