Boy, Vladimir Putin sure has come a long way since the Winter Olympics. Seems like just a few months ago, he was trying to put a hockey helmet on backwards. Now, according to the Huffington Post, he's playing exhibition games with former NHL players and putting up six goals and five assists! LET'S GO TO THE TAPE.

Yep, that sure is hockey. Hockey played at one-sixth the speed it’s normally played at. But still, hockey!

Nice try, Putin, but we’ll always have this GIF:
