It’s a weird night at the Verizon Center when Alexander Semin finishes with more ice time than Alex Ovechkin.
True, it was only by 47 seconds, and since Ovechkin finished with 21 shifts and Semin only 19, it looks more coincidental than any kind of message being sent from the bench. Semin finished Friday with the longest average shift length on the team (that’s one way...
