Fedotenko will wear No 26 #NYR

[Loffen]

Amazing.

[TrollololBoyle]

What number will Kreider where now?? I ws under the assumption that once Fedotenko left/Kreider made the team, he'd get 19.

[wolfgaze]

Liked #91 better.

[drewcon40]

I am curious to see what number Rupp goes with as well as Feds' new number. Maybe 26 will be vacated by Eric Christensen.

I would guess 20. It's what he's worn internationally when 19 was unavailable.

uh ohhh now theres no way kreider will want to be a ranger!

I wonder what kind of jersey sales Richards is going to get...I feel like most Rangers fans are switching over to the Hank, Cally, Dubinsky train of jerseys...even the fans are going with the homegrown guys now

Agree, assuming it'll be available, #20.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone bought a Richards jersey off ebay and it showed evidence of a nameplate change from Gomez. And I'm not talking one or two shirts either. I mean like all of them from the mass produced & sold knockoff's

[GregNYR19]

i like this because my current hockey number (since about 2005) has been #19

Was wondering if Tim Erixon would opt for his dad's number this season if available, given that he makes the team...

[Barbara Underhill]

Obviously saving #91 for Stamkos after we acquire him and sign him for peanuts.

[YMMV]

Hopefully the Gomez cursed #19 doesn't carry over...

[Clowes Line]

Also, among other things, Richards also stated that he hates the Islanders!

http://www.snyrangersblog.com/2011/0...hards-on-wfan/

"After prodding from Rosenberg, Richards says that he hates the Islanders. Rosenberg celebrates as if the Rangers won the Stanley Cup."

HE HATES THE ISLANDERS!!!!!! HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!

it is official

[trueblue231930]

I already picked up a Richards 19 jersey on Sunday

[acapps10]

Now my Gomez jersey wont become a complete waste after I rip is name off and replace it with Richards.

Feds is wearing #26. Change the title to include Feds number as well.

Hopefully that means the end of EC's Ranger career.

Hmmm...

I know it's obvious, but Kreider does not deserve a number until he makes the team.

And for the superstitious posters on here, he's had waayyyy more success with the #20.
