Early thoughts on nicknames

Some old, some new, some ridiculous.

The current crop:

Ilya "The Czar" Kovalchuck (Of course)
"The Late" Slava Kozlov (To be Lazaruslov if he comes back to life this year)
Jimmy "The Tulip" Slater (see The Whole Nine Yards)
Eric "JP" Perrin (Because we didn't want to learn his name after taking JPVJ's number)
Ron "Mr. Hankey" Hainsey (Hainsey just kind of sounds like Hankey)
Tobi Keith Enstrom
Zach "Bogo the Bull/Bogo the Bogosian; Bogo the destructor" Bogosian (see Ghostbusters)
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSE!
Kari "Squirrel" Lehtonen (Sorry, Kari, but your nickname is dependent on your backup goalie)

Some old favorites:

Serge "Everybody Wins!" Aubin
Peter "Bonsai" Bondra
Andrew "Bruno" Brunette

Genius, pure genius.

Sadly, Anonymous won't get some of these nicknames because they are inside jokes.

We should try to make this thing idiot proof.

Nice one Rawhide!

I always thought of Hossa as "The Professor." If Kozlov recovers next season he should become Field Marshall Lazaruslov to Czar Ilya.

Per should be "Commando" :)

Commando? Did Per Svartdvadet regularly play without underwear?
