Speed and flexibility count.

He has been the same size since he joined the league. Not like the other guys who have gained 20-30 punds of muscle.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he was never really in all that great of shape.  He was always a bit overweight, not exactly the physique of someone using steroids.

.\nYou mean the fat guy with beard who comes out all the time? His name is ★Cantona★  and he is from France. He used to play in Man.Utd and he was one of the best players in the team!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...............

I know with the holes in his hands he'd make a terrible goalie.\n\n_

I sort of agree.  Especially during the Olympics.  The USA is so much bigger than (moire populated and better ) than all other countries, why don't they compete under specific states?

Only one of their athletes qualified, and the country decided to not send a one man team.\n\n"Mexico will not be sending any athletes to the 2006 Winter Olympics. The Bobsleigh team and the Skeleton team both failed to qualify for the games. Alpine skiier Hubertus von Hohenloh had gained enough World Cup points to qualify for the Olympics, but the Mexico National Olympic Committee decided not to send a one man team to the Games.[1]"

He may be overweight but he's still the best striker in the world. He's complete world class scored most goals ever in the world cup. Barely moved in the world cup yet got the ball and was magic so he shouldn't retire.

I THINK EITHER ONE IS DUMB FOR HIM TO DO.  CHARA IS 6'9'' W/O SKATES ON.  BOTH ARE VERY PAINFUL TO DO.  HE JUST SHOULD HAVE NOT FOUGHT CHARA BECUZ CHARA IS MUCH BIGGER AND HE COULD EASILY TAKE HIM DOWN.  THE FIGHT WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE.

BWAHAHAHA - Jay you are a tard that has obviously NOT ever played hockey!!! Fluke goals??? Its called...skill...something that may lack in your favorite sport.\nAnd yes...to answer your Question, hockey in the states has major competitors such as the NFL, MLB and NBA. \nIf you were to go to Canada, you would find that every game of every team is sold out. \nIf you ask any NHL player (Canadian or not) they will tell you that Canada is the best and worst place to play. \nBest b/c because it is the best supported by tenacious fans there, but the worst b/c they are so captivated by it that they scrutinize every mistake a player makes.\nThe only two reason that there are so many teams in the NHL that are based in the USA is b/c they try to market it to a stronger dollar and a more populous audience.\n\nCan I get an amen?

He's a guy who should be the first-line left winger on that team for the next decade, assuming they keep him under contract.  He's quick, he's got great hands, and he understands how plays develop.  I guess his lack of size (about 175 pounds) could be considered a weakness, but I don't think it's as big a deal now that the league actually enforces the rules to allow skilled players like Semin room to skate and make plays.\n\nHe's got 40-50 goal potential if he plays with the right linemates, although I'm not too sure about his abilities in the defensive end.  Either way, he should pan out about as well as you'd expect from a mid-first round choice.

He did not get selected by the American team. The forwards selected over him were: Josh Wolff, Brian McBride, Brian Ching, and Eddie Johnson.

Shutting down the other team is as valuable or even more than scoring. There are a lot of guys who can score goals but the coach won't play them. They figure the guy is a liability because he won't back-check or that he doesn't deserve the ice-time when other guys are working hard but he is a floater ( like Gretzky). If he wasn't surrounded by other star players he would have been a horrible liability.
