Too bad he's leaving , I really thought the Caps where set with Chimera-Hendricks-Beagle as their first line.

no match for the always potent Prospal-Letestu-Dorsett combo

I'm not so sure about that actually. The Bruins and Rangers peppered him a lot of the time and he looked solid, calm and poised for the most part. He looks like the real deal. Then again, Jim Carey much?
- Phenom



hundreds of blocked shots in those series, how many juicy rebounds did B's or Rangers get to? He was giving up rebound too, that was frustrating.
Nice Jim Carey reference, you dont get to see a lot of those.

Semin played the best NHL hockey of his career in the playoffs and is a UFA...

Took him in the pool, and he got 4 points in 14 games -- best hockey of his career?!?!

hed fit in well with the soft forwards in vancouver

He would also be a great fit in Toronto. Could play in the world championships for Russia every year and would never have to deal with the pressure of playoff hockey again.

this is very simple in my opinion

too many Europeans in Washington. Hunter can't coach the way he coaches to those european stars. They'll only buy in for so long. Look at Beagle,Chimera these are North Americans who played some big time minutes when it counted. Just saying.

Apparently the stench of Semin was far too much for him in Washington.

Guess he couldn't get his superstars to commit into putting in a 2 way effort, couldn't get them to use their active sticks, back checking was a must, and they wouldn't commit to his system of hard work and man on man coverage.

He was going home regardless of what happened...He's got other good crap to occupy his time...Hanging out in D.C. with a bunch of gonads isn't one of them...

He has never produced in the playoffs...but he did skate harder in these playoffs (with the exception of game 7 in NY) than I can remember. Not all about points. Against Boston he was a big reason the Caps advanced.
- Eklund


So he skated harder than ever except in the most important game of maybe his career?
