Semin fights like a 12 year old girl

Found January 04, 2009 on Gunaxin Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Alexander Semin,  Marc Staal
TEAMS: Washington Capitals,  New York Rangers

On Saturday, Capitals star and often-injured forward Alexander Semin got into it with the Ranger's Marc Staal, but instead of throwing punches, Semin likely delivered the most slaps to an opposing player in any fight in NHL history. After Staal pulled off Semin's jersey and shoulder pads, Staal fell to the ice, at which time Semin wasted no time wailing his open hands at Staal's face, like a 12 year old girl.

OFB Q&A With Rangerland

Via On Frozen Blog  |  January 05, 2009
Rangerland, a New York blog about (you guessed it) the New York Rangers, asked us a few questions -- some serious, some snarky -- about the Washington Capitals, D.C. as a new hockeytown, Ted Leonsis lookalikes, and more. I had fun with the answers and we hope you enjoy it too. Check out the Q&A on their site; here's a teaser: RL: This is a two part question - 1) Is it...

Schadenfreude Sunday: Pens in 9th in the East, Crosby Wanted by Interpol, Various War Crimes Tribunals

Via On Frozen Blog  |  January 04, 2009
Last night at Verizon Center I was implored by my press box colleagues to eyeball the video of Sidney Crosby's ambush of Florida's Brett McLean earlier in the day. Suspecting an incendiary motive among them, I waited until I arrived home from the game. By puck-drop between the Caps and Rags last night, I was already aware that with their most recent humiliation, at the...

Flipping through Sunday's edition of The Washington Post with my morning coffee, I was surprised to find an image of celebrating Toronto Maple Leaf players in what I thought was the Travel section.
