Alexander Semin apparently appeared on tickets to Wednesday's Montreal Canadiens-Boston Bruins game at the Bell Centre.
The problem: The Canadiens waived Semin two days earlier.
Semin cleared waivers Tuesday, and multiple reports Wednesday indicated his career in Montreal -- if not the NHL -- is all but over.
The events of this week represent a swift fall from grace for the Russian winger, who was a 40-point scorer for the Carolina Hurricanes just two seasons ago. He was a massive disappointment this season for the Canadiens, managing just four points (one goal, three assists) in 15 games after signing a one-year, $1.1 million contract this past summer.
Semin's best years to date came with the Washington Capitals. The 31-year-old topped 50-point plateau five times in six seasons with the Capitals and scored a career 84 points in 2009-10.
