I thought I read that Huet was taking #33, which was ever-so-slightly disappointing.
He changed his mind.
And what do we think - Tinordi (sorry, Butsy), um... Bulis(?) and Sergei as the "best" to wear each of those numbers?
Tinordi, yes. Sad, when Jan Bulis is the best of a number. Fedorov though is also the worst.
Dennis Smith, Alain Cote, and Bob Babcock wore the hell out of 38 in 1989-90, didn't they? 7 games, no points, 7 PIMs between the three. Babcock liked that number so much he grabbed another number in 92-93 (another cup of coffee) when he could have had 38 again.
Maybe I ought to break out that musty dusty old Tinner sweater from the back of the closet and wear it on Saturday. No question he was the best of the 24s. ("Larry Bolonchuk"?? Yikes.)
