New and Changed Jersey Numbers for 2020/21

[Sauce12]

Maybe they realized what 88 means after the fact...

Probably a good call, IMO.

Well, yeah, a german wearing 88 is not the best idea

 

[Soundgarden]

I forgot all about Olli Jokinen playing for the Blues.

Weird seeing Thornton with 97.

Leafs are Canada's team, afterall.

Thompson is the first Jet to wear #11 since Rypien (who never got to play for the team).
Jets announce number changes, Thompson to wear 11 in honour of Rypien

*Alex Galchenyk/Dominik Simon, Simon gave up his #12 when Marleau was picked up at the deadline.

I just looked up what it means ......and.........uh.....

Wow

 

[FerrisRox]

This is a Number 9 thing (5+4=9)

Nine is always his preferred number and he's done 6 before (upside down 9.)

He also wore 54 with the Ducks, before he switched to 9.

4th different jersey number for him already...and he wore a few different numbers in Europe too. 81 is obviously a reverse of the 18 he had been wearing...but he only played a few games in that number and wore a bunch of different numbers before switching to it... I don't know every number he wore with his junior teams, but I've seen Simon in jerseys numbered 90, 91, 17, 94, 49, 12, 18, and now 81. Unusual to see someone change numbers that often.

 

[Ceremony]

Jordie Benn is switching to #8. Gaudette gave up #88 to Schmidt and then had to give up #8 to Jordie Benn. Born in 1996 and 88+8=96.

If anyone cares about more to that story there is a video interview with Gaudette on canucks.com.

I can genuinely think of nothing I'd care about less.

 

[DCDM]

Dominik Simon will wear 81.

Louis Domingue will wear 70.

Unless he's got a real cannon of a slapper

No...

That shit is purely an American phenomenon.

 

[Cor]

Has TJ Brodie changed his number from 78 yet.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Has TJ Brodie changed his number from 78 yet.

Why would he?

 

[Cor]

Why would he?

Don't make me answer that

 

[Langdon Alger]

Don't make me answer that

Well, that’s the number he chose after signing there. Kind of weird that you think he’d change it before even playing a single game with his new team.

What is an American phenomenon? The love of neo-nazis for the number 88 (88 = HH = Heil Hitler)? Definitely not purely an American phenomenon.
