[bp spec]

sigh

Zibanejad & RNH are both born in 1993. I would imagine Voracek picked it because of Nedved.

Voracek actually picked #9 when he first got here. He wore during the preseason & switched before the year started.

Thank you kind sir for that tidbit of info, I did faintly remember Vorecek wearing #9

Streit has been bad lately

 

[flyerstime]

the death of his hockey IQ.

You can't kill what's never lived.

Anderson just pulled a Boucher/Emery special..

 

[Tripod]

that is off side not even close

And here in Canada I get to hear the announcers say "the fans voicing their displeasure on what they think is an offside play, but Voracek has to be stronger on the puck and not have happy feet"

 

[Cody Webster]

No it wasn't. Everyone came out of the zone, retagged, even thought the puck was already in the zone. Good call.

PECO.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

[bp spec]

The Czech Republic became independent in 1993. I'm sure that was the reason for Nedved and Voracek to choose that number.

first pp unit will get 40 seconds and then it just will be a ****show after that

Which would have been correct. Our announcers are just dumb

Your Av rules, and thank you for more info on the #93

The puck was in the zone before the 3rd guy tagged. Super close, but it was offisde

 

[Cody Webster]

IT WASNT OFFSIDE YOU IDIOT ANNOUNCERS!!

The trailing guy came out of the zone and re-touched before everyone went in the zone, even though the puck was already in the zone.

That's a legal play!

SIMMONDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Title (from 2009): One on One with Blue Jacket Jake Voracek

Is there any significance to the #93 your wear on the back of your sweater?

My dad told me to tell anyone who asked me about it that it’s because we had broken with the Slovakians (Czech Republic and Slovakia became separate nations on January 1st, 1993). But that wasn’t the reason. I just took it because I like it; it’s a nice number.

Simmonds!

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Tied game, 1-1.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Simmer !!!!

 

[Insulin]

Can't believe some teams think pressuring Giroux is a good idea.

 

[Appleyard]

Voracek wears 93 because of this.

A similar reason as Jagr wears 69.

EDIT: Didnt ever see that article MSE, interesting.
