Cramarossa Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's a slow Monday night, so I figured I'd make a quick thread about something I've wondered for a while. I think for the most part the nicknames the Canucks use are pretty well known and established (Bulldog, Granny, Marky, etc.), but I've noticed recently some creative nicknames/spellings that I'm not sure the fan base at large uses. I just wanted to pick your minds a bit to find out what you all call the Canucks. Some other approaches I've seen include "Hank/Henke" (Henrik Sedin), "Taney/Tanny" (Chris Tanev), "Virt/Virts" (Jake Virtanen), "Gauncer" (Brendan Gaunce) and "Sammy" (Sam Gagner).

goalie13 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I had to answer 'other' to all of them because I've never been a nickname guy. I don't feel like everyone on the ice necessarily needs a nickname. I've got nothing against the well established ones like Captain Kirk and King Richard, but beyond that I typically just refer to the players by their last name.

Brad Marchand Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Virtanen is apparently known as "Big Tuna". Got it while he was in Utica, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
