Player Discussion Shane Pinto (C) - PART 2

[Burrowsaurus]

Any idea when he can exit quarantine?

This Thursday. Or Friday.

Says he’s gonna ask for 12 or 66. Hope it’s 66 so we can watch quebec and pittsburgh cry over it. Remember when Ho-sang wore 66

That would be brutal...66 is unofficially off limits for good reason.

f*** that lmao.

 

[Sens Vader]

66 would awesome

12 is good too

I like both of them tbh. Who's the last guy we had that wore 12? Fisher?

I like 66, Gives a middle finger to Pemguins fans which i’m always okay with.
People still wear #4 and #9. You shouldn’t have a claim on a number.

I respect the NHL for retiring #99 league wide but it has now created instances like this.

 

[OD99]

f*** that lmao.

Well nobody else has worn it...must be some reason.

99 was in deference to Gordie and 66 was hot on the heals as the next big thing. He will be a target with 66...what would he be trying to prove?

 

[Senscore]

Let Mario bitch about it if it happens.


He's good at that.

I agree it's incredibly disrepectful for anyone to wear Phillips number league wide.

 

[SensFactor]

I like 65

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

He’s not picking 66 lol

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

I'd love if he wore 66, though it probably isn't worth the attention it would bring him. If people can wear 9 and 4, they can sure as hell wear 66 lol. Are we gonna have to unofficially retire 87 and 97 too? f*** that.

That's always what I think to myself whenever people say you shouldn't wear 66 and 99. What about 4 for Orr and even 9 for Richard. Both guys that defined their time and made history. I feel like 66 and 99 stick out and that's why people try to refrain from using them but other than that who cares.

If you can live with people chirping you every time you hit the ice and you're comfortable with that then wear whatever you want IMO.

But I would bet money that Pinto won't take 66, it'll be 12 for sure.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

If I were a player I'd pick 96 as that was the year my dad passed away

 

[Sun God Nika]

I like 65

I would personally drive down to CTC on game day and cuss him out.

 

[GCK]

I’d love to see Pinto between Tkachuk and Paul for a couple games.

Or if Logan Brown could pull out some magic

That he doesn’t give a f*** about dumbass numbers and tradition it stupid. I’ll buy a pinto jersey if he does it

 

[cudi]

If no one can wear 66 then retire 66 league wide. Until then I dont give a f***. Its a number.

 

[edguy]

If no one can wear 66 then retire 66 league wide. Until then I dont give a f***. Its a number.

I agree. And 66 is at best 3rd on the list of numbers to retire league wide if they wanna go that route.

 

[Bileur]

Not 66. Not because of Mario, just because it’s a shite number.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

I’d love if he did #66

Anyone can wear it, they just don't.

You guys must understand that numbers have gotten more and more important. Comparing to 9 or 4 doesn't make sense.

It really started with Gretzky and then when Lemieux followed those 2 numbers came with certain expectations.

Who else wears 87 or 97 right now? Who else comes in to the league with even 88?

I won't care if Pinto wears 66 but I will be very surprised and it will be a burden as he will need to answer for over and over.

What is the exact quote? Was he even serious?

 

[Bevans]

I, for one, hope that Pinto does not take Ho Sang's number.
