OT: Which Penguins numbers will be OFFICIALLY RETIRED or UNOFFICIALLY REMOVED FROM CIRCULATION?

(Russians don't have pierogis.)

Geno was probably standing up for his Slavic brethren like a good Panslavist!

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

lol people voted Fleury.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

understandable...you might not have seen him play in the playoffs. for those of us that did, i don't think there is much doubt.

No, he means that his number is already retired.

 

[CrosbyMalkin]

Only 4 players should be retired in my opinion (66, 68, 87,71).

 

[Zirakzigil]

Why are we retiring Malkin? Guy is only like the 101st best player to play. Doesnt deserve to be honored that way.

Deep cut, I like.

 

[Ugene Magic]

I'm sure this made top 100...

 

[Human]

Agreed

It's stupid

Honor them sure.. But retiring numbers? On a team like PIT we'd have like ten numbers left. Too many stars have made big impacts.

What’s the difference? No one will ever wear 66, 68, 71, 87 or 58 again anyway...

edit: also, why is Briere an option? His number is already retired.

I think a Jagr retirement would be a great way to open the season next year.

Get fans immediately interested, tied to the old - and then focused on the new.

lol people voted Fleury.

Don't forget the unofficially removed from circulation category is included.
Do you really want to stick it on another goalie?

I'd stick it on Tyler Wright if he wanted to come out of retirement.

 

[Power Surge]

How about this one?

Uncle Gary Bettman 001

 

[heysmilinstrange]

He seemed like a weasley little brownnoser of a wank-stain so yeah that almost kinda tracks even though you're kidding haha

For such a smart, team-oriented working class hero it's odd he was seemingly never offered a job in Pittsburgh or elsewhere.

I think he works in finance now.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Penguins retiring Fleury's jersey after he retires seems like the kind of stupid shit they'd do, so that's why I voted for Fleury in this poll.

 

[SouthGeorge]

lol people voted Fleury.

Then they double down and vote for Letang Imagine trying to explain that one to your kids or grandkids. That guy was suppose to be great, those 3 were great, that guy is Yinzer jesus, and then that guy never won a Norris and bled goals against.

Of course.
