Come again? Ok, ok, let's blame everyone who wears 19 or has a 9 in their number for admiring Steve Yzerman. Get a life.

HEY Adam Oates was amazing! theres nothing wrong with taking other's number if thats the one you wanna wear.

Answer 5

Yeah now the Lightning give Lecalvier $77 Million contract.Imitators!

Answer 6

maybe some people are forced to take the double 7, some teams have retired numbers. They arent stealing, they are free to pick any number as long as its not retired by that team or 66 99

Answer 7

Using your logic, that no one should use the number of a great player, we would be well into the 3 digit numbers by now.
