I've stood next to Marty a few times. I think his calves are bigger than my thighs.
And here's why his legs look like they do.
I am not sure my car could move that rack of weights in a parking lot.

Like I said, he's not where we'd like him to be, but I saw improvements in his offensive game against both teams. Shot selection, fighting for pucks, knowing when to pass, etc.
And it's 7 million, IIRC.
I do miss the days when the most we could criticize him for was his uncanny ability to hit the post.
His shot power is still there. That slapshot (wrist?) that bounced so hard off the boards it nearly it was nearly butt-goaled by Fleury...that was vintage Semin.
My trip to Raleigh truly made me think differently of Alex. I always thought that he is that party guy (His reputation from his Wash days with Ovie), "me first" type of attitude and so on... WOW, was I wrong! REALLY professional in his approach to the game; does NOT care too much about personal statistics (was P.Off after the Columbus game – even though he was 1+1, but the team lost... Really wants to get into the play offs)... After games all he talks about for at least an hour are the moments from the game... he proved me wrong. I did not think he cared.
I think you guys actually got the awesome version of Semin: he grew up. Stats will come.
Plus, he was really awesome with my kids: that is a definite plus in my book!)))
No surprise given that Semin, Gerbe and Jordan are their best possession players. Whether or not Gerbe is a true "Top 6" guy, he's playing like it this year. He's winning battles, he's going to the net, he's back checking, and he's scoring. Maybe it's him in a contract year, but he's one of the few guys I don't have a problem with.

I think Gerbe is doing what Tlusty did on that line with Eric and Semin last year now. Putting away the loose change from Semin's shot.
. Gerbe is winning battles and crashing the net,
Maybe getting snubbed from the Olympics is a blessing in disguise, giving him more time to rest his injury.I think Gerbe is doing what Tlusty did on that line with Eric and Semin last year now. Putting away the loose change from Semin's shot.
I think last years and this years concussion plus his wrist are reasons his shots are off. If Feeds report on offseason surgery are true, I think we will have ppg or better Semin next season, this season we are getting the other part of his game.
