A lot of players have worn #3 for the Rangers, even Tom Poti. I'm glad it's finally retired. I'd like to see Jean Ratelle and Ron Greschner get their numbers retired.

This is great. They also need to retire Edgar Laprade's number. A Hall Of Famer, played for the Rangers in the mid to late 40's and 50's, currently 93 years old.

Thank you Michael for giving up # 3 to become # 33. Adam Graves was # 9 too.

Hey YankeesGiants221. How far are you from Uniondale NY? In the Islanders were not allowed to wear #5, #9, #19, #22, #23, and #31. How far is Buffalo from New York city.
