Except 87 and 71.

And they're only wearing 91 because they can't wear 19 or 9, which a lot of them, and probably many of us, grew up wearing.

 

[Sarcastic]

Except 87 and 71.

David Clarkson, Jordan Nolan, and Borna Rendulic surely match up to that group of 4.

 

[PRicci09]

19 is pretty good too. Backstrom, Johansen, Toews, Thornton


Maybe its something about the numbers 1 and 9 together.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Brad Richards is owning the league!

This also explains why the Central division is stacked.

Stamkos, Tavares, Seguin, Tarasenko... Nothing compares to 91!

#8 isn't too shabby... Doughty, Ovechkin, Pavelski, Trouba

 

[PWJunior]

Butch Goring was the OG #91. 4 Stanley Cups and could be the guy who started the whole Playoff Beard thing back in the day.

 

[Tarasenko]

I thought Marc Savard was considering retirement? How can he be owning the league while injured?

 

[sabresEH]

You should change the title so it says #91's own the league. I thought this would be a discussion about dominant birth years. Was I ever let down.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I think 99 owns the league.

 

[Swervin81]

Except 87 and 71.

Leo Komarov and David Clarkson?

19 has to be the number with the most points of the active players, right?

Oddly enough, only Tarasenko was actually born in 91 in that list.

Stamkos, Tavares, Seguin, Tarasenko... Nothing compares to 91!

Interesting to see whether any of these #91s end up edging Fedorov for the unofficial title of the best player to wear #91 in the NHL. Stamkos has had a pretty good start to his career but Fed's Hart and string of Cups aren't easy feats to beat. Then again, stating that Fedorov didn't quite reach his ceiling career-wise probably isn't being terribly bold. Tavares has to find another gear to get into the discussion while Seguin is definitely warming up.

Considering Doan also wears 19 and he's 10th in active points, probably. Thornton is 2nd in active points

Prust!

Not sure.

#19 has Joe Thornton and Doan in the top 10, but #26 has two 1,000-point guys (MSL and Elias). #12 has Iginla and Marleau and Gaborik all over 700.

 

[FoppaForsberg*]

Everyone seems to love 19, 91, or 09

 

[Breezer12]

Leo Komarov and David Clarkson?

I obviously realize you're joking but Komarov is currently wearing number 47 with the leafs he used to wear 87 in the KHL

 

[startainfection*]

Toews and Richards should switch numbers

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

91s vs NHLPA next lockout

Meh, for me the original OGs

 

[Emerica]

91 is the new 19

19 or 91:

Trottier, Goring, Yzerman, Sakic, Fedorov, Yashin, Stamkos, Tavares, Seguin, Tarasenko, Backstrom, Thornton, Richards, Doan, Spezza, Robinson, Ratelle, Naslund, Savard and... Daigle!
