I was just thinking what are the current nicknames of the current roster players?

Also if they don't have one we can give them one.

Giordano = Gio
Cammalleri = Cammy
Glencross = GlenX
Byron = Lord Byron
Berra = Berracade
Monahan -=Mony
Hudler -= Huds
Backlund = Backs
Stajan = Ragin' Stajan / Staj
Galiardi = Gally
Colbonr = ?
Bouma = Boomer
D. Jones = Jonesy?
Stempniak = Stemps
Smid = Laddy
Russell = ?
Breen = Breen Giant
Wideman = Wides
Brodie = Brods
Ramo = ?
McGrattan = Big Ern
Westgarth = ?
Butler = Butsy


To the guys with the question marks, what are they nicknames? if they don't have one will give them one :)

McGrattan's is Big Ern, E-R-N, not Big Em.

Galiardi is Gally, Bouma's is Booms. Just watcha couple of post-game shows/interviews and you'll get them all eventually. And as much as you want Stajan's nickname to be Ragin' Stajan, it's just Staj (pronounced Stage.) :p

Yeah, Big Ern. Anyone know the meaning behind this? Is it maybe because some commentators call him McGratt-ERN? Just a play on the mispronunciation of his last name?

Sure, but if you read the first post it sounds as if we're talking about the player's regular nicknames, not what the fan's notions of nicknames are. Maybe I read it wrong. :laugh:

I know he's not on the team right now but I think it's interesting to note that Baertschi doesn't have one in the locker room. Nobody calls him Baertschi, and just about every post-game / media I've seen have the players calling him Sven, which is just his first name anyways. Not even a Svenny or anything. :dunno:

Suggestions?
