I doubt he would have intentionally come late to practice. He must be very disapointed. Something else must be going on that we are not aware of. He has shown quite a bit of maturity this season, minus a few goofy incidences at the end of the season (i.e. the puck throwing incident). Maybe the US team can use him.

They have few NHLers agreeing to play as it is. I think it might have to do just with the ambivalence towards Semin in Russia. he has been booted off a National team before, if I recall correctly because of issues with a coach and get put back on by his teammates asking him to be allowed back. There is a history. I doubt it is to open up space for players (though the RSL playoffs just ended a bit ago). They have few NHLers agreeing to play as it is.

It also sounds like there might have been a miscommunication, and given the poor weather on Sunday and Monday, Semin may have gotten a flight that would have landed him on time after talking with his coach, but it got cancelled. I'm not sure how international flights were effected. But the comments section in Tarik's blog is hilarious.

Any doubt why their stars flee the country the first chance they get, legally or illegally.

No reported incidents of Semin this season with the capitals so this doesn't impact anything except for fueling Semin bashers and the doom and gloomers.
