5 Ruminations on Alex Semin. Now with no bothersome stats! (see how easy it is?)

1. If a player prefers his privacy, fans will abide and regard him soley by his performance
2. True artists aren't ultimately motivated by money any more than a $100 million commision ensures a priceless creation (hopefully they have good negotiators tho)
3. People good at their jobs tend to be liked, admired, and/or respected by their co-workers; unless they are distant, then they are "strange"
4. Do you guys really call you teammate that as a name of choice?
5. Players play, and let everybody else worry about everything else
