Ottawa Senators Are Retiring Chris Neil's #25. Yes, You Read That Right.

Hysterical.

[siddious]

Another “look at us were a real team with tradition” 

[BrooksBurner]

They retired Chris Phillips' number so their bar is really low already. This isn't any lower than that. It's a mockery of retiring jersey numbers.

[Phil]

Solution: stop retiring numbers. Just honor them. Then this isn't a problem.

[Sharpshooter]

And I heard complaints when the Rangers retired Adam Graves number. lol

This might be the all-time worst I’ve ever seen. In any sport.

[L'albatros]

I want Ryan Reynolds to buy the team. 

[Sharpshooter]

Damian Rhodes next?

Alt solution: Stop caring about retired numbers, especially on teams one doesn't root for.

The problem is that this sort of thing ultimately puts pressure on teams that I do root for to retire numbers.

Yes, the team that entered the league in 1992 is certainly putting pressure on the team who entered the league in 1926 regarding how to treat history.

The overall league-wide trend impacts Rangers.  We are fortunate that Greschner retired 32 years ago.  He'd get it retired now.

Definitely more of a jab at you for posting something that makes no sense.

I dont think so. It was supposed to say Neil but my phone autocorrected to O’Neil because i was talking about Shaquille O’Neil in another thread. I dont think Pete was trying to be malicious. Makes sense now?
