yeah, wasn't Parise #11 before he joined the Devils, but Madden already had that number?? I haven't been able to stomach watching teh Wild yet, did he stick with 9 or go back to 11?? Agree on givign 27 out to Mottau being much worse.
yeah i really cant believe they gave out neids number like that. it kinda taints the retirement a bit.
as for parise i didnt realize until after he went to the wild that he wanted #11. seeing him in it is kinda weird. #9 is a sexy hockey number i will say that much....my gf has a parise jersey and im hoping that one day i can take off the parise and put ryan on it.
