From The Hockey News,

The Hockey News.com has learned Washington Capitals star Alexander Semin has been kicked off the Russian national team, prompting Semin’s agent to refer to the fiasco as, “the most bizarre situation I’ve ever experienced in hockey, ever.”
Mark Gandler, who represents Semin, said the Russian team’s decision to remove Semin from the team because he arrived hours after the team’s first practice was unreasonable and far too harsh.
“I don’t understand it…there is no explanation for it,” Gandler said. “Alexander did nothing wrong, but even if he had, the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.”

“This ain’t the cushy NHL kid.” <grin>

This is crazy. It’ll be the team’s loss as Semin really broke out this year as a world-class player.

Possible revenge for breaking his RSL contract to head back to the Caps? Was he being a primma donna about a deadline that he should have understood was firm?

He has had a history of immature behavior (he did just turn 23 a month ago) and seems selfish at times on the ice, but it does seem a harsh measure for being late.
