Who does Semin think he is? He has a hot start to one season, and he thinks he can call out one of the premere players in the game? I'm willing to bet that Crosby has a lot more cup rings on his hand(s) and hardware in his garage than Semin does when they both are retired.

"What's so special about (Crosby)? I don't see anything special there," Semin said in an interview with Yahoo.com. "Yes, he does skate well, has a good head, good pass. But there's nothing else. -Alexander Semin-
Okay Alex...The "nothing else" you talk about is the highest degree of athletisim and skill in the entire league. Nothing else rattles me more than pussy russians who run there mouth and think the name on the back of their Jersey is more important than the name on the front. It's not even because I "own" Crosby on my team, I love the way Sid plays the game.

I'm fine with him not being a fan of Crosby, or even disputing the way that Sidney has been marketed, but I think it's a big reach to say he's "nothing else."
Semin can talk when he plays a few months with a broken ankle and produces at roughly the same level.
