Right- its like we are jinxed

even when we get the first pick it doesnt work out ( or the 2nd)

To me, it not working out would be them not scoring right away in the AHL, not the NHL.

I agree with you but I get the safe choice people are theorizing about too. 2 points is better than none.

I think this is what it comes down to. If we start Shesty and have a hard fought, fast-paced game tonight which is to be expected and we end up losing, we then go into tomorrow at home with a tired team and backup goalie. Here we at least give Georgy a fresh team in front of him and let Shesty buoy a tired team over the yotes tomorrow.

I demand you apologize for Tim Hortons.

I think one of the problems is the number. It doesnt suit him. He is not a #13. I dont see it. Lafrenière should change his number - Maybe 66 ?

Nobody currently wears 66 in the entire NHL. It seems to be an unwritten rule that no one will wear it.

There is likely no reason. I can check.

My guess is out of respect for Mario. That and nobody wants the comparison.

That's an enduring myth. It's actually out of respect for Joshua Ho-Sang

That is what has happened with Mario Lemieux’s number 66. It’s not a league mandate. It’s not something that was decided upon in a memo. It’s an unwritten rule that came about organically.

That (frank)er actually wears 66. Has he played an NHL game?
