Truth be told, I don't really believe in retiring numbers at all.

I like the way Toronto does it, by honoring them. They are in the rafters, but still in use

They recently changed that and they are retired now.

 

[Machinehead]

Wilson would be nothing in the 1980's

The guys in the 80's were tough but I don't recall any player who just likes hurting people as much as he does.

Yes and it sucked

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

They should retire Jagr's just so no idiot wears it. I hate that Hoffman took it in Florida. He looks like an idiot.

He used it for years. He just decided to stick with it. As long as teams don't retire a number, players can use it. DeAngelo using no 77 isn't an issue either

Oh, f*** em then

 

[Nopuckluck]

Seriously lol

This is the dirtiest team in the league

Gonna be a fun read

Which is why I hope under Quinn we stand up for ourselves and God forbid maybe even initiate.

Perfect night would be a win and 3 rangers get ejected for intent to injure

Matt Cooke?

Yea, but Bourque never played for the Rangers. Jagr played for the Panthers. I don't care if Hoffman uses it on Ottawa, but I would be pissed if he used it on the Rangers.

See, I'm hearing you, and then you take it 37 steps too far.

You're Tom Wilson. Except not good at hockey.

The idea that DeAngelo using the number of Phil Esposito, who played six seasons with the Rangers more than 25 years ago is offensive is nonsensical.

Dude, you need to see a shrink.

 

[Nickmo82]

If you didn't watch Ducks - Caps, you missed a fun one.

OMG....that went straight over my head. I thought he was talking about Ray Bourque, like a legendary player with an obscure number. HAHAHA

And Hoffman using no 68 in Florida, where Jagr played just a couple seasons, should not be an issue either. I could see people having an issue with it if it was Pittsburgh, but even then... If a number isn't retired, so be it

Yeah, he even asked Espo (completely unnecessary) and people were still mad.

 

[Machinehead]

77 is a cool hockey number

Who hurt you

I dunno, I always felt it's important to have an element of respect for those that come before you. No one remembers Esposito, but Jagr literally left the league last year.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Skjei is sitting it seems

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Who hurt you

This dude watches every game in the hopes he will witness a replay of the shoe game with Mike Milbury. He still hasn't realized that's not the way the game is played today, nor will it ever be again.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If he wasn't there would be a massive problem.

I certainly hope we never see someone like Milbury on the ice again, that's for sure
