Cole Caufield switching to #13

[BLNY]

I'm wondering if anyone even wore 13 aft er cammalleri. That was a long time ago.... probably 12 year ago now.

Superstitions aside, I think jerseys with 13 look pretty nice.

Domi would have been the most notable.

Ahh, good catch.

Great jesture and good to have his own identity, 22 was always Steve Shutt for me

Really, Steve Shutt? Not Dale "Dutch Gretzky" Weise?

Nice

For the love of God no, we're still stuck with Version 2.0 in Armia for a few more months, no more.

 

[Realm]

Guessing the Jackets and probably the Flames retire #13 in the near future.

Just a heads up, we may be re-signing him.

Awesome!

All diminutive NHL players from here to eternity should migrate to the #13.

Skill players who play a crafty or shifty/speed changing game #13 feels has been a thing for a while. But I guess maybe Whitney, Datsyuk, Gaudreau, and Barzal isn't that big a group. (Datsyuk and Barzal aren't diminutive, but were/are stylistically similar to the group.)

Anyway, still in shock.

Great geature by Cole, sad if this is actually accurate . Habs staff or someone is removing the tributes.

Canadian team has reportedly been removing memorials placed for Johnny Gaudreau

It has been reported that the staff at the Bell Center in Montreal have been removing tributes for Johnny Gaudreau.

Selanne and Kozlov are pretty notable ones too

Selanne and Kozlov are pretty notable ones too

Kozlov was huge & rangy. Selanne was a burst/explosive player. Great players (the former some of the time), but not really like the Whitney/Datsyuk/Gaudreau/Barzal type. Come to think of it, Caufield is kind of more like Atkinson & DeBrincat than those guys, too.

I'm talking about the 5'10 Slava Kozlov not Victor.

Just like I said on the Habs board, normally I don't like players (established ones) changing numbers. This is a clear exception to that. Obviously Caufield looked up to and greatly respected Gaudreau. Gaudreau inspired a lot of people in his life.

 

[CanadienShark]

Hopefully the Habs step up and allow fans, say from now to the start of the season for example, to bring in their #22 jerseys to get them changed to #13 if they want at no charge. Didn't Nylander pay for the fans to get their #29 changed to #88?

I don't expect that will happen, but I hope they do. The Habs can afford it and it's a small price to pay, to show respect to both the fans and Gaudreau's memory.

I didn't want to bog down this thread with this discussion earlier since it's such a positive story. I know in the NFL that players have to buy out remaining stock to change numbers or change them like a year in advance (which is a big deal for players who sell significant merchandise). According to this tweet, the NHL has no such fee. But, the deadline had passed for a change, but the NHL (and I guess Fanatic's) agreed to waive it according to this tweet.

Which according to google translate says this.

Cole Caufield's number change - I'm told there is no fee for the player to do so (unlike the NFL). That said, the deadline to make the change in Caufield's case had passed and the NHL made an exception.

I'll need a new avatar! Very nice gesture and that number will look good on him too.

Also, if you don't know what to do with your #22 jerseys, you could always use them to honor Montreal born & raised Mike Bossy.

PLD few years ago, now Caufield.

He just scored his 13rd goal of the year in Columbus!
When the stars align

13th goal for #13 in columbus. There was 13 mins left in the period when he scored. Slaf’s assist on the goal was his 13th point.

That’s wild!! How can you not believe in Hockey gods with stuff like that.

Just like the last game of the year Habs’ legend Guy Lafleur who wore #10 died where the Habs scored 10 goals

Correct me if I'm wrong, but also on CBJ's 21st game when they were up 2-1?
