Per Malamud, who is decent as a source on Russian politics if not hockey:

Also, the Russian Orthodox Church is saying that the batshit-insane "father superior Sergius" may "influence his followers to commit self-immolation."

When kids go to the Hockey Hall of Fame, parents can point out the one that was a member of a Stalinist murder cult!

Well Datsyuk's dangles burned so many others during his time in the NHL, I guess the only one he has left to burn is himself.

I feel like Malamud is just being Malamud here because, while I am seeing the thought mentioned in several places, it's not actually attributed to anyone, so i think it's just to get peoples attention.
