OK so this is all I could come up with at this hour, but if Mike Modano signs with the Wings, what number will he wear? Because, I mean, #9 is absolutely out of the question. We all know that, and it bears no further discussion. so that leaves him with some number that included the number 9, right? So yeah...#19? No way. It's in the rafters for reasons that pale (however slightly) only to #9. #99? Well I'm pretty sure the NHL retired that number across the league, right? In fact its the only number retired across the NHL. So thats out. The numbers 29, 39, 40, 59, 69, 79, and 89 are just boring. Well, 69 isn't, but this is a family blog for chrissakes.
What about flipping it over? #6? Nope, that number is retired by the Wings. Didn't know that? Yep, it belonged to Larry Aurie, who quarterbacked the Wings to thier first Stanley Cups in 1936 and 37. #16? Again...belongs to someone else. So you see where I am going with this?
Mike strikes me as being a single digit type of guy, so that leaves him 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8 to choose from. If he signs, I guess we will see how this number dilemma will pan out.
On a side note, it is absolutely pathertic that I actually posted this.
