OT: Nicknames/Slang explained

[ashnathan]

Hi mods, sorry if this has been requested before, but can someone start a sticky, and have it updated as people chime in with nicknames for players/and anyone else for that matter, within the Boston organisation? It might sound stupid to some (apologies) but sometimes its hard to follow a discussion when so much slang is used to describe certain players/events etc

In fact, maybe just all things hockey as well as Boston, much appreciated thankyou

Here is a Yahoo article, which does link to an HFboard thread (not sure if it's the ORIGINAL). Article

Yeti for Soderberg started by EverettMike? I may be wrong on that one, but I think that's true. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Loopiest and therefore the greatest nickname ever.

No no no, Mike is Mike, Zylos is his BFF. They eat at UBurger all the time together

This is pretty silly, most of the nicknames are pretty obvious and dont take much to figure out, that being said...

I really think this year would be a good time to try ToTo, Gummy and The Hemisphere on the first line.

You can follow them with Pretzel, Tucky and Fritos and the second and the leave the obvious trio of Sandy Mae, Tommyboy and Slugs on the third.

Banister and The Hutch will be fine on the fourth and either of Nessy or Gumballs can come up from Providence.

"The newly formed “French Fries Line” (so dubbed because of Seguin’s nickname for Krejci, “french fries”, which is apparently what Krejci says when he calls Seguin “Franchise”)"

Clode is the French pronunciation of Claude.

Hockey players sure have creative and original nicknames:

Looch
Iggy
Horty
Marchy
Bergy
Smitty
Pie
Thorty
Soupy

The nicknames we see here are usually only heard here. The real nicknames aren't nearly as stupid.

At least the fries there are decent...?

I think they will trade Puffball from the blue line, but it will be a mistake, I really don't think 40watt is ready for primetime
