Daniel Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Saw this at the NHL Store on 6th Avenue. I mean, it's the NHL and the Devils so it wouldn't shock me if one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Nevertheless ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ELIAS6 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 thats going to make for one pissed off fan when hes not wearing 13.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If Cammy wants to wear 13, let him wear 13. What if he feels the number brings him good luck? Lou's superstitions shouldn't be more important than his. Not when it comes to stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 "We don't have a number 13" - Lou Lamoriello pretty sure the NHL store did not get the memo Could also mean we currently do not have a guy wearing #13, just saying. Anyway, if Cammi wants 13, give it to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caron14 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 In the Episode of «Your canadiens» Mike explain that number 13 is everywhere in his life. Good and bad memories. Personnal memories too. You can Watch it here... (go at 8 minutes if you want to know more about the number.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kD7ZZjFels As for lou's quote... im not sure what it means. Does it mean we wont allow him to wear it or nobody wear it in our team so he will have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's a stupid tradition anyway. They should let guys wear whatever available numbers there are. Signed, a guy whose hockey number was 13 as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgb6397 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Really wish Lou would just drop his whole jersey number obsession. What's the difference between 35 and 36? are numbers 36-99 really so tainted in his view? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 There's a lot of buildings that have a 13th floor. That number I can at least understand. I also agree the rest of the numbers thing is dumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree the rest of the numbers thing is dumb This drives me crazy. If the building has over 13 floors, and you just call the 13th floor the 14th floor, that takes away the supposed jinx of it being the 13th? It's still the 13th, no matter what you call it. If you built a 13th floor and then sealed it so that it was empty and the elevator didn't stop there, I would understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLL765 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Maybe I'm in the minority here and maybe it's because in just used to it, but I like the no high numbers thing. I think it goes along well with the team first philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William D'Aquila Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm surprised Lou finds 13 unlucky considering he is an italian american. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Lou has made exceptions for stars wearing high numbers. He *may* make an exception for Cammalleri but I doubt it. More likely he ends up 31 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjerseydamo Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 my guess is they've just done it like that as it's before training camp and that's the number he normally wears, nor have they consulted the Devils about it either. In terms of team philosophy and numbers, we will know once training camp starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He wouldn't let Ryder wear #73 and look what kind of season he had. Let 'em wear the numbers, Lou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely he ends up 31 or something. He asked for a 13 but they drew a 31... That brought back a lot of memories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Maybe I'm in the minority here and maybe it's because in just used to it, but I like the no high numbers thing. I think it goes along well with the team first philosophy.If that's the case, just assign everyone a number under 35 and don't let them choose at all. Letting guys "keep" their number only if it's under 35 is arbitrary and stupid. And letting #22 sign with the team and keep his number but telling #44 he has to change unless he's famous does not do anything toward enforcing a "team first" philosophy. It actually kind of says the bigger your ego and your profile, the more privileges you get. Edited August 31, 2014 by mfitz804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
