“And we, to be honest, wish him all the best.”

Well done, Fedor! This is a perfect response to Marc Crawford’s perfect insincerity.

Godspeed Sasha! Keep those hat tricks coming, and keep ignoring the nonsensical braying of the Canadian hockey media.

4 words Marc Crawford is apparently in capable of saying:

Maybe.
I.
Was.
Wrong.

Good thoughts, Kelli, but consider Sasha a rental. We want him back after the season’s end.

Tages Anzeiger is Swiss, even if it’s German language.

I’m quite pleased with Semin coming to Carolina. I’ll be purchasing a Semin jersey when I have a chance. Not a bad player to wear I think.

Marc Crawford is an ass.

Semin may be the most misunderstood player in the league and contrary to Pierre M.’s comments, he is not a bad teammate or “coach-killer” (one would think the players wearing the ‘C’ and ‘A’s’ on their sweaters would bear the brunt of that criticism for any team). Semin’s image was dramatically influenced by him playing alongside not only one of the most explosive offensive players, whose own numbers decreased as much as Semin’s did the past two years, but also one of the most physical. Ovechkin is adored as much for his enthusiasm for hitting as it is for goal-scoring. Semin, for the most part, doesn’t hit. I swear if #28 had checked either Malkin or Crosby on their ass just once his perception in this town would have changed enormously. Right now I don’t think Semin is worth $7M/year but to only have to commit to him for one year at that price isn’t a bad idea for CAR. I wish him the best and wouldn’t mind seeing him score the GWG at the Phone Booth next season.

I googled Marc Crawford and read about his horrific part in ending a player’s career. And he says Semin has no character! Crawford is vile and the worst that hockey has to offer. Thank God the Caps had sense not to hire him and that he is no longer in the NHL. Maybe his rant at Semin was because he was angry Caps didn’t hire him? How infantile, if so.
