Alexander Semin

There is a multiple personality disorder to Alexander Semin's game, one which is  appropriately lethal when directed at his opposition, and alternatively another which is insidious and a self-inflicted wound which harms his own club. We witnessed the variations in the past two games. On Long Island Monday, with the outcome against the Islanders uncertain and in overtime, we were mesmerized by the Siberian sniper's other worldly patience with the puck, deftly feeding Alexander Ovechkin in tight for the game winner. The very next night, in a deadlocked game's waning moments, we saw the vexing counterpart to his virtuosity: yet another boneheaded lapse in judgment, again perpetrated in ... Read Full Story

Alexander Semin scored on a slap shot from just inside the red line only 22 seconds into overtime to give the Washington Capitals a 4-3 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday in a matchup of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.

Alex Ovechkin scored his league-leading 45th goal of the season for ... Read Full Story

In that order). Then Alexander Semin scored the Capitals first goal with 5 minutes left. ... Read Full Story

The Washington Capitals are a professional ice hockey team based in Washington, D.C. They are members of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). They play in the Verizon Center in Washington's Chinatown neighborhood. Washington Capitals won the game, 4-3; and as you can see at the end of this clip , that allowed Donald Brashear the chance to taunt the Boston fans behind the Caps' bench.
