STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

So it was no surprise to see Russia's president suit up for hockey with Russian NHL All-Stars nor was it really a surprise that Putin's team won. It could hardly have been otherwise. The game was like that "Seinfeld" episode where Kramer dominates a kids karate class. Putin's All-Star team played school kids and triumphed 9 to 5. The president of Russia scored twice. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
