:lol that would suck to have that one aaaaahaha

How about John "5-Hole" Casey?

Red Light Racicot. They use to say he had a sunburn on his neck from all the times the goal light went on lol.

True, but he DOES have a Stanley Cup ring. Who do you think is laughing last?

[Icer]

Mr. Hockey (Gordie Howe)

The media and fans pasted this one on him. Opponents called him "Mr. Elbows" and teammates called him "Blinky" (Howe had a facial tic that caused reflexive blinking after a serious injury in the 1950 playoffs).

 

[mcphee]

Steve Shutt called his line the donut line.[Lafleur/Mahovlich/Shutt] No center.

 

[Naoned]

Red Light Racicot is by far the funniest.

 

[Marshall]

Rob "Cinco" DiMaio

 

[Seph]

a couple that haven't been mentioned:

Doug Brown-ov (had amazing chemistry with Fedorov and no one else).
the Czech Mates.
And Breezey-by always makes me laugh when I hear people say it.


Oh, and I thought it would've been funny if Valeri Bure was called the Russian Pocket Rocket, but he wasn't good enough to get a nickname like that.
