icon57 Burke mandates lower jersey numbers

Aaron Vickers @AAVickers
Heads up, #Flames fans. Lower numbers are coming your way. (1/2)

Burke: "We're gonna get back to No. 1 to 35. If that was good enough for the great teams in the '50s, then it's good enough for us.

Meh, I never understood this need for lower numbers. Why is it so heretical that someone wants to wear an 8 instead of a 2?

Why would you need to have a jersey renumbered?

For instance, if I had a Cammalleri jersey #93 I would think that was pretty cool rather than changing it to 13.

It simply promotes team over individual.

Lou Lamoriello does the same thing. He did make an exception for Jagr though.

What if Bennett wants 93?

Seems like a silly thing to even spend time on.

Perfect. I hate the high, odd numbers. Also, I wish Monahan would wear 19. He's got that Yzerman, Sakic, Toews feel to him.

How? If someones favorite number is 8, why do they get to make a decision based on individualism, and not the guy whose favorite number is 88?

It just comes across as silly.

I am pretty sure the players will not have to pay to have their jersey renumbered.

It was good enough in the 1950s that commie #######s were not in the NHL too!
