Height of Juuse Saros

[Moorpheus*]

I was just curious as to what his actual height was as I see a few different sites have him at 5'11, but watching him in highlights this morning he looks way shorter than that. Is that just how he plays or is it more accurate that he's more around 5'9?

Just from eyeing him in the prospects and rookie camps I'd say 5'9 is about right. As long as he stops the puck he can be 3 feet tall, I don't care. :-D

I wonder if he'll keep 74 as his number. Seems an odd choice for a goalie's number.

Our starting defenseman wears number 76.

He just switched to 74 this year. He did wear number 1 in his past appearances in Nashville.

I believe his explanation for 74 was his brother played and wore 7 and his dad wore 4 as a basketball referee.

Saw him last night after the game and we're both the same height. Actually I was surprised as I thought he would be shorter based on what he looks like in net.

That makes sense, though. It's the year I graduated from HS. He KNEW he'd want that number this season. Also, he's not a goalie.

Was he still on skates?

He does look short, but he has great positioning.

 

[Marty Party]

He better not have been on skates.

*sigh*

I remember someone else who wore 74... and he was a LOT bigger than Saros

^ Three Preds players have worn #32 now but only one is Mr. Gorgeous.

 

[thecloser]

Holtby wears 74

Saraos vs Mazanec

Can someone explain to me why Saraos is headed to Milwaukee and Mazanec is staying in Nashville? What am I missing?

Rinne is the number 1 here. This way Saros gets plenty of playing time instead of riding the bench.

Our backup doesnt get much playing time. Saros needs to be seeing regular action. He is the #1 guy in MIL.

Ah. I thought you were talking about Sergei Kostitsyn and were giving it a negative connotation.

That was Swampy's graduation year. I have such good memories of him. Miss him.

Didn't realize Holtby wore that number. Guess people are branching out from between 29 and 50 now. Fine with me.

Doesn't seem odd to me, but then again, my other team is backstopped by #72 Sergei Bobrovsky, and is in the same division as the Capitals and #70 Braden Holtby.

(And I find Bob's number really easy to remember, if only because... well, if you've ever worked financial stuff for an organization that gets large numbers of donations from Jews (in my case, my synagogue) you become very intimately familiar with multiples of 18. )

Holtby wears 74

Holtby wears 70 unless he changed it this season.

This post restores my faith in the HF Boards humanity.

lol

Andrei Vasilevsky wears #88... So weird to see on a goalie.

Darren Pippa used to wear #92 or 93... And someone recently was #60 (Theodore?).

Definitely many more odd numbers than there used to be, for all positions.

...

Daren Puppa. His brother Derek played at UAH (how about a 23-0-3 record in 1995-96 ... when they were still Div II). I've played against Derek in pickup games before. Haven't seen him in years, though.

Funny story - I had a hat trick against Derek the first time I ever played against him. After the game I ran into him outside the locker room and mentioned that he must have had a rough night to let a scrub like me put in three on him. His reply was "well, I follow the guy's stick, and you don't know how to shoot so there's no telling how the puck is going to come off your stick". Which is totally correct. That was the last time I ever scored more than one against him in a game, though.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Haha, autocorrect... Of course I meant Puppa

 

[jwhouk]

Jesse Puljujarvi of Edmonton wears the number 98... something that, I wonder, they told him might not be a great idea.

Of course, Connor McDavid wears 97, so there's that.
