Russian President Vladimir Putin helped hand out a thrashing as he starred in a one-sided All-Star Ice Hockey exhibition match in Sochi.

Putin scored six and set up five of his team’s goal in a 21-4 win, according to Russia’s state broadcaster.
His star performance on ice came a day after he made a controversial first visit to Crimea since its annexation from Ukraine for a Victory Day celebration – marking the Soviet victory in World War Two.
Putin played down his team’s celebrations on ice, though, saying there are “no winners or losers here” despite the whopping result suggesting otherwise and his own apparent delight at showing off an enormous trophy for the win.
