Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Alright, this is going to be immature, silly, and light-hearted, but I figure it'd be a good and possibly funny thread with which to pass the time as we wait for the next GDT, as opposed to starting yet another thread about which goalie or (insert name) is awful or what have you. So then, what hockey player names, past or present, do you find terribly amusing? I'll start with a couple of very obvious ones: Tugnutt (That one makes me feel sorry for the announcers) Satan (seeing someone skating around with that on their jersey never fails to amuse me) Peca Cheechoo (sounds like a pokemon, "Cheechoo, I choose you!" "Chee! Chee! Cheechoo!" Tootoo Not as obvious: Letang (I don't know why, but I think his name sounds like a good name for a Klingon... Commander Letang! Qapla'!)

To pick on the Flames a bit: Phaneuf always makes me laugh...I call him "Fluff n Stuff" (ironic because he's really not, but I just don't like him!) and Iginlia sounds like some horrible stomach virus!

Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Pull Dickoff: Soccer player for West Ham United in the UK. Wow, that's an amazing list, this one was probably the funniest to me though. Soccer has some strange names, then again what can you expect when one of your sports top stars is named Kaká. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chairman Maouth 97 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Paul Dickoff, not Pull Dickoff You appear to be right. I Googled both spellings and the most reliable, (BBC) has him as Paul (although there are more Google-hits for "Pull"). Apparently, this all began with the Brits accent and pronounciation of "Paul" sounding like "Pull". Edited May 14, 2008 by One of the Few Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
