Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Nick Foligno" in English language version.
Foligno has worn No. 71 for his entire 14-year NHL career, though he may have to go through some more negotiating if he wants to don it in Boston..."Actually, I got told that. I was like, 'Oh yeah, I forgot Taylor Hall took 71.' Son of a gun," Foligno said with a smile. "I'm going to have to text him and see if I can steal it back. But I'm not sure, I haven't really thought that far through. I'm just thrilled to be a Bruin.
Perhaps the most interesting number is Foligno wearing 17. He typically wears 71, but Bruins winger Taylor Hall already has that number. The previous two Bruins players to wear No. 17 were Ryan Donato and, of course, Milan Lucic.
