UtrexTV Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Do you think somebody called him and said "hey we like to have all our defenceman wear low numbers" seriously, all our defenceman have a number below 10 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Karlsson Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Shirokov had to change his #52 to #25, didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allkill326 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 We should have a player wearing #98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Duck Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 He wouldn't be able to live up to that number. Only a guy a generational talent can do it justice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laoag Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 not bad. I just want Jensen to have like 60-79 anything there totally random but yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead_82 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I agree that players should be able to wear any number they choose, so long as it's not currently taken by another player or retired. This isn't the NFL people, G52-Bomber would have been a nice nickname though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleasingLeeJK Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 52 is not a defenseman number; 5 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksfor2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think I read somewhere that he was given #52 somewhere along the line (maybe at camp?), and never bothered to change it. As others have said, defensemen wearing low numbers is a tradition. Certain numbers have a particular position or role related to them. 1, 31, 33, 35 are goalie numbers. Players who wear 19 are often captains. #91-99 is usually worn by high-scoring forwards. A lot of two-way forwards wear numbers from #11-18 etc etc... Numbers in the 50's and 60's are often for grinders and role players (#66 being an obvious exception). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
