Why is Johnny at this showcase? He's not a rookie anymore.

Weird that he wore #93 for that last season and yet ended up wearing #63 all year. The wrong-coloured helmets some players have in that video really annoys me too.

Teravainens dangle at 0:33 was pretty sick.
Nice goal by Johnny too.

I love #93 on Bennett and 52 is much better on Bollig. He looks like a 52. Only problem is I wish Jooris could keep 86.

I'm surprised Jooris elected to make the switch. Didn't he buy a bunch of 86 jerseys for his family?

Would love to have seen Bennet get #39, the same number Gilmour wore as a Flame.

Yeah that would have been cool

So it's official then? I can buy a Bennett #93?

Edit: Never mind, saw the other thread!

I bet he thinks (either consciously or subconsciously) that Burke will like him more if he goes to a low number, and therefore increases his chances of staying in the NHL.

Hockey players are a superstitious bunch. And if I thought even one tiny thing could help my chances, you bet your ass I'd do it too.
