SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 I definitely see him going with 81. That's the common technique players use when their number is taken. Although I guess I wouldn't rule out him taking another number in the teens seeing as who knows if he'll be here longer than one season. I sure hope we can fit him in and he stays longer and enjoys it here, but we'll cross that bridge later in the season most likely. Hossa #81 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earthhuman 8 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Not the food, the number Pi e is a constant, like pi. It means 2.71 or thereabouts. EDIT: Someone got there first, my bad. I like 66, funny. Edited July 3, 2008 by Earthhuman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Ummm.. your binary examples are 49 and 56. Did I miss the joke? 00110001 00111000 18 in binary. Or 0! If you're into trigonometry you'll get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeeSpot82 10 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 he will wear 74 (for the 7.4 million).....but I wish he'd wear 00, no one ever uses double zero and I think that's a shame Nobody wears 00 because it's not allowed. It was allowed once upon a time, but the league has altered the number rules (for some reason) to make it so no player can wear 0 or 00. The last person to wear 0 was Martin Biron in Buffalo in 1996. The others were John Davidson and Neil Sheehy (a defenseman). My vote would be for 81, while we're here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric Montross wore it when he was drafted by the Celtics (I don't know why I know that . . .) and Gilbert Arenas (Washington Wizards) is probably who you are thinking about. My money is on #81, it makes me think of another sniper that played for us . . . #91 Edited July 3, 2008 by tipetz22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigWinston 15 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 I think he'll wear 93. Franzen will switch to 39 now Hasek's gone. (I think that's right - v. tired at the moment!) It'll be a big game of musical chairs, only with numbers.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 I hope Franzen stays with 93. It's a cooler number than 39, and not many players wear numbers in the 90's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a bold move for diversity, the NHL will remove its ban on non-Arabic numbers, and will allow Roman numerals equal status. Hossa will wear XVIII. In a related story, Chris Osgood's personal website will receive a record number of hits from guys looking for porn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mpitts 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 All I know is that as soon as he decides I will be ordering one. I had a Hossa jersey for the Thrashers games (I live in Atlanta now and have season tickets). He was my favorite player in Atlanta and I will be ready to grab a RBK Premier. I just got my Lidstrom RBK Edge with the SCF patch. Let me just say.. It is very nice.

mpitts 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 As a Detroit Red Wing, Hossa should wear number 17. Here's why: '97 - Doug Brown wears 17. Red Wings win Stanley Cup '98 - Doug Brown wears 17. Red Wings win Stanley Cup '02 - Brett Hull wears 17. Red Wings win Stanley Cup '08 - Dallas Drake wears 17. Red Wings win Stanley Cup If you ask me, he shouldn't even be given a choice.

What about the many years Detroit had a number 17 and didn't win the cup, maybe we should ban the number all together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
