Some of the fans (and bloggers) over at KuklasKorner don't want Commodore to wear #64 because they feel their team is above this type of "lame joke". To those people, I say get over yourselves.

Heck, is Steve Heinze can wear #57 and Jim Otto of the Oakland Raiders can wear double-zero, if Commodore wants to wear #64 (and I hear there's a charity drive currently underway), he should wear it.

it's a fucking game people. players skate around on ice and try to knock a peice of rubber into a net with a stick while a bunch of big dudes try to knock the shit out of them. what part of that doesn't already sound fucking absurd?

jesus forking crepes, get over yourselves.

I don't know, I get what you're saying but I kind of like the Devils rule. Lou only allows low numbers, unless you already have a high number coming from another team and really want to keep it (Mogilny). Otherwise keep the numbers low, it's a way of showing you're not looking for attention or you're not above the team.

i agree. from the team/player/management standpoint, there has to be a structure, whatever that structure may be, and internal consisitency.

but for fans to get so uptight about this is ridiculous.

Exactly. At the end of the day, it's a blogger complaining about a game.

The reason I wouldn't mind if he wore 64 is because Mike Commodore is not hardly a player that is really going to be able to tarnish the legacy of the Winged Wheel.

Exactly.

I think people are much too worried about the name and number on the back of the jersey and think that somehow this will reflect badly on the Winged Wheel on the front of the jersey. I think most hockey fans are sophisticated enough to make the distinction.

Also, there's the business side of hockey and the entertainment side of hockey, what's wrong with having a little fun while at the same time selling some jerseys and raising some money for charity?

Ok, fine, I'll admit it... we don't want Mike to wear #64 because it reminds us of the fact that no one in Michigan can afford a computer newer than a Commodore 64..

Yeah but...just because we can't afford new computers doesn't mean we don't get them. One just has to know which dumpsters to raid in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

Go shopping in Vancouver. Just make sure the store doors are locked and the windows are gone.







Too soon?

And also reminds you that every one of the players on your team knows exactly what a Commodore 64 is!
