numbers, numbers, numbers

I still think the best non-traditional number is Jagr's #68.  It's the year of the "Prague Spring" and his uncle was a freedom fighter against the Russians.

That's GREAT!!

I also thought I saw a #99 on the Princeton (or was it Yale) team?

I have another question about numbers, actually--
I saw that Murray and Lenny "got to keep" their numbers, but Baby received #25 (Brian Swanson has - or already had; I don't know the chronology of the team -  #21).  

Do most teams allow their new players to keep their numbers?  Is this a "selling point" when they're trying to acquire new players?

We've talked about the significance of #9, the lack of #13 on our team... are there any other numbers that have particular widespread significance?

From what I understand on the Cornell team, anyway, players can request numbers the summer before they arrive, and are given a choice among the available numbers.  This, however, does not guarantee they'll get a number they request.  I know someone who listed his top three jersey numbers and got a fourth.  C'est la vie, I guess.  The process is probably similar for other teams.  I remember when Rick DiPietro played for Boston University, he had an odd number (too lazy to look up what it was), and I believe Parker said something to the effect of, "I thought it was pretty ballsy that this guy came in and requested a number out of the ordinary for our team."

Honestly Young Faithful, your question #1 is a no-brainer.. maybe you're just a "New Ignorant Faithful" who's trying to think she knows shit. Yuuuup.

Seriously, what is your problem? And how does asking a "no-brainer" question make someone look like they "know shit?"

Although you've done a pretty good job sharpening up your posts this year, I would like to remind you that you used to say that McKee sucked, let in goals because he spazzed out at the end of games, and that you could have saved some of his goals against. So don't criticize anyone on the forum for stupidity.

(for the record--the david part of the question was a (failed?) attempt of sarcasm/humor...)
i remembered the another one i had...in a team picture i got at the beginning of the year, McKee is wearing twenty-something and is not wearing all the goalie stuff...what's with that?

thanks guys! :-D
(ps--HOTEL-- i don't really "know shit" as you put it. hence the post being in the form of questions not statements...)

[Ack]

In that case, she should've answered my other question about falling in hockey love.

"Do you...?"
"I do"
"And, do you...Facetimer?"
"Blah blah"

yes i know that. it's a joke.  ::rolleyes:: CU as in this lovely university. and it rhymes with G-Unit. kind of an inside joke, from high school. i am perhaps the least ganster person you'll (n)ever meet (but how the hell would you know anyway?)...

so i'd appreciate if you'd ease up off my back about it.

Go back to listening to the Eagles like me - lots of good advice from them:

Take It Easy
Peaceful Easy Feeling

Does anyone else feel like HC is itching for a fight today?
