That would certainly justify your disdain for him, but it doesn't make the nickname any less childish or inappropriate.Visqi, after reading Torts comments in the Athletic article that Wennberg knows what he is doing wrong but has simply failed to do anything about it up to this point, it does not seem that the nickname is either childish or inappropriate.
The interview I saw was about how the power play has been missing what he has , a lethal accurate , and quick shot . And how that could help our power play . This was during the time he was back here training , and Jarmo was commenting on his physique , as a man nowI haven't been paying too much attention to Jarmo's hype job. Is he hyping Bemstrom specifically in response to questions about how we'll perform this coming year? Or is it a more general "we've got a bright future"? There's prospects out there that are more hyped than Bemstrom that aren't expected to be in the NHL next year.

Sam GagnerBemstrom will need to round out his game, the league doesn't have room to put one trick ponies on the fourth line anymore ie goons or Balastik
I agree with Viqsi, "Wendy" is a much better nickname for himThat would certainly justify your disdain for him, but it doesn't make the nickname any less childish or inappropriate.
I kind of assumed that was already happening.The league is literally moving away from goons and fighting. It's very possible that teams start using the 4th as younger energy roles for kids to prove themselves as the goonery dies out.
...how about we just dump the derogatory nicknames entirely?I agree with Viqsi, "Wendy" is a much better nickname for him
It is. I could see a Bemstrom-Texier-Milano 4th this year actually..swap the wings if need be but that could be a fast dangerous 4th line.I kind of assumed that was already happening.
Dangerous for both teams.It is. I could see a Bemstrom-Texier-Milano 4th this year actually..swap the wings if need be but that could be a fast dangerous 4th line.
I'd like to get back to calling him Winberg. But that nickname doesn't fit either at the moment....how about we just dump the derogatory nicknames entirely?
Sorry Viqsi. We ALL want Wennberg to re-find his groove. And I apologize, meant no offense to anyone!...how about we just dump the derogatory nicknames entirely?
