NGKEIB 32 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Let's face it - at some point everyone here has used a ridiculous nickname for one of our players and/or prospects. I'm not saying that I think 'Fish Sticks' will stick (no pun intended), or that it should, but I'm bored and figured that I would make a list of all of our players and prospects, and nicknames that go with them (I'm not including all of the GR players or any of the depth signings we made), for the sake of those who hear someone being referred to with weird names, but don't know who. Also an opportunity to showcase totally absurd nicknames. Please contribute. Bertuzzi: Big Bert Cleary: Clears Datsyuk: Dats, Pasha Draper: Drapes Eaves: Ericsson: Big Rig Filppula: Flip Franzén: Mule, Franzenstein Helm: Hurricane Helm, Helmer, Nightmare on Helm Street, Helminator Holmström: Homer, Demolition Man Howard: Hungry Howie Kronwall: Kronner Lebda: Lebs Leino: Pug, Villain Lidström: Lidas, Norris Lilja: Pain Train Maltby: Malts Meech: Meecher Osgood: Ozzie Rafalski: Raffy Stuart: Stewie Williams: Willy Zetterberg: Z, Zäta, Hank Abdelkader: Darth Kader, Gator, Abdelkadabra Axelsson: Hat-Trick Callahan: (Even if we do nothing else, we at least need a good one for him - the hope of all LGWers, who clearly won't come near being a Wing for at a few years, not that that stops anyone from drooling over him...)

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted September 8, 2009 We as fans don't, but I wouldn't be suprised if teammates called Lebda - Lebs, Meech - Meechy, and Williams - Willy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndaPanda 2 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 During the playoffs, came up with the nickname "Abaracadabra" for Abdelkader. It stuck and now both my boyfriend and I refer to him as that. I also call Mike Ribeiro from the Dallas Stars "Meerkat" cause he reminds me of one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mule 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Ville Leino should be Villain. Justin Abdelkader should be Abdelkadabra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
