Vanishing in the playoffs? He was very effective in the 3 years he's been to the playoffs, except for last year's fuck up against Montreal.
Oh really? I thought he disappeared in all of them
He's only been in 3 playoffs and did fine in the first two... Then he only had 2 assists in 7 games last year.
I don't know what his numbers are in the playoffs, but I can tell you that he was pretty much a non-factor in the most recent 7 game playoff series vs. the Pens a couple of years ago. Brooks Orpik called him a diver and a pussy in the media and basically bullied him on the ice, Semin disappeared entirely. If it wasn't for the Caps goalie and Ovechkin, they would have lost that series in 5. If they got ANYTHING from Semin they would have won it.
You do not want Semin on your team. Think Pomminville with more talent, and less heart.
