Crimson JH Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) That’s a big role number to take as a backup… Edited September 20, 2023 by Crimson JH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sativika Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Only if Demmer sucks outta the gate. However I don't see that happening. Editing right now...........Oh sh*t! I only read the title. Misunderstood the op's question. Apologies. Honestly, I don't know if anyone is wearing #1 as of now. If it's available....why not?!?!?!?!?!? Has that always been his number in his hockey career? Edit again............Reading is key, kids!

RawkDrummer Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Why not, if he earns #2 then he's got NHL seniority. Edited September 20, 2023 by RawkDrummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJCF96 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 #1 never officially retired for either MacLean or Luongo; and there never any history with it that we should prevent future players from wearing it. Having said that, if I were him, I won't want that number. The number was worn by 2 Canuck legends, I would feel a lot of pressure wearing it as a back-up goalie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 If it's not retired, then grab it. No concerns from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 That question was answered when McLean and Lu went into the ROH instead of having the number retired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB43 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Out of respect, I doubt it, but I kind of hope he does for Luongos tweets. Edited September 20, 2023 by EB43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammertime Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 It's not retired but I kinda feel he has to earn that number a bit a backup shouldn't have rights to it. If Demko wanted to wear it I think that would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
