Thx, good read.... His passion for hockey sure comes through. Bribing the security guard at his rink with cokes is classic.

Read the entire thing with a Russian accent in my head. Another Grade A article from the tribune!

my favorite line was near the end:
"When I shoot, I can see my puck. When he shoots … Oh, come on. Where’s the puck?"

That sounds like a great Coca-Cola commercial in the making.

Great read, I wonder when Semin lost his passion for hockey. Obviously he had it.

Great article. It's weird getting caught up in contracts, millions of dollars, points, etc. Most of these guys are just people living out their dream trying to be the best hockey player they can. Very cool.

Probably not. In Russia Vodka is dirt cheap, Coke is relatively expensive.

I think it has to do with differences in the games in North America vs Russia/Europe. I read the Igor Larionov article after this one and he mentioned that a lot of Russian players don't like the NHL chip, chase, forecheck to cause turnovers and pressure, game.
