The one great thing about the NHL... the players names. Foreign names are often pretty much awesome, probably because they are foreign to us

For example, i think Sven (albiet a first name, whereas im going w/ last names in my post) is a pretty awesome name, but thats not a typical North American name.

That said, a few names off of the top of my head that i think are cool names

Clutterbuck
Zetterberg
Zidlicky
Cheechoo
Bouwmeester
Filppula
Byfuglien

There was a guy on the Rangers a while back named Jeff Beukeboom. Solid name.

Solid player. Just ask Brian Leetch how he won his 2 Norris Trophys.

As for names,...

Satan or Tugnutt. Both winners.

Carlo Colaiacovo because it's impossible to say 10 times fast without getting tongue tied.

Go rest high on that mountain, cause son your work on Earth is done. Go to Heaven a'shouting love for the Father and the Son. Ruslan Salei, Brad McCrimmon, Stefan Liv, Pavol Demitra, and the entire Lokomotiv team.

Zetterberg.

Which for the time being is now Zettertrain.

Top 20 plays between Datsyuk and Zetterberg! (Rated by me).

I always thought the sound of "Jaromir Jagr" fit his size/play rather well. Just sounds lethal.

If some bored artist wants to make me a signature, feel free to cut loose and do so.

Of course, I could get off my lame rear and do something.

My favorite is Vikingstad. How badass is that? He was on the Norwegian national team at Vancouver last year. Okay, hold the phone: check out his Wiki page - there's a whole section on his name! "Tore Vikingstad has an awesome name that has led people in North America to believe he is a legendary nordic figure." Holy crap, they're so right! Swear to God I didn't see this until I went on there right now. :lol:

Other good ones:
Niedermayer (my dad has to make an Animal House reference every time he hears it, heh)
Niittymaki
Latendresse (aww, how sweet, lol)
Quick (best goalie name ever)
Bryzgalov
Del Zotto
Getzlaf
Hamhuis (Ham-hwis? Ham-hyoos? Whatever, it's funny however you're supposed to say it)
Festerling
Nodl (I always call him Noodle)
Lundqvist (not uncommon-sounding to me...I just like the name)

Pretty much all Finnish names are awesome. My favs on the Wings are Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Kronwall, and Abdelkader. We've got some good ones. Oh dude, and I can't wait until Jarnkrok starts playing for us...Iron fricking Hook, everybody!

Nobody lives forever.
Some things never die.
Like up in the land of ice and snow,
They tell me that a Red Wing always flies.
