Of course, I am assuming the Russian spelling on Wikipedia is correct. –°–µ–º—ë–? is his first name (apparently). I study Russian in school, and the alphabet is consistent (much easier than English), so I am 99.9% confident in the pronunciation. Russian Lesson: The "–°" is the "s" sound, like in the word "sound." The "–µ" is the "ye" sound, like in "yes." The "–º" is the "m" sound, like in "mat." The "—ë" is the "yo" sound, like in "yogurt." The "–?" is the "n" sound like in "new." Hence, Syemyone. Oh yeah, and in Russian, you roll all "R"s all the time. P.s., yes that is the "ye" sound. Evgeni Malkin is actually "Yev-gye-nee" "Mal-keen." I’m almost certain it is “SYEM-yone” or “syem-YONE” (I don’t know which syllable is stressed).

This isn't a bad thing but it's a long season and I'd rather him get used to playing over here first and learning how to pace himself then throwing him up here in the NHL and getting pooped half way through the season. Everyone makes it sound like a bad thing that he's in Hershey but I think it sounds like he's getting good conditioning. I'd rather not rush him...or let him rush himself...
