Ryder takes #73, Gallagher now #11

[Wats]

Nice, Gallagher with #11 is going to be awesome. I'm pretty sure he wanted #11, it was his number in junior and Gomez was on the team at the time the camp started.

 

[JackZap]

He probably gave the kid a few bucks

He probably gave the kid a few bucks

Who knows, he might have been itching to change to #11 and didn't want to say anything to Marc.

 

[Dominator13]

Gallagher will redeem the #11.

Hopefully yes. The kid just got a full-time top 6 spot as a 20 year old 5'8 player who was drafted in the 5th round. The progression of his game had been incredible since draft day.

 

[Kingbobert]

Has it ever happened that a player changed numbers during the season? Usually its in the offseason

probably the most famous case of a midseason number change

 

[WeberBombs]

Gallagher is assigned #11 as his original number in NHL13 [Junior days]
If you traded Gallagher to any team, he'd have 11 as his jersey.

I'm sure if you trade Galchenyuk, he would have 94, and the game disc would burn your XBOX because you just traded him.

I'm sure Gally will bring honour back to the once great number worn by the likes of Saku and Muller. It will help us forget about the dishonour that Gomes bestowed upon it lol

Ryder is at Air Canada Center ..

First time he is traded he says but very excited to be back in Montreal.

So Gallagher wanted 11. That's probably why!

Luc Gelinas confirms Ryder didn't have to ask for the number, Gallagher gave it to him.

I agree with the previous posters that this was prolly a good time as any for Gallagher to get his real number (11) ... Its a number that suits him much better anyways.

 

[Dwight]

I know it's "only" Michael Ryder, but it would look weird seeing him in any other number besides #73.

Gallagher is better off with #11 - he'll restore glory to the number that the last guy dragged through the dirt.

Good thing I didn't buy a Gally shirt yet

 

[hey]

Ray Bourque changed numbers mid-season when his number 7 was restired. Also O'byrne did the same.

Ryder will keep 73 in Montreal, Gallagher switches to 11. Ryder says he'll do something for the kid...

More from the jackass

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Ryder is so classless asking for his number back, what an a$$

 

[Account Terminated]

Comes to Montreal, is given is old number by current player wearing it.

Instantly becomes an ass.

Bad Luck Ryder.

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

Luc Gelinas just said Ryder wants a written apology from HFboards poster "Maxpac"

 

[Gary320]

This is why you should double proof read posts before you submit them in HF.

 

[poetryinmotion]

Gomez took a dump on #11 so Gallagher will need a lot of time and success to wash all the **** off.

All he needs to do is smile. Once he does, my heart melts and I ask, "Koivu, who?"
really hope I don't need the sarcasm face here...

 

[Muminek]

Not on topic, but why do some fans dislike Ryder so much? Did he ask for a trade or what? I`m just asking for facts.
