In an impressive display of Kim Jong-il-esque athleticism, 62-year-old Russian president Vladimir Putin scored eight entirely on the level goals to lead his team to an impressive 18-6 whomping in a game that included former NHL players (like Valeri Kamensky and Hall of Famer Pavel Bure). It was just another way for Putin to connect to the everyman, building on his past of delusionally riding a horse topless, and shooting an already trapped and tranquilized tiger.

It's the type of show that needs a swift response in-kind, so expect Obama to (hopefully) roundup some NBA has-beens and drop 40, STAT.
