not the best pic...its from my cell afterall lol

but its Gordie Howe's retired number in Houston

and i do hate that the canucks changed their banners to match the new look....

imo its messing with the hockey gods....even if they iced a cup champion worthy lineup..they wont win unless they go back to the old banners!

re the Coffey captain jersey:

- Although Mario was the captain for so long, we all know that he missed "just a few" games in most seasons. So it seems plausible that Mr. Coffey would have worn the Captain's C at some point, in Mario's stead.

- re the Red-Wing theory: I think that this Penguins jersey was a 3rd jersey originally, and it then became the permanent jersey a few seasons later. So if Coffey had moved to Detroit by the time that Jersey became the regular, maybe he had at least worn it when it was just a 3rd jersey.

Or maybe poster-charger is just omiscient? I wonder if he's upset that his kill-the-discussion post has actually caused some of that despised discussion? (yeah, I'm being sarcastic).

after consulting hockeydb.com and nhluniforms.com...coffey only wore these penguin jerseys

the pens switched to the "robopidgeon" the year after coffey left....and those 3rds didnt come until 95-96..becoming full time in 97-98

Coffey never wore that jersey as a penguin.

And the 2nd half of your post is missing: the part where you explain why he didn't wear it. ie. because it was a prototype only, or because (insert other plausible explanation here).

Sorry for the off-topic, but the inability of some people to elaborate (or just to not sound so matter-of-factly) is an annoyance on this and other message boards.

There, I feel better now. (now Charger77 would have used 4 posts to say what I just said, each a short point, and waiting for someone to ask for further info).

It reminds me of marking students exams, where they write part of the answer, and the marker waves his red-pen and says "yes, and........?". Some people just don't get communication.....or consider their reader.

because theres a "C" on the jersey...and the "C" from those jerseys had "66" on the jerseys...not "77"

Ah, Lil Jon a.k.a. the unofficial mascot of the Atlanta Thrashers. The 'Canes have Ric Flair...we got Lil Jon. I wonder who wins?

WOW! not that I've ever been a huge fan of Fuhr, but I have no recollection of him in Calgary... I mean playing for the next door rivals??? how desparate do you have to be???

Well, almost as much as thinking you can rekindle the glory years by re-uniting with the one (The Great One) who allowed you to win Stanley Cups with a 3.87, 3.44 & 3.43 GAA (and a Vezina wih 3.43!!!)

i remember fuhr as a flame...but thats prolly kuz hes my fave all-time goalie (and shares my b-day)

but its another former king goalie that i have no recollection of playing for the flames (everytime i see the opening montage for behind the mask) kelly hrudey...i see him in a flames jersey and go wtf?

after some research...he never did play for the flames...so i wonder why that pic is part of the montage lol
