Hockey nicknames are as boring as hockey personalities. Though "The Dominator" and "The Legion of Doom" were pretty good.

I laughed so hard when Klein yelled "Kreidizzle" to Kreider haha. Now that's a fun nickname

Like every Vladislav/Vladimir, he was called Vlad and Vladdy on the Lightning board as well as Names.
He was also called the Russian Bieber which is perfect for him.

I can't unsee this.
A posted pic of him shooting heroin or something I could forgive. That's something he can work through and come out the other side a stronger human being.
But this.. this is dark.

You're literally the only person on earth that thinks that's funny and/or clever.

I think they're trying to say that being a "Belieber" is worthy of the ninth circle of Hell.

a 50+ like thread on the main board vs one guy getting angry on 3 different occasions because I called his favorite player a bozo

Pretty much this. Sorry if it offends, but some punches just can't be pulled.
Miller is not my favorite player. It has nothing to do with how much I like Miller. You just sound like you're no older than 7 by not only using that nickname but actually thinking it's clever.

Is he playing well? His production doesn’t seem good but that might be for other reasons.

Namestnikov is definitely a tier below Miller as a player. However, I think the Rangers knew that when they included him and it was something else about Miller that offset the difference

Mmmmmmmm...not really.
They're both on the same tier, but play a bit differently. Names is a much better offensive talent and better cat transitioning the puck into the OZ. Miller is a lot better on the forecheck and being a physical presence to move the puck and retrieving it.
Two different games, really.

I think Miller is a better offensive player, pretty unequivocally. Namestnikov plays a better all-around game though. Depends on what you value more.
