FIFA tried to soft pedal it like the IOC did.. were going to let Russia compete as Players from Russia... Poland called FIFA out for being spineless said they'd refuse to play them.. I think other countries followed suit.. then they reluctantly caved and now Russia is totally banned.
IIHF took their cue from FIFA.
No loss.. why enable their sports teams so they can provide nationalistic fuel to glorify these Fascist regimes.
Interesting to see what the other sports federations do, like the IIAF (track & field), FINA (swimming)
IOC will be the last ones.. if ever.. Russia is the IOC's greatest patron.

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
