Doohicksie Posted July 5, 2018 Report Posted July 5, 2018 But if he gets his choice, does he switch? I have no problem with him in 37. I think it would have been cool if Eich had kept 41. They could have started a whole new trend in team numbering, where the stars take the numbers just above the traditional goalie 30-somethings. Quote

I thought it was sort of weird, but I like it. 3 and 7 are the two numbers humans are most likely to randomly select between one and ten. He seems like the type that doesn't care too much about his number (and there's nothing wrong with caring about what number you wear). He had previously worn: 11 with team USA & in HS (retired) 14 with team USA (retired) 16 with team USA (retired) 20 with the USHL & team USA (taken by Scott Wilson) 21 with Minnesota (taken by Kyle Okposo) 22 with team USA (taken by Johan Larsson) He wore 77 in dev camp but likely didn't have a connection to it and never officially wore it with the team.

What are people accomplishing by telling somebody else what they can and can’t wear and why do you care so much? Let people spend their money and wear their money how they want.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 Clearly Casey is going to wear either the Infinity symbol, or the Alpha/Omega symbol. Numbers aren't worthy of Stadts 1 Quote

sabills Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 Looks like its happening, folks Quote The Charging Buffalo @TheChargingBUF 7m7 minutes ago JACK EICHEL IS SWITCHING TO #9!! Quote
Hoss Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Posted July 6, 2018 I saw some people saying he’s just trolling and covered up 15 but you can very clearly see #9 on the helmet. Cool. Quote

Hoss Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Posted July 6, 2018 He was doing Bauer stuff recently but that’s clearly the HarborCenter, so I’m curious if this is more Bauer stuff or something the team is doing to reveal the number via twitter. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 I'm surprisingly excited that this might be true. He just made an instagram post with it on! gorgeous! ! Quote

elcrusho Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 Good....move away from 15.....move away from everything that's be crap the last 3 years.... Quote
That Aud Smell Posted July 6, 2018 Report Posted July 6, 2018 It looks right. I can't find the quote about when he chose 15 - but he alluded to the fact that he likes the low numbers. 9 is good and low. 2 minutes ago, elcrusho said: Good....move away from 15.....move away from everything that's be crap the last 3 years.... YES! Quote
Hoss Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Posted July 6, 2018 I added a poll to the topic. 15 vs 9. Quote
