The Noodle 39 14 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Even i will admit no. Maybe if Dom would have not retired the first time and was our goalie from 2001-2008 then maybe a better chance but still probably not a shot. Hasek deserves his 39 retired in Buffalo and hopefully that happens soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rbochan 15 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Wow. I'm one of the biggest Hasek fans around and even I wouldn't suggest that. Absolutely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Jesus, why not just retire every number for any Wing who had so and so many points, led the league a season in this or that... or how about made more than 2 million a year. No, the place Dom's number should be retired is Buffalo, but he left long ago. I swear, this is not something you just five away to any great guy, any great player. The criteria is much higher. He wins us one Cup and his number is retired? Jesus, think with your heads, not your fan homer heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey 145 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Not a chance. Lidstrom? Yes. 4 Cups, captain, 5 (6?) Norris trophies, first-team All-Star 7 times, all with Detroit. Hasek? No. Maybe if he'd played his whole career with Detroit (and how many extra Cups would that be...). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kronwall55 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Should Buffalo retire #39 in Hasek's honor? Yes. Should Detroit retire #39 in Hasek's honor? No. The Brett Hull route. His number was retired in St. Louis where he was the face of the franchise for years. Not in Dallas or Detroit where he won the cup. Hasek's number should be retired in Buffalo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitaljohn88 4 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Not a chance. Lidstrom? Yes. 4 Cups, captain, 5 (6?) Norris trophies, first-team All-Star 7 times, all with Detroit. Hasek? No. Maybe if he'd played his whole career with Detroit (and how many extra Cups would that be...). Lidstrom will be retired. Osgood brings up an interesting argument, partly because of the history of Wings goalies. The last goalie the Red Wings had other than Ozzy that started more than 3 seasons was.... Greg Stefan from 84'-89'. Osgood has been a staple in the Wings goal compared to the circus of other goalies we've gone through. With 2 (3) cups already, and the possibility for more, he may have a case once he retires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwingsfan18 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Well, I would at least give it a semi retirement, (nobody else gets to use it) and I bet thats what will probably happen since I can't think of any other players that have the 39 as their number. If this was Buffalo then yes. But as long as Harry Lumley and Roger Crozier do not have their numbers retired than by no means should Hasek. Three years should never get a number retired. Even if it is Gretzky. Franzen might want it back.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 This is just ridiculous. No way in hell Dom should get his number retired in Detroit. Buffalo should, without Dom they wouldnt have done jack all through the 90's. Agreed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NKYWingsFan 4 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 Sharp needs to cram another doughnut into his cram hole. The Wings should retire Dom's #39?!? "No, man. No. Hell no! I believe you'd get your ass beat for saying something like that." If this happens, I'm going to start a petition that they retire Boyd Devereaux's # 21.

If this was Buffalo then yes. But as long as Harry Lumley and Roger Crozier do not have their numbers retired than by no means should Hasek. Three years should never get a number retired. Even if it is Gretzky. Hold on, I bought a puck when I went to game 5 against Dallas. It was signed by Franzen WITH his ORIGINAL number (39!) He switched when he found out Dom was un-retiring. I think Franzen might possibly want his number back now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 no no, no no no. I think Hasek was a detrimental part to the Wings success over the past years, but definitely not worthy of having his name up with the likes of Howe and Yzerman. Besides, living in Denver, I can get an Av's fan to give a real reason why they retired Bourque's number. Then I would be in the same boat. I'm guessing you meant "instrumental?" And as everyone else has already said, this is a ridiculous idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slave 31 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 nope nada no way no how, i agree with all of ya hang it in buffalo but not in the joe... on that note, if we sign fedorov to his end his carreeer here what do you think the odds are of his number hanging? (hmm sounded like a legit question in my head. p.s. and i hope in 10-15 years we see 13 and 40 hanging there, after they win us 5 or 6 more cups Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 10, 2008 The Wings have a problem that few teams have had to deal with. We've had TOO MANY amazing HOFers play for this team. We just can't retire them all, and I'm a believer that you only get your number retired if you play your whole (or most of) your career with a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
