nash61 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 With McElhinney being picked up by the Leafs, is this the first time in NHL history that a team has dressed two goaltenders wearing numbers in the 70s?

I'm actually kind of bummed they'll only be wearing orange homes next year, and I love orange. This has a great color balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 My favorite player as a kid. Always wore #96 playing hockey growing up and still do to this day because of him-- At the start of the 1995–96 season, Bure changed his jersey number from 10 to 96. The switch commemorated the day on which he first landed in North America from Moscow, on September 6, 1991 (9th month, 6th day). He had originally requested to wear the number when he first joined the Canucks, but was not permitted by head coach Pat Quinn, who did not approve of high jersey numbers.[82] After the Canucks made a deal with the Buffalo Sabres to reunite Bure with Alexander Mogilny, the jersey number was deemed acceptable because of Mogilny's number 89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogilny defected in 1989, Bure's 96, and Jagr's 68 commemorates the Prague Spring in 1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham_Clayton Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The Australian Football League women's competition kicked off this weekend, with Collingwood player Emma King wearing #60. Numbers this high are very rare - the next highest number in the Collingwood squad is 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(probably)notabandwagonfan Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 On 1/29/2017 at 11:08 PM, McTuna said: Amir Johnson wears #90 for the Celtics, even though he wore 15 last year in Toronto. As a general rule, I don't think basketball players should wear numbers above the 50's (with a few possible exceptions for numbers like 99) Why would 99 be an exception? It's annoying as heck to see on the court/baseball diamond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A star has worn no. 0. And he played a little centre field. In fact, the Rangers had two centre fielders with no. 0. Also, it suprises me that the Dodgers had a number 0 before the Braves did.

So, I'd like to see a star AGAIN wear #0, and preferably see a team wear baby blue roads again, too. (No pullovers though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Delon Wright of the Toronto Raptors wears #55... not a bizarre number in and of itself for an NBA player, but a seemingly bizarre number for a guard. There aren't all that many NBA players who wear numbers in the 50s (relatively speaking) but of the ones I can think almost all are huge guys who play power forward or center, not guards.
