radoran Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 There are some people that simply don't belong on this list in the company of the others - I don't have a solid argument for someone else, but they might have been better off simply not noting that number. Jussi Jokinen?? (for that matter, there are FAR too many Carolina Hurricanes on this list - do they just give out numbers no other team uses, or what?)Martin Biron?Paul Ranger?Yakupov?RADULOV? And Modano over O'Reilly 12 times out of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Modano over O'Reilly 12 times out of 5. I think the concept of the article was very interesting, but my reaction to some of the names was very similar. He was reading these to me at work, and when we got into the higher numbers I was literally laughing at the lack of what some jersey numbers have to offer. I think Yakupov gave me the biggest laugh.

And Modano over O'Reilly 12 times out of 5.I think that's what made it interesting. Seeing that some of these numbers so many people just didn't use that they had to dig and find subpar players. Then, other numbers seemed to have a log-jam of quality players that wore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
