Ok, now this is something I did not expect to see on the WT page

I guess Britain/Canada just doesn’t exist, despite it being Canada’s game and the previous record holder was a Canadian.

It’s apparently pretty big news in Russia. That, and maybe some of the devs enjoy watching hockey
That can make sense, its a Russian player on an American team playing a Canadian sport lmao
Well, Canada is not a tech tree and Britain doesn’t have much to do with ice hockey, the NHL or Alexander Ovechkin and Wayne Gretzky
great to see that some random russian ice hockey player gets an event with multiple decals and profile picture while most ingame nation get only a decal and some overpriced fomo vehicles for a limited time

When did the Canadian player set his record btw? It could’ve just been that game was new or didn’t exist when that happened
Wayne Gretzky is still alive and ice hockey is at least 150 years old
Well yeah I know but Alexander Ovechkin broke the record very recently. Which is why I ask when Wayne Gretzky did it
Wayne Gretzky, also known as “The Great One”, scored 894 goals over his 20 year career, which ended in 1999.
So it’s been an unbeatable record for 26 years.
But yeah, hockey was invented supposedly in 1875.

No wonder it’s such a big deal Ovechkin broke the record then.

Hockey is pretty popular in russia iirc
Exactly, he’s been on the same American team since 2004, so he broke the record after 21 years of playing Hockey.
Which was almost deemed impossible at the time. Even with the new record, Gretzky still holds 55 NHL records, 2,857 total points and 1,963 assists, the latter of which is more than anyone else has in goals and assists combined

Russian player, Russian devs
Idk, but free decals and the celebration of a record that was held for 26 years and done by a Russian, hence Gaijin’s celebration.
As a Canadian, I aint complaining
Just seems weird that a company that tries so hard to detach itself from Russia to celebrate something completely irrelevant to their games.
