Shut UP! Whatever dude. It's cool news to read. Entertaining as much as rumors. And rumors are often very idiot. I enjoy more reading those true news than freakin' made up rumors!!

Good enough!
For the past summers, Plekanec wanted to change his number but Bonk already had it... it's been a long time since Pleky wnted to change it.
Now we have a fresh change in the team!

I thought Hamrlik would take 3. I thought that Kostopoulos would take 36. I knew Smolinki was opting for 20. I was hoping Brisebois would keep 71 but on the Canadiens' website they listed him as 43, and it was "logical" to take the so long worn number, but like he said: It's a fresh start, and I enjoy he kept 71.
I was hoping Pleky was changing since the 14 was free! 35 is SOOO much of a goalie number... (reminds me of Andy Moog...)

The last time I can remember a player changed his number for a fresh change, it was Benoit Brunet who changed from 22 to 17. There was also Dainius Zubrus that switched from 28 to 15. But the # 28 was only temporary since he got traded in the team and got that number without questions. He changed his number during the next summertime.

I really like Huet's 39. It's sad that 29 is taken by Dryden (retired) cause Price was about to wear that number since 1 is also taken (Plante).
We'll se which number will be given out to him...
but I REALLY wonder WHY the rookies cannot choose their own number?? Why all the rookies are in the "40" range??? and now they are getting some 70s and 80s! Get the number you want :P

Latendresse's 84 is original and fits him well. Grabovski's 59 is weird but kinda nice. (Jarventi used to wear that jersey number).

Andrei Markov is another one who never changed his number from the rookies though now it fits him well.

Anyways, can't wait for the new season! And can't wait to see if anything is gonna change soon with other players!

See y'all!

Carey Price is #29 with the Hamilton Bulldogs... and wore for a long time #1. So he'll need to adjust his choice with the HABS 'cause all the greatest numbers are now gone...
In the first ten, only 3, 6 and 8 are available!

I hope price will choose a special number... I like goalies that take uncommon numbers... I HATE 31!!! 32 would be great but Streit have it. maybe 34?

i like the number switch for plek!#35 is a number that goaltenders usually wear anyway!#14 will suit plek! i thought that brisebois should've kept #43 but i guess he wanted #71 for a fresh start with us! #44 will suit hamrlik anyway i wasn't use to him wearing #4 in calgary! i thought that smolinski would choose #20 !i would've liked to see him in #15 though! i thought that kostopoulos would've have chosen #28! but #6 is o.k. what number is carey price can anyone tell me?
