Hossa on ice in Slovakia

Just watched Hossa skate at Marian Gaboriks' rink in Trencin Slovakia.
There were a few guys including Gaborik just scrimmaging. It was really cool to watch.
Any way some info on Hossa for ya....
He was wearing all brand new RED wings gear and even had his practice jersey with 81 on it. Looking like a million bucks I must say, get ready for him to have a big year for you guys, I spoke with him for a few minutes before and he cant wait to play in Detroit.

He also was being interviewed by a local radio station and when asked what he does to kill time in the off season, he said vacuum... He said the noise reminds him of playing in front of a packed arena.. lol

Hope this gets you guys a little excited to see him, I know I cant wait..
I will post some pics if anyone wants..

That's great to hear. Can you post the pics? I've been dying to see him in Wings gear and I know I'm not alone.

He'll have a great year in Detroit, he will have great support from the other players. Detroit will dominate the regular season!

He's been a favorite player of mine for a while, and now that he's a Wing, I like him even more. I look forward to seeing where Babcock puts him in the lineup.

I'm down with the pics! He will have a fine season in Detroit, alot of people insist he will choke (wonder where most of that is coming from..) I disagree. Can't wait to see him on the ice in Detroit!

PICZ! Must have picz of Goose, in full Wings regalia to boot!

If he's bubbling over with happiness at the prospect of playing with the Wings, you have to believe there's some chance that he's going to be here more than a year!

I can't wait to see this guy in action, gotta get my Wings Hossa jersey ASAP before he starts defining the '08-'09 hockey season with Pav, Hank and the gang!

He looks like he belongs in red!

There's even an uncanny resemblance to Feds in that photo.

Thanks for posting-- and we look forward to more once you get home.

Thanks, can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. It's good to know that he's so pumped to play for the Wings.

Hey Gaborickowns,

I took your pic and photoshopped it a bit...gave it a lil better crop, filled light , adjusted some levels, added a border , a lil neat logo...so you can see it a lil better now. If you'd like send over your other pics and i'll touch em for you. Check out my photography if you guys get bored www.myspace.com/capturedenigmaphoto go wings!.

Not to say your story is fake but those glowing lines on the photo. Hmmm seems to me guys we've been had. I'm fixing i guess, the lines he may have drawn in. I took the photo into photoshop cs2. The helmet strap is the only thing is glowing, hmmm i enhanced the view and it seems to be drawn. I re-edited this pic b/c i thought it was real. I'm working on an edit of those lines...but i may just be fixing a photoshopped pic opinions? I'll post my fixed version soon but, it may be all for the nothing it may be a farce...are there are other pics?.

Ok Here Is The Edit Without The Lines....



I'm Still Fishy Wether It's Real...i know i did a bad job editing it out...but hey i tried. If there are a ton of others like maybe him on the ice practicing etc i'll be sold.
