Semin helps Magnitogorsk win KHL's Gagarin Cup

Alex Semin, hockey champion.

The former handsomely paid NHL sniper, who was banished by the Montreal Canadiens in December, helped Metallurg Magnitogorsk capture a second Gagarin Cup in two seasons with a 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.

Alexander Radulov, who unlike Semin, could potentially be on his way back to North America next season, was on the losing end.
