Morning Skate: Numbers game

It is Wednesday, my dudes.

Yesterday, the Bruins announced the jersey numbers for their new free agent signings — this passes as exciting news in August.

Your new numbers are as follows:

  • Nick Foligno - 17
  • Derek Forbort - 28
  • Linus Ullmark - 35
  • Erik Haula - 56
  • Tomas Nosek - 92

At first glance, Nosek gets first place for me. High jersey numbers rule. We need more players in the 90s.

Nosek also gets the award for most unique choice: per Hockey Reference, he’ll be just the third player in franchise history to wear 92.
