SAN JOSE — As a parade of NHL superstars expressed their displeasure with the league’s decision Monday to not participate in the 2018 Olympics in South Korea, Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic sent out a tweet that he insists is a good summary of his opinion on the matter.
Vlasic’s tweet shows the five Olympic rings reorganized in the form of an asterisk, suggesting that next year’s tournament in Pyeongchang will be meaningless without the inclusion of the world’s top players.
“It’s a pretty good tweet, I thought. I was nice, could have been a lot meaner,” said Vlasic, who played for Team Canada at the 2014 Sochi Games and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
