53 days from today, the Pittsburgh Penguins will drop the puck to open up their 47th season in the National Hockey League. This would be their 48th season, but because of the lockout in 2004-05 (Bettman Sucks) it's only their 47th season. As you may or may not have already read, we are doing a countdown until opening night by going back in time to see what players have worn what numbers as members of the Pittsburgh Penguins Hockey Club. Today is 53 days and no member of the Pittsburgh Penguins has ever worn the number 53.
Throughout NHL History, 42 players have worn the number 53. Here are some notables. Casey Cizikas, Tim Erixon, Matt Hendricks, Nikolai Khabibulin, Mike Kostka, Alec Martinez, Derek Morris, Chris Mueller, Joe Pavelski, and most famously worn by Jeff Skinner.
We don't wanna write a summary of Jeff Skinner's career, so here are a bunch of gifs that we find funny. Sorry, when no one good wears 53, we half ass our shit.
This is our best effort, tune in tomorrow to see who is #52.
Go Pens
