Numbers game
This came out a month ago, but I hadn't seen mention of it. Team Canada's players have selected their sweater numbers. Here's the guys wearing different numbers than they do in league play:
- Joe Sakic, 91 (Yzerman's number 19 is "retired" for these Olympics)
- Brad Richards, 39 (ditto)
- Shane Doan, 9 (ditto)
- Jason Spezza, 10 (ditto - if he plays)
- Todd Bertuzzi, 14 (Orbs is wearing the 44)
- Simon Gagne, 21 (Iginla's got the 12)
- Eric Staal, 22 (ditto - if he plays)
- Vincent Lecavalier, 40 (Rob Blake is 4)

Thornton is normally 19, as well, and will be wearing 97. (Unless TSN.ca is wrong)
Yes he is, my omission. Anyone know if Richards, Doan, Spezza, & JT picked 19 because they were Stevie/Sakic fans?
Possibly. I believe Stevie Y picked #19 because of Trottier. Larry Robinson was #19 also.
I think Sakic had #88 to start in Quebec, non?
Other great #19's - Naslund and Kovalchuk, damn foreigners. Why can't they just spell 19 in their own stupid languages?
Who the hell wears #3, anyway? What's Farnsworth doing, honouring Bob Gassoff?
