I was looking at this story yesterday like "I should probably post about this, but ehhhh".

Could they not have just had his name retired without a number?

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Bill Thomas gon' be pissed.

 

[StrangeVision]

ugh

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

When do they strip Ekblad of his number in order to retire a jersey for Potvin?

 

[ShootIt]

Can't wait till we retire Zimmerman Advertising number too.

Why aren't any players numbers in the rafters celebrating our long storied successful on-ice winning history? Oh wait...

Hey, don't be too harsh on the franchise. We made the Stanley Cup Final that one time.

Lmao.

Probably this 100%

That timing

It should be Luongo as the 1st player. Or if Mellanby was never traded.

 

[Ghoste]

Fun fact - #37 is my usual go-to jersey number.

The more I think about this the more mad I get. It is equivalent to Yormark's confetti party at the end of a 70 point season.

When can we stop being a joke? The only guys we honor are rich douche bags who did nothing to help this team actually win.

We can start hanging shit in our rafters AFTER we have a stanley cup banner hanging in our rafters and after someone has actually accomplished something other than being rich.

lol @ retiring a number for Huizenga.

 

[RainingRats]

Why would a coach who coached here for 2.25 seasons get a tribute? Did Dineen get a tribute?

Yeah, that's laughable if anyone actually thinks thats even a consideration.

I think people believe that's what they're doing...

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

NOOOOOO that number has to be retired for Kidder dammit

 

[Chaos2k7]

Who would want to miss the montage of GG sneering from behind the bench. Give the fans what they really want!

Anything to slight the organization and to further the narratives is what is complained about thread after thread.

Most of the same posters ripped on Guds forever and complained about GG incessently, but hey, now they are legends.

 

[Chaos2k7]

When some are trying to justify Scott Luce, you know the crazy is spilling out.

At least we dont hear about EDM in every thread anymore, lol.

Well that went high and wide.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Well that went high and wide.

Probably afraid of the fan lashback, lol.

Oh well, no matter what happened it would not have changed any opinions around here, the only saving grace was not having to see the celebrating of another Vegas win by some of the posters around here.
