Best Bruin to wear ##?

[MiracleOfO2704]

It would be interesting to see the best players not named on the list, for the very simple reason another player wore that same number.  Peter McNab comes to mind.  Or my favorite trivia answer, Bob Armstrong. 
 
Not sure why Rolston is in the same conversation as either Oates or Cashman.  

 
Because someone's hoping mikeford's going to wander into this thread and have a rage heart attack thinking about him.

For 27 I'd say the corpse of Glen Murray over Dave Christian.

We could have had an all timer at 27, but alas....

Yeah....   his training camp #....  then offered Clappers 5 but he opted for....    
 
edit: Clapper, not Hitchman... doh!

Bill Guerin #13
 
Sergei Samsonov #14

I assume TFP did this all in his head given his Rainmen-esque knowledge of ex-Bruins and their numbers.
 
I was filling it out line for line until I had to shut my computer down but I had Lucic at 17 and Dallas Smith as well.  Pie McKenzie at 17 is another possibility, though I'd probably give it to Looch.  And my god, 30 was basically where goalies went to die between Cheevers and Thomas.
 
The most interesting part is going through some of the numbers and having no idea who the recent guys that wore them are.  Nick Johnson, I have no idea who you are/were and I will never remember you wearing 32 for those 9 games.

 
I think he fits a whole lot better at 19.  Having worn that number and all

Mixed Lucic and Jumbo Joe up. Thems the breaks.

Surprised there are no votes for #7 yet.

Espo!

Gary Doak at 25 - another excellent stay at home D who was fearless. Would dive face first into shots.  Ran into him at the baseball tavern a decade or so ago and he was very gracious to my then 7 year old son and me.

Also, at #1, Gilles Gilbert was better than Pete Peeters...

It's a low bar, but Quaid-ey has proven he's the best 54 the B's have had, and Sveddy for 72

How dare you impugn the good name of Hannu Toivonen?
 
Actually, just for 2010-11 alone, you're probably right.
