steveoath Posted July 19, 2021 Report Posted July 19, 2021 Bloody hell. If Eichel goes that's one of my jerseys retired and now my Olofsson 50th is gubbed. At least he'll still be on the team though!! 1 Quote
Stoner Posted July 19, 2021 Report Posted July 19, 2021 There's a walking test for older people. How fast you can walk a certain distance is correlated to life expectancy. I wonder if the desire to change your number is correlated to a shorter NHL career? Is it good that a player thinks changing his number is going to somehow help? Quote

It’s just a preference of mine… I don’t mean it as a diss to anyone who likes to do that. Retired players jerseys have a lot longer shelf life 😂 1 Quote

steveoath Posted July 20, 2021 Report Posted July 20, 2021 Just for you @Eleven Derived from ‘gub’, the Scots word for mouth, ‘gubbing’ someone originally meant halting whatever was coming out of their mouth by force. However, over time the word’s meaning has changed to encompass anything, or anyone, that has fallen into an irretrievable state of disrepair or damage. A person is also gubbed if they have simply run out of steam, and can go no further. 1 1 Quote
sweetlou Posted July 20, 2021 Report Posted July 20, 2021 I wish players had to keep the same number for 5 years before being able to switch numbers. Have a little decency for the fans that shell out money for your uniform! Quote

Have a little decency for the fans that shell out money for your uniform! Expand Honestly, I don't see the issue. When I buy a jersey, it becomes a time capsule. That was a player on my team at that point in time. If it changes after that, so what? Teams never stay together for very long anyways. And all these people who had Eichel 15s and switched them out for 9s..... that's like getting rid of a rookie card. It's actually cool to have a jersey from when he first came up. 3 Quote

My hockey collection is 4: Perreault, Yzerman, Stafford, Reino. Honestly Staff is the only regrettable one but I'll still wear it once in a while. Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 20, 2021 Report Posted July 20, 2021 I love my Myers and my Eichel jersey. I think I have a Grigorenko in there too. Quote
