RedSox44 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If We Are Marshall was correct, West Virginia wore a green cross on the back of their helmets after the crash that killed Marshall's football team.Yeah, the movie is correct.http://www.helmethut.com/040407.htmlWVU quarterback Mike Sherwood, whose younger brother Kelly played for Marshall in 1971 tried to arrange a charity game against Ohio University the following week, an open date for WVU, so that the proceeds could be donated to benefit the crash victims. There was consideration given to the suggestion that the Mountaineers wear green jerseys for their final game against Maryland. While WVU students wore green armbands in the week following the crash, nothing was officially done by the football team for the one remaining game on the schedule. Instead, in accordance with Coach Bowden's strong Christian beliefs, a green cross was placed on the rear of each helmet for the spring football practice session to honor the crash victims. Thus, the Mountaineers did in fact wear a white helmet that had a green cross in the back as shown in the accompanying photo but it was done only during spring practice in 1971.

nash61 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Patch is nice, nice tribute logo. Hope the NHL goes the ribbon route.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

knnhrvy16 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I wonder what the Ducks will do for Salei. I don't know what the buzz is down in the OC, but would it be too far of a reaching thought to possibly retire his number? He played eight or so solid years in Anaheim (franchise leader in games played as a defenseman - 594), and from what I gather was a real fan favorite (not to mention he contributed a huge moment in Ducks history with that Game 3 (?) winning goal in 2003). This is just me personally, but I think I'd retire it. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I wonder what the Ducks will do for Salei. I don't know what the buzz is down in the OC, but would it be too far of a reaching thought to possibly retire his number? He played eight or so solid years in Anaheim (franchise leader in games played as a defenseman - 594), and from what I gather was a real fan favorite (not to mention he contributed a huge moment in Ducks history with that Game 3 (?) winning goal in 2003). This is just me personally, but I think I'd retire it.Eh, there's been a small sentiment on message boards for a number retirement, and as much as we all love Rusty, I don't think he's going to get it retired. The team has practically all but officially said that Teemu Selanne's #8 will be the first number retired by the team (then either Giguere or Scott Niedermayer to follow). Yeah he had a long career and is up there on some of the team leaderboards because of it, but I don't think it's number retirement worthy.Now I'd be surprised if they didn't wear a patch for Rusty. There most likely will be some sort of tribute for Rusty.If they did end up retiring the jersey because of the circumstances, I wouldn't make a stink about it, and I'm not adverse to it. But if I were making the decisions, I don't think I would. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksupilot Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Saw this article on Puck Daddy:http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Wild-goalie-Josh-Harding-8217-s-mask-honors-hoc?urn=nhl-wp12451The initial plan was to honor his grandmother on the mask. That was expanded to Boogaard and Rypien after their shocking deaths this summer, and then to Demitra last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 That spiraling O in "Pavol Demitra" really undermines the gravity of his untimely demise. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Messages notwithstanding, I really like the simplicity of that mask. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Jaroslav Halak will have a tribute to Pavol Demitra on the back of his mask. It's pretty great.Halak was a countryman and international teammate of Pavs. And of course Demitra spent the majority of his NHL career with the Blues.http://ingoalmag.com/news/halak-honors-slovakian-teammate-demitra-with-new-mask/ JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, let the teams that had losses create their own patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
