DanielNegreanu 141 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Apparently, the players on the Capitals genuinely believe that Semin is more talented than Ovechkin. That's not to say he is a better player, but they believe he has more talent. Kind of like a Kovalev, who many players believe is amongst the most skilled players in the league. I did Off the Record with Eminger yesterday. I'm also going to try and trade for him... Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Man, I love Kovalev. If Semin is anything like him then you have a beauty...I'm still impressed every time I remember my first trip to Pittsburgh, when Kovy was the first guy out after the practice, and he stood in the rain for over an hour signing autographs for us. Class act.Anyways, I know nothing about Semin....I hear that Ovechkin is decent though... Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 I call BS I'm dead serious dude, no joke. I was on OTR with Eminger yesterday and it came straight from his mouth. They say his shot is sick and has great moves. He likes to hold on to the puck also, though, so he won't play on a line with Ovechkin, instead, they'll dominate together on the power play. Cheap Thieves are forming a SICK base for the next five years... Link to post Share on other sites
nutzbuster 7 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Daniel, I can't believe with your endless vaults of vast wealth and unstopable charisma that you haven't gotten a group of investors together yet to buy a Hockey team! Can you imagine the Cheap Thieves....for REAL? B) Link to post Share on other sites

Still sounds like a stretch. Thanks for the heads-up anyway, it may prove to be valuable info for next years fantasy pools B) Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar The Sperm 1 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 He might be more talented or skilled but Ovechkin has such a complete game that he'll always be the better player. Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently Ovechkin just got really lucky this year because half of the Russian Elite League is better than he is. Link to post Share on other sites

But seriously man the Laurie's bought the Blues in 99(?) and sold it this year and they lost almost $300 million yeooooooouch. They lost almost $50 million the season BEFORE the lockout when they still made the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites

I can definitely see a lacrosse team being called the Cheap Thieves. Link to post Share on other sites
