It’s not even that The Great One just deserves the respect of nobody else wearing his number.
He does, but that’s not even the the fatal flaw when it comes to wearing 99.
What it all boils down to is just that everybody on your team hates your guts.
You played 1 year of varsity hockey in high school and you barely even stepped on the ice.
Maybe you’re not the guy to wear 99 around here".
Sure, you may only get 6 or 7 guys to show up per game.
But all you needed was one.
Unless you’re actively dying, you could’t lay there on the ice.
You chose to wear 99 for a reason.
Clearly you think pretty highly of yourself.
