Sometimes a change of scenery just does not work out at all.  Alexander Semak was quite the talent in Russia but came over to the States and had mixed results in his NHL career to say the least.  At that time, Tampa’s on ice performance in the mid 1990’s was well in a word…poor.  Semak had fallen off greatly after his breakout 1992-93 season with the New Jersey Devils (79 pts in 82 games).  Tampa was actually happy to get rid of him in any way they could.  Some said he was the original Alex Semin.  Now here is today’s moment.
