Wouldn't "Turk" be an outlier of the named goalies considering it dates back to Broda's childhood? Unless of course Johnny Bower was actually called "The China Wall" as a child. I can't say for sure that he wasn't, after all.

'Neo' is good.

Rolling with 'The Great Dane', you could go with 'Scooby' or 'Marmaduke'

^ 'Andy' or 'Freddy' would be my main short-hands though.

We need to determine the correct Andie/Andy and Freddie/Freddy spelling. If we're not all using the same spelling we'll look like fools.

'Andy' for sure, but I found myself asking the same 'Freddy'/'Freddie' question. I don't know if it makes any sense, but I think I use 'Freddy' for Andersen and 'Freddie' for Gauthier.

See, I've always just gone Freddie for Andy and Goat for the Goat.

All our good goalies had good nicknames

Does Bibeau or Andersen have a nick name yet

:shakehead
I really don't get the infatuation people have to give nicknames to everything.
However, when it comes to Andersen I'm watching a save and...
"atta boy freddy, settle this **** down"
"FREDDYYYYYYY"
"stop him freddy, yayyyyyy"
stuff like that....so it's always going to be 'freddy' for me.

Kruger.

But yeah, if he keeps playing well, he will get his share of "Freddy! Freddy!" chants that Cujo and Eddie used to get.
