Who?

 

[PlushMinus]

Here to see Pens fans express their outrage at the disrespect and inhumanity

 

[dirtydanglez]

i like it. never understood the idea of retiring numbers.

This is a non-story

This is a non-story

The real story is how goofy 66 looks in Duck font

1 6 away from the devil, bad times we are living in.

 

[CraigBillington]

Anyone who feels that wearing #66 is disrespectful is a dolt.

And this is from a huge Lemieux fan.

The real story is how goofy 66 looks in Duck font

To a Russian, it almost looks like BB

The logo on the front is far more offensive.

 

[GKJ]

Congrats to him making it to the NHL. He gets to wear a number just like everyone else.

Should be duck vomiting

It's not that complicated.

 

[Terry Yake]

who cares?

 

[dirtydanglez]

It's not that complicated.

i think it's misguided.

 

[D Wakaluk]

Is it like a better DeAngelo?

But great for him to join the legendary gang of Lemieux, Ho-Sang and apparently TJ Brodie

 

[frisco]

Putting a lot of pressure on himself early trying to live up to the legend of Ho-Sang...

My Best-Carey

 

[Asinine]

There, I fixed it.

It’s to honor the all time bests

A lot of teams go overboard and retire way too many numbers, but retiring 1 or 2 makes a lot of sense. If the player deserves it

I didn’t think Mario ever played for the ducks, though

EDIT: I missed @Summer Rose ’s likes on everything once the panthers beat the leafs last year

Round 2 coming up in a week! Best of luck!

 

[Mr. T]

The first time ever that an Italian has taken something that doesn't belong to them.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

If it should be retired league-wide, then retire it league-wide.

It was when Josh Ho-Sang wore it but I think we all know the reasons why.

 

[NVious]

JT Miller will be the first man to wear number 165. #GOATLife

 

[Voight]

Ho-Sang didn't have the best rep so he was already running a deficit in public relations.

 

[Calderon]

Allow the use of legendary numbers by adding a # in front. Hashtag 66 is then considered a homage in a truer and more modern sense.

 

[HabsForHire]

he isn't on the Pens so who cares, Rick the hell out of that number
