odin got a new, sporty hockey jersey complete with his last name and the number 4. no silly, it’s not 4 because that’s favre’s number. some long-time readers recall that odin is actually his nickname – his given name is eric c. snowdeal iv. and, of course, he was born on the fourth of july in 2004. so, we thought 4 was as good a number as any.
don’t tell anyone, but they don’t normally take special requests for numbers – it just so happens that the person who ordered the jerseys thinks odin’s so darn special that she made a few phone calls and made sure his was extra special.
Also Bobby Orr’s number. Growing up a Bruins fan in the 70’s, I think that makes him very nicely outfitted.
