Loved the second one:
Nicklas Backstrom - Briefly created controversy by wearing #99, which is associated with Wayne Gretzky, before switching to #69, which is associated with that fat guy with the mullet in your ball hockey league.

There is a guy in my men's league that wears that on one team... he's the fat guy with the mullett!!! (no seriously, he is)

Bwa-ha-ha-ha... wearing the number 69 indicates that you haven't been there.
Once you have been-there-done-that you probably don't need to pretend you do.

Pavel Bure used to wear #96, so what does that say about him?

It's actually a pretty silly reason for Bure to request that number.
The hockey-gods let him know about it with two knee injuries.

always a good read.

My fav....

Alexander Semin - Got tired of constantly being referred to as "the enigmatic Russian"; signed with his hometown team in Russia so that he could try constantly being referred to as "the enigmatic local boy" instead.

I hope everyone caught the photo caption with Kovalchuk and Ovechkin. The caption is usually the best part of the entire article.

Oh, thanks, I just noticed the caption....I need to change my vote to the Chara one.

That made me spit some of lunch onto my monitor.
