Lillypad? I'm going to puke. Can we not give our players wimpy effeminate nicknames forged out of laziness and a complete lack of originality? That's something you call an opposing player to mock him, much like I will mock Maxipad Domi later tonight when he faces the Leafs. You might as well be calling him Tiny Tim and playing tiptoe through the tulips when he steps on the ice, or Timothy Lil' Kim and then chanting for his Magicstick.
A nickname is supposed to augment the character of the player not make him seem lamer and wimpier than he already is. "Killer" Doug Gilmour, see how that's done? Because he has the eyes of a killer. "Uncle Leo" because his name is Leo and he annoys opposing players continuously like Jerry's annoying uncle. There's an art to a good nickname, and there is no artistry in calling this guy Lillypad. Come on, does anybody get intimidated by a floating leaf that frogs crap on? Here's a list of nicknames to be used instead, some Mod can pick one and then fix the thread title before our first round prospect reads this and demands a trade: Mad Dog, The Crippler, Dr Doom, The Kraken, Chainsaw, Tank
Also, from now on it's Tim Liljegren not "Timothy" like he's some 4 year old in a sailor's outfit. I'm certain Tim Horton would have punched you in the face and taken your lunch money if you called him Timothy Horton.
