Lamy's a bit slow nowadays, but he's still got a wicked wrister. This was a great trade. Bolsters our top 6 with a guy that has a high motor. Keep preying on the cap strapped teams Ray.

Devs3cups Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Can't wait to see how he performs the next two years. We should have sufficient cap space to re-sign him and I'm pretty sure we will if he does well during the two years since the plan should be pretty much figured out with the way things are going and we will probably be more attractive for guys to sign and re-sign. Time will tell but I'm excited that he's a Devil. Two years is a lot of hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely. 10 hours ago, Martyisth3b3st said: His nickname with the caps is MoJo. Sorry to bother you, grandpa. I didn't say it wasn't, I merely questioned WHY it was. Because its stupid. Marcus doesn't even have an "o" in it. Whether I am old or not (and it made me laugh that I'm a grandpa at my age), facts are facts. And if you persist I will be forced to nickname all of the players inappropriately. Pavel Zacha = PeeZa.

Maurice-Jones-Drew was named MoJo in the NFL for years. People get upset about the stupidest fvcking things, goddamn. Mo is a nickname for Maurice, so that makes sense. And I'm not upset, I have an opinion. Cory Schneider = CorNer Edited July 6, 2017 by mfitz804 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer91 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 hey, has anybody seen an interview with Johansson since the trade, I feel like I haven't seen one. Only something saying that he was surprised and was unexpected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only something saying that he was surprised and was unexpected. I know he's over in Sweden right now, so I don't think he's done any interviews or conference calls. All i've seen from him is a post on I believe Instagram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you unfamiliar with the fact that Mo is a nickname for Maurice, based on the fact that many pronounce it Mo-Reese rather than More-Reese? Have you ever heard of Maurice Vaughn? Maurice Cheeks? Have you ever heard of another Marcus being called Mo? Maybe if you don't know what you're talking about it's better not to say anything. Adam Henrique=DamnHens!

Triumph Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 His nickname as 'MoJo' comes from the fact that his last name is 'Johansson' and his first name is Marcus and 'mojo' is an existing concept. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Wait, haha. Maurice = Mo "That makes sense" Marcus = Mo "That's a ridiculous forced nickname" k. Everyone called Mariano Rivera 'Mo'- I don't really see the issue myself. Assuming Johansson plays well for us, we can have a lot of fun with this lol.

Triumph Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Howard Johnson's nickname was 'HoJo' with a long O even though Howard and Howie and Johnson are all said with short o's (one of them is probably a schwa but I don't care enough to look it up). It should've been 'HaJa'. Let's get this fixed. Edited July 6, 2017 by Triumph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
