Crosby vs. Semen.......I mean Semin

From the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:

While Sidney Crosby continued to brush aside unflattering comments by Washington's Alexander Semin, Penguins coach Michel Therrien stuck up for his center.

In an interview last week that has been widely discussed, Semin questioned Crosby's stardom and abilities.

Therrien had some questions for the Capitals winger.
"Is he talking about the youngest guy to get 100 points in the history of the National Hockey League?" Therrien said yesterday. "Is he talking about the [second-youngest] guy to win the Hart Trophy and [the youngest] leading scorer? Is he talking about the youngest captain in the history of the National Hockey League, and to bring his team to the Stanley Cup final?

"That's all I have to say."

Now I have something to say on it as well. Lets even compare last year. Crosby with 53 games under his belt had a meager 72 points. Well Semin, I guess that's nothing compared to your 42 points. I mean you did play ten more games than Crosby. Maybe you're the "dead wood" in this equation.

Sorry folks.....that one was brewing for a while. Too bad the Pens don't play the Crapitals for a while.
