Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Now that Langfeld has left for pasture's new, does anyone know if Flip will get the #15 as he used that early in his career and at GR's instead of #51 that he used for the Wings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CdnWingsFanEh 2 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Yeah, I kinda like the 51 too. I've kinda started getting a negative vibe about anyone on the team in number 15. It sorta has bad mojo. Keep 51, I say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeeSpot82 10 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 He wears 51 because that's what he wore for Jokerit in Finland, not because Josh Langfeld came around and took 15. He requested to wear 51 when he was told that he would stick with the big club last November. He won't be switching, because he's semi-famous in Finland for being #51.

Guest Crymson Report post Posted July 25, 2007 Now that Langfeld has left for pasture's new, does anyone know if Flip will get the #15 as he used that early in his career and at GR's instead of #51 that he used for the Wings. He used #41 in Finland. I highly doubt that Langfeld's number took priority over Filppula's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swayze 81 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 As an aside I never knew Homer wore 15 Why the number change? I belive he gave it to Dmitri Mironov when he joined the team (pretty sure Homer wore it for his first full year, then Mironov came in the next year and he gave it to him, and also probably took 96 because that's the year he made the team ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw some tape where Scotty Bowman mentions this particular fact, and that if he didn't improve that would be his last year in the NHL as well. I forget which tape though.

Per the 2006-2007 media guide Homer started his 2nd season with #15 and switched to #96 mid-season. Mironov brought over the #15 with him when he was aquired by the Wings. Also, a bit of team trivia... #15 is the most worn number in Wings history! Edited July 25, 2007 by Gizmo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the league more competitive and salaries(sort of under control) and a cap we wont have the jugernaut teams of the past, becides if he signs filpula to long deal and he ends up sucking, you dont have to pay him all that money plus I found this on the TSN.ca website..... how many years does filpula have left on his contract RENEGOTIATION OF CONTRACTS Will Clubs be able to renegotiate contracts with players? No. Player contracts will not be renegotiated (upward or downward) during their term. Extensions may be negotiated but only in the final year of the contract and only if such extension is for an amount that can be accommodated in a Club's upper limit for the current year or as computed for future years. P.S. and I didnt even insult you this time, i must be in a good mood. Edited July 25, 2007 by snowman89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
