Well, I gotta say, that is an awfully long time to study and not speak a language. But, its more than just studying. Semin has been immersed in an english speaking culture for his entire career here. I think it would be a god idea to at least learn enough to be able to speak / understand without the aid of a translator. If I were going to immerse myself in a foreign language speaking culture, especially for work, in a rather public capacity, I would learn at least that much. Just saying...
Welcome! I have been an avid Washington Capitals fan since 1977, when I attended my first game at Capital Centre, in Landover, MD, just 5 minutes from where I grew up in Bowie. I held season tickets from 81-92 there, in section 126, L. I then held season tickets from 99, until 07 at Verizon Center, first in 410 H, then in 408 E, then 408 A. This blog gets its name from where my seats have always been..."Behind The Goal Line". Being born and raised here in Washington, D.C. I also am an ardent & lifelong D.C. United, Nationals, and Redskins fan. This blog is not intended to be a "news" source, or anything of that nature, rather, it is just one lifelong fan and supporter's musings, opinions, thoughts, rants, perspectives, and observations on all things Caps, from on the ice, in the stands, to the front office, and around the NHL too. I will attempt to keep this updated as often as I can, so check back often as this is a work in progress. Click here for my profile.

He doesn't speak, but he understands everything.
Now it's only a matter of time - Sasha will speak English by himself.
Yeah, but hes had how many years now to learn it? Ovie has been here 5 years now and speaks damn good English.
I've been studying English for 25 years by now, and I started to speak only 15 years ago))))))))
