Sabres acquire Dmitry Kulikov for Mark Pysyk

[woods-racer]

Dmitry Kulikov will score the Sabres first goal of the season

 

 

Hopefully it's in the first game of the season in the first period. :ph34r:

I hope not. 6 is there for the taking, innit?

We'll get to see him skate in the World Cup in 27 days.

I don't think it's a question. Richards wouldn't have just said that. He likely asked Kulikov. Richards is the top reporter down in Florida.

77 is a great number. I don't know why we would think he'd take 6 as it doesn't appear he has any connection to it.

It's a good number for a defenseman. 77 is okay for Ray Bourque, I guess :P I can't stand it though.

The first player I ever think of with 77 is Espo.  Then Turgeon.  

 

Defensemen: Coffey, Hedman.  McKee and Zhitnik wore it for a bit, too.

77 > 6. I don't want Weber flashbacks

But what about Spacek, Housley, or Schonny?

Little too young for any of them but Spaceship

[Randall Flagg]

77 is just the definition of a NASCAR number for me, I guess. I'd rather he wear 43! (I think that's the number Hoss regularly hates on)

[Radar]

I could care less about what number any player wears. What's the big deal?

[beerme1]

C'mon. Spacek?

[WildCard]

C'mon. Spacek?

Huh? We uses to call him Spaceship

[Hoss]

Some people do care. Like me. I care an unhealthy amount about what numbers players on my favorite teams are wearing. If you don't care then why comment?

[That Aud Smell]

Teammates called him Spacho, yes?

 

Occurs to me: I missed the boat on calling him Gazpacho.

Ummm...wut. Nascar numbers are the big ones with no relation to anything or anyone, like 82, 72, 58, 68. Double digits have a long prodigious history in hockey and should be viewed as such. Every high double digit immediately makes you think Mario, Wayne, Lindros, Bourque...um...Hecht. I think you get my point.

There's no way you care as much as Rip. He cares so much he uses the numbers as weapons.

Taking the NASCAR analogy to the extreme, with the coming of ads on jerseys, will we get to a point where we identify a player with number regardless of team.  "Wearing the the white #23 jersey give it up for Sam Reinhart!"  Which by the way would be a great driver name.

[Hoss]

I would assign Rip 666

Those numbers are "double digits" too... and the fact that it's 2 sevens that was worn by a good hockey player in the past doesn't make it look any more aesthetically pleasing to me than any of those other ones. 77 looks hideous to me, is all I'm saying.

You sound opppsite "brained" from me. Probably a good thing for you.
