The Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday announced the numbers their players will wear on their jerseys this season. Vadim Shipachyov got No. 87, and so the expansion team’s Twitter account used the occasion to take another light-hearted jab at the Penguins, specifically captain Sidney Crosby.
Now that our jersey numbers are in, our updated No. 87 power rankings:
1. Shipachyov
2. @RobGronkowski
3. Can't think of any others — Vegas Golden Knights (@GoldenKnights) August 30, 2017Get it? They’re pretending they don’t know Crosby wears No. 87. Like their post about keeping Penguins fans out of T-Mobile Arena, it was tacky but funny enough.
