Datsyuk is better to speak English than Semin :D

[ReconRaptor]

He knows more English than me and I'm a retard.

[greendayghostgirl]

Mike Vogel makes this unbearably awkward at some points. Other than that, sounded good. I'm glad Sasha is trying. :)

[scottwill19]

He actually knows more english than i thought lol

[bree8917]

He definitely knows more English than he leads on. He probably just doesn't care to speak it.

[GunsNArnolds]

Молодец Саша!

наканец-то заговорил по-английски!

[danglesnipecelly13]

He's been in the NHL for like 5 seasons and he's just now really starting g to get english lol

[lemonsgrasses]

@danglesnipecelly13 Actually this is his seventh season, but that just makes it even worse, lol. He's always got Ovechkin with him, so he never really had a reason to learn.

[savmorda]

Soooooo adorable!

[300Z31]

He's definitely concentrating REALLY hard lol. But I'll give him this...he answers questions better than Ovi. rofl

He looked, and sounded, great over all. Kind funny to see him thinking of the word 'Opinions'. He had to say it in Russian, and translate it. Good interview for Alex...he handled it very well. It's nice to hear him say that he enjoys playing in Washington, and wants to stay with the Caps.

[tbruchey]

Poor guy, can't speak English well at all

[lostinmusic925]

Aw you can tell he was trying really hard to say the right words (: I'm happy we finally have a interview not in Russian!

[jbak93]

He's just thinking: "Oh God im still playing for the caps..." :(

[mahonechic89]

@jbak93 or he's thinking look at me I'm scoring more than ovechkin! GO SEMIN!!!!!!!

[28stupidboy8]

He sounded good, looked somewhat uncomfortable but that was good. A really good first step towards speaking english in interviews. He's a great player and does not deserve to be hated on by so many people. Maybe now that he's showing that he is trying hard, some people will back off a little and appriciate the talent that is Alexander Semin.
