Comments on: Goodbye, Alex Semin http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2012/06/30/goodbye-alex-semin/ A cheerfully demented Washington Capitals site with a healthy fixation on Alex Ovechkin and his Russian bros.

The Caps had enough cap space (pun unintended), and Oates would most likely have been the right coach for Sasha to shine. Oh well, c’est la vie…

I am still in denial. Sasha has been my favorite player for years. Good luck to you, Sasha!!

Sew = stitch. Sow = plant seeds.

With the salary they are going to save on not resigning him they can sign 3-4. GM tends not to discuss contract matters publicly anyways, if he is going to resign a player or not.

One of my favorite things is watching Sasha during warm -ups before a game. He takes some shots and then takes a knee in the middle of everything to stretch. It looks like slo-mo in an ’80′s Russian mafia flick!

Peter, your song was inspired & best part. I’m not nearly that talented in any way, so have to settle on popular music.

This is how I feel about Sasha: #$%*n’ Perfect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdW5rei_5gI
But, I was hoping to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34nrWcUglVg What could be more perfect than Bon Jovi performing “Hallelujah?”
Instead I am left with these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BagR5i3kHo&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL5D9264CFCD4F4FCB

Caps will never be the same to me.
