Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 I think he should keep the 52. Besides Kronwall told him that it made him look bigger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 He wore 2 and then 8 when Hatcher came aboard. I find it strange that Abdelkader is wearing 8, since I thought that while not retiring his number, his number was like Larry Aurie's and Konstantinov's in that nobody used it out of respect for them. He still has a stall in the locker room, so I figured that his number would be off limits, especially for a youngster like Darth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mindfly Report post Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) I'm really confused why Z continued to use that "rookie" #40, when he used #20 all his career until he got to detroit...in 2001/2002 detroit had not signed Lang had they?

That belonged to Luuuuuuuuc. Personally, I think Rig should just keep 52 unless he has another number with strong personal meaning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 I really don't see a reason for him to change it. His rookie season was already consistently NHL-caliber, I'd imagine he'd want to keep that juju going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
