That animation they play when he scores (pictured at the top of the post) always makes me think of Metalocalypse on Adult Swim…it could’ve been taken straight out of the show intro, seriously

Semin and Parise had very similar statistics last year so they should be close in fantasy rankings. Last year, I would have rated Stamkos ahead of him. Agree that ESPN’s ranking is more on the mark for him than Yahoo.

Fans are ready to dump him since he couldn’t score this playoff series. (I guess you’re only as good as your last playoff series or two.) He had formerly done well in the playoffs (Flyers series in 2008, Rangers series in 2009). Hurt his thumb and didn’t score vs Pittsburgh in 2009 but had several assists. We don’t know what happened in 2010. Lots of shots and nada even though his average shot distance was slightly closer than the norm for him so it wasn’t like he was taking more “long shots” than normal. (But then Laich, one of his line mates, was also in a slump, which didn’t help either.)

probably semin got ranked lower than his talent indicates because outside people are starting to listen to all the stupid caps “experts” who run him down and say he’s worthless because they don’t like him personally.

i just hope sasha himself doesn’t start listening to all the idiots. probably a good thing he doesn’t read much english.

RotoWire ranks Semin 3rd. As I remember, 3rd.
I think, Semin is very good 3rd round bargain for those who play on Yahoo.

How does Yahoo put Eric Staal and Ryan Getzlaf ahead of Semin? Just the sheer number of points he puts up should put him much higher than either of them. And judging from comments on that list, a lot of other people think it’s terrible too.
