WingNutt 12 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 yes he wears number 8 because he mom wore that number, his mom was a Olympic gold medalist like you guys were saying in Basketball but his Father was also a pro athelete, a soccer player in Moscow. I heard most of it, and liked how they asked him if he had any dirt on Datsyuk and he said no, hes a good guy I hang out with him in Moscow. and they asked him if he invites any of his teammates over to play basketball and he said Semin has came over and hung out but thats about it. does anyone know why he is in Detroit today though? doesen't make any sense. or did he do the interview from somewhere else?? I can't wait to go to the Wings/Caps game this year going to be sold out most likely but should be a good game. Capitals are going to be alot better this year and a team to look out for in the East, I predict they will make the playoffs this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
