Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov is up in New York City tonight with his girlfriend Varya for a special occasion. Varya is flying home to Russia tomorrow. To properly see her off, Orlov called up former Capital Alex Semin and had a double date at Cipriani’s on Broadway.

Excuse me for a second here.

Okay, much better. Thank you.

In fact, Semin recently married his long-time girlfriend Alena, whom he first met in Krasnoyarsk several years ago.

Orlov states in his photo that “we are starting to prepare for the new season.” Does that mean Orly’s planning on training together with Semin? I do not know, but that’d be pretty frigging cool. That Semin guy is pretty good at the hockey.

At least it does hint at the fact that Orlov’s arm is finally getting healthy.

Now Peaches & Herb, sing us out.
