Systemfel 33 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 i wonder what number he'll wear hahaHe usually wears 81 when playing for Team Slovakia (Satan wears 18, don't know why), so my guess would be that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinRedWing 172 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Me thinks part of Holland being able to delay flip's signing was saying to him, hey let us play this out and you could be playing next to Hossa, just give me your word I won't have to deal with offer sheets! I like the way you're thinking,Sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torless 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 Now that he's officially a Wing, I say he needs an appropriate Wing nickname ala Chuck Norris or Mini-Me. Being that his name is Marian, my vote is for "The Duke" - given that the late John Wayne's real name was Marion Morrison. I'm just sayin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rivalred 630 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) I just woke up and seen this.... Wow... Pretty good signing by Detroit... I love floor Mats, but this is the next best thing... Edited July 2, 2008 by Rivalred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted July 2, 2008 WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! That just made my day! HOLY CRAP! I can't believe this is happening. The rumours of him wanting to come to Detroit were actually true. Man oh man- he fits our style perfectly- strong defensive game with scoring. I'm salivating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
