The most complete Alexander Semin highlight video I've seen. I figured Sasha could use some love after (1) the Japers' Rink consensus found him to be the least valuable Young Gun, and (2) a FanPost was devoted to Semin trade scenarios. Excuse the terrible music.

the only failings in this vid (besides the music) were the omission of the AS wrap-around goal on nittymaki and maybe last season’s OT slap shot by tim thomas.
Sweetness. Lordy Lordy does that man have some puckhandling skills.

That World Championship shot vs. Italy is still the sickest wrister I think I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s so devious. Yet so simple.
Hmm, never really thought about it. Green is a safe choice, he’s pretty slick, but no one really sticks out to me as just being able to fly on our team.
pothier as another candidate. and of course fedorov if we were talking last year’s team.

who’s the best skater on the team? green?
Absolutely. I just love watching his graceful, powerful stride.

Green, without a doubt. It was very close between him and Fedorov (the god of beautiful skating, imo) last season.
Steckel is a surprisingly pretty skater, although not nearly as explosive as Green.
so in a race, does green win? or AO? a skills competition needs to be incorporated into training camp for the fans.

That’s a hard one. Ovi doesn’t seem to have a high top speed but he can hit those gears really quick. I think Green would be able to beat him in a lap race. Ovi would win going up the ice and skating through 3 people.
Nobody in hockey manages momentum like Ovechkin. Of course, momentum is half mass…

Love that they included international highlights, which many casual fans (myself included) had not seen before.
Also love: the snowjob he gave Marty; the goals off of the faceoffs (Pittsburgh?).
he was an absolute monster in the 2008 WC’s [full highlights]. his hometown even gave him a golden map covered in diamonds on account of it. the hands he showed on his second goal vs. canada (taking the puck cleanly off the bounce and out of the air)…brilliant.
between the performance vs. canada and all the highlight goals he scored vs. the maple leafs in this fanshot’s vid, it’s no wonder PPP is interested in a trade.
