Red jerseys at home?

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

But then they took on a new smell known as "swamp"   ::yark::

Wow, I posted that?  Shows what happens when I try to think early in the morning...no, I am intimately aware that male sports equipment inevitably smells like slow death.  As nasty as guys can reek, I far prefer that to these well-groomed men whose smell is as carefully crafted (through the use of face wash, body wash, cologne, aftershave, hair "product," etc) as a Nike ad campaign.  This is only one reason I should depart the NYC metro area for the wilds of Canada.

Pat "Holy Diver" Burrell is the poster boy for being able to tell about dressing to the right or left.  He wears him some tiiiiiiiiight pants.  I think what amazes me most about sports though, is how much athletes sweat.  I've given hugs to victorious athlete friends before they've left the playing surface (or more accurately, before they've hit the locker rooms) and literally had to dry clean the sweater/suit/whatever I was wearing at the time because it was so nasty after.

Looks like a different kind of red jersey at home this Saturday:

It'd be cool to get one of those big 'C' jerseys, though I doubt I'll be able to afford it.

Hmm... gonna have to start saving my pennies for the next week

It will be interesting to see who they choose as the "best" player for particular numbers.  I wonder if they'll do some sort of write-up weighing the merits of different players.

Right.  Not sure I'd want to be making the call on some of them.

excellent idea. kind of like the team canada world cup unis.

[A-19]

what's the guess on how much one of those c-jerseys would cost?

and i assume we're back to white at home in general though? having seen 4 years of games that way, it's jarring to think otherwise!

I would imagine that the Nieuwendyk's and Dryden's could very well go for over $1000.

[Beeeej]

If Dryden and Nieuwendyk had worn them, maybe - but not just because they have the right name and number and another player wore them in a game.  I wouldn't expect any of them to go for more than $500, particularly given that the bidding will be spread out (to an extent, anyway) over about thirty jerseys.

For the same reason, they'd probably be likely to get more money for each jersey by auctioning off two or three at each home game.

See, now this is where saying the names on the ice were the "best" gets hairy.  Baby was a terrific player and obviously was vital to the success of the '02-'03 team.  But the best #21 I've seen was Brad Chartrand, captain of the '96 team.   Those 2 players had different roles too.  And that's not counting any other #21s from the previous 3 decades (Manderville also wore that #).  I wonder who made the call as to the "best" player for each uni #.  Coach?  The team?  Andy Noel?
