mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

[mikey]

Of course Jagr should be there...

[Gaucho]

Well, he'll never retire, so...

[nocera]

21, 66, 68, 87, 71. The end.

[mikey]

58 is going too as he is, by far, the best defenseman in team history and may well have created a fringe HOF case in his time here...

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Don't forget 46.

[DigitalGypsy66]

I was kind of surprised by this, but Letang is fifth in career scoring for the Pens. Behind Jagr by 379 points.

Also surprised, although not now that I think about it, that Crosby, Malkin, and Letang have more games played than Mario.

[willeyeam]

87/71/58 all go together. 29 was the question mark for me

[mikey]

Oh yeah, Fleury too...the best goalie in franchise history, by smaller, but very clear margin...

It's a little early to be drunk.

[mikey]

First of all, no it's not.
Second of all, I can't wait to attend his induction ceremony with you...my treat.

[dodint]

I'm not too proud to heckle.

This organization has been very conservative with retiring numbers. Unless that changes, 68, 87, and 71 are the only guarantees.

[faftorial]

Crazy to think that we could go from 2 retired numbers to maybe 7 in like ten years. I'm including Jagr in that, because his should be up there imo

Disagree as he didn't play enough of his career here but I won't lose sleep over it if they do.

Dafuq? Spent more than a decade here and won 2 Cups. He's going into the rafters.

[nocera]

I just hope they retire #1 for the fans.

Conservative or no choices? Besides 66 - maybe Pronovost? We didn't really have many options until recently

[meow]

What number did Zatkoff wear? Throw that **** up there too

[Gaucho]

Retire 31 and 101.

[Kane]

27 needs to be up there. Thou shalt not disrespect CFA.

[mikey]

Wait, Jagr didn't spend enough time here... ? Is that the charge?

[dodint]

mikey, are there a lot of defenseman in the HOF that never placed higher than third in a Norris vote?

I legit don't know if that's normal or not.

[dodint]

To answer my own question in part, Mark Howe. He was runner up for the award three times.

[willeyeam]

he's 122 points from cracking top 20 all-time in points, only actives ahead of him are Chara and Karlsson. Burns too at #19 currently. I'd think top 20 with 3 cups gets him consideration at least

[dodint]

"three cups"

[willeyeam]

Kevin Lowe is in with a highest Norris finish of #5. Only 4 top 10s
